WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and
other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition. Conductor size should be in accordance with the chart below. The amperage
rating should be listed on the motor or tool
nameplate. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Your extension
cord must also contain a ground wire and
plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.
Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT
wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties,
rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which
may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip
footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also
use face or dust mask if cutting operation
is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses, they are NOT
safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to
hold work when practical. It’s safer than
using your hand and frees both hands to
operate tool.
13. DO NOT OVER-REACH. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep
tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

Safety Instructions For Power Tools
15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. On machines with magnetic
contact starting switches there is a risk of
starting if the machine is bumped or jarred.
Always disconnect from power source
before adjusting or servicing. Make sure
switch is in OFF position before reconnecting.
17. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further
use of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced.
18. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. DO NOT
leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
19. NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN
TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental alert-
ness is required at all times when running a
machine.
20. NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR
UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE
THE MACHINE. Make sure any instructions
you give in regards to machine operation are
approved, correct, safe, and clearly understood.
21. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES performing the intended
operation, stop using the machine! Then
contact our service department or ask a
qualified expert how the operation should be
performed.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.
Like all machines there is danger associated
with the Model G0537 Scroll Saw. Accidents
are frequently caused by lack of familiarity
or failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.
Additional Safety Instructions For Scroll Saws
1. SCROLL SAW SAFETY BEGINS with
your lumber. Inspect your stock carefully
before you begin a cut. If you have any
doubts about the stability or structural
integrity of your stock, DO NOT CUT!
2. KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM BLADE. DO
NOT hold pieces so small that your fingers
go under the blade guard. DO NOT reach
underneath work or in blade cutting path
with your hands or fingers for any reason.
3. AVOID POSITIONS where a slip could
cause your hand to go into the blade.
4. NEVER USE YOUR SCROLL SAW WITH
THE BLADE GUARD REMOVED.
5. WAIT UNTIL BLADE IS STOPPED before
clearing away cut-off pieces.
6. UNPLUG YOUR SCROLL SAW and
remove the safety switch key before
changing blades, adjustments, or performing maintenance.
7. USE BLADES APPROPRIATE FOR
YOUR MACHINE, material being cut, and
the type of cut that you are performing.
8. DO NOT START THE SAW WITH THE
BLADE IN CONTACT WITH THE WORKPIECE.
9. SUPPORT LARGE WORKPIECES to
reduce blade breakage and pinching.
10. FIRMLY SECURE YOUR SCROLL SAW
to a stable, level table or workbench using
clamps or bolts. The saw may move when
cutting large workpieces if not secured.
11. HABITS — GOOD AND BAD — ARE
HARD TO BREAK. Develop good habits in
your shop and safety will become secondnature to you.
12. PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO WOOD
DUST IS KNOWN TO CAUSE CANCER IN
HUMANS. Always wear an OSHA-
approved respirator when working in an
environment that could contain wood dust.

G0537 Scroll Saw
Amperage Draw
The Model G0537 motor is wired to operate at
110V and draw the following load:
Motor Load ..........................................1.4 Amps
Plug Type
The Model G0537 is supplied with a NEMA 5-15
plug. DO NOT modify the plug or power cord in
any way. See Figure 1 for a NEMA 5-15 plug and
grounded outlet.
Circuit Breaker Requirements
Use the following guidelines when choosing a circuit breaker for your machine:
Recommended Circuit Breaker ..............5 Amp
Your Circuit Capacity
Always check to see if the wires in your circuit are
capable of handling the amperage load from your
machine. If you are unsure, consult a qualified
electrician.
If you operate this machine on any circuit that is
already close to its capacity, it might blow a fuse
or trip a circuit breaker. However, if an unusual
load does not exist and a power failure still
occurs, contact a qualified electrician or our
Service Department at (570) 546-9663.
Serious personal injury could occur if you
connect your machine to the power source
before you have completed the assembly
process. DO NOT connect the machine to
the power source until instructed to do so.

SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
G0537 Scroll Saw -7-
In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance to disperse electric current. This tool is equipped with a power cord that
has an equipment-grounding prong. The outlet
must be properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Operation
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord :
• Make sure the cord is rated Standard Service
(grade S) or better.
• The extension cord must also contain a
ground wire and plug pin.
• Use at least a 16 gauge cord.
•DONOT use a cord longer that 100 feet!
This machine must have a ground prong in
the plug to help ensure that it is grounded.
DO NOT remove ground prong from plug to
fit into a two-pronged outlet! If the plug will
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Electrocution or a fire
can result if the machine
is not grounded correctly. Make sure all electrical circuits are grounded. DO NOT use the
machine if it is not
grounded.
No single list of electrical guidelines can
be comprehensive for all shop environments. Operating this machinery may
require additional electrical upgrades specific to your machine and shop environment. It is your responsibility to make sure
your electrical systems comply with all
local electrical codes and ordinances.
NOTICE
The wire on the power cord with green or
green and yellow striped insulation is the
grounding conductor.
