Rules for Safe Operation

To help ensure safe operation, please take a moment to learn the machine’s applications and limitations, as well as potential hazards. General® International disclaims any real or implied warranty and hold itself harmless for any injury that may result from the improper use of its equipment.

1.Be sure to read, understand and follow all safety warnings and instructions in the supplied Operator’s Manual.

2.Do not operate the saw when tired, distracted, or under the effects of drugs, alcohol or any medication that impairs reflexes or alertness. Stay alert! Give your work your undivided attention.

3.Keep the work area well lit, clean and free of debris. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.

4.Keep children and shop visitors at a safe distance while operating the saw; do not permit them to operate the scroll saw.

5.Childproof and tamper proof your shop and all machinery with locks, padlocks, master electrical switches and switch keys, or by removing starter keys to prevent unauthorized or unsupervised use.

6.Fine particulate dust is a carcinogen that can be hazardous to health. Work in well ventilated area and use a dust collector whenever possible.

7.Wear approved safety glasses, dust mask and nonskid footwear. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets, necklaces or jewellery while operating the saw. Keep long hair contained by wearing protective hair covering.

8.Be sure all adjustment tools, wrenches or other clutter are removed from the machine and/or the table surface before operation. When not in use, tools should be locked-up in a dry place, out of children’s reach and away from flammable substances.

9.Keep hands well away from saw blade and all moving parts. Use a brush, not hands, to clear away chips and sawdust.

10.Be sure that saw blade is properly installed, and in proper cutting direction, before operation. Always use a clean, properly sharpened blade. Dirty or dull blades are unsafe and can lead to accidents. Also, be sure the blade has gained full operating speed before beginning to cut.

11.Do not push or force stock into the blade. The saw will perform better and more safely when working at the rate for which it was designed. Do not use for purposes not intended.

12.Avoid working from awkward or off balance positions. Do not overreach while cutting; keep both feet on floor. Never lean over or reach behind the blade and never pull the workpiece through the cut from behind.

13.Never stand or lean on the saw.Serious injury could occur if the unit is tipped over or if the blade is unintentionally contacted.

14.Use of parts and accessories NOT recommended by General® International may result in equipment malfunction or risk of injury.

15.Never leave the machine unattended while running or with the power “ON”. Don't leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

16.Always turn off and disconnect from power source before servicing or changing accessories, blades, bits, and cutters, or before performing any maintenance or adjustments.

17.Reduce the risk of unintentional start-up. Make sure that switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging in the power cord. Do not use the saw if the power switch is defected. Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service center.

18.Make sure saw is properly grounded. If equipped with a 3-prong plug it should be used with a threepole receptacle. Never remove the third prong. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, stoves, refrigerators).

19.Repairs to the saw should only be carried out by qualified people using original spare parts. A guard or other damaged part should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center.

20.Inspect power cords and extension wires periodically. If damaged, have them repaired by an authorized service facility. Never yank cords and wires and keep away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

21.This tool is for indoor use only.Do not expose to rain or use in wet or damp locations.

Additional Safety Instructions

Specific to this Scroll Saw

Because each shop situation is unique, no list of safety guidelines can ever be complete. The most important safety feature in any shop is the knowledge and good judgement of the user. Use common sense and always keep safety considerations, as they apply to your individual shop situation first and foremost in mind. If you have any doubts about the safety of an operation you are about to perform: STOP! Do not perform the operation until you have validated from qualified individuals

if the operation is safe to perform and what is the safest method to perform it.

1.Material hold-down must be properly set and remain in position during use.

2.Never reach under the table when operating or make any adjustments while the scroll saw is running.

3.Secure the saw to the work bench with clamps or mounting hardware.

4.Where possible, use clamps or a vice to secure your workpiece. It is safer than using your hand.

5.Do not lift or carry the saw by the upper arm.

6.Make sure blade tension is properly adjusted.

7.Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the saw blade. Do not place fingers or hands in the path of the saw blade.

8.When removing short workpieces, or cleaning up around the table, be sure that the switch is in the OFF position and that the blade has come to a complete stop.

9.Never turn the saw ON before making sure that the table is clear except for the workpiece and related feed or support devices for the operation planned.

10.Check for proper blade size and type.

11.Do not attempt to saw stock that does not have a flat surface unless a suitable support is used.

12.Turn off motor if the material resists being backed out of an incomplete cut. Use appropriate speed for applications.

13.CAUTION: Some wood contains preservatives such as copper chromium arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic. When cutting these materials, extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and to minimize skin contact.

14.Always use a dust mask and safety glasses when sawing. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

15.Keep guards in place and in working order.

16.Make sure your fingers do not contact the terminals of the power cord plug when plugging in or unplugging the saw.

17.Never overfeed or force work into the blade.

18.Check for alignment and binding of all moving parts, broken parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect the saw’s operation.

19.Keep handles dry and free from oil and grease.

20.MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing acces sories.

21.DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cut ter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.

TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK, ENSURE MACHINE IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. DO NOT OPERATE IN DAMP CONDITIONS. DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING. REPLACE FUSE WITH THE SAME TYPE AND RATING ONLY - 3 AMP.

BE SURE TO READ AND UNDERSTAND OWNER’S MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING.

A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the addapter illustrated in B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2 pole receptacle as shown in B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be insalled by a qualified electrician. This adapter is not permitted in Canada. The green-colored rigid ear, lug and the like, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.uter surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED.

If it will not fit your receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you do not completely understand these grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.

EXTENSION CORDS

USE ONLY 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS THAT HAVE 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUGS AND 3-POLE RECEPTACLES THAT ACCEPT THE TOOLS’ PLUG. REPAIR OR REPLACE A DAMAGED OR WORN POWER CORD OR PLUG IMMEDIATELY

If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with your machine make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the motor I.D. plate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The accompanying chart shows the correct size extension cord to be used based on cord length and motor I.D. plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the number the heavier the gauge.
