Instruction Manual Before Operating Scroll Saw

Safety Instructions For Power Tools

These safety rules cannot cover every situation in a work shop. Consider your conditions when setting up or operating your scroll saw.

SECTION 1: SAFETY

a) Always wear eye protection.

b) Always keep guards in place and in proper

operating condition.

c) Do not cut pieces too small to hold by hand.

d) Make sure the blade teeth point downward

toward the table.

7. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job bet-

ter and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

8. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or

attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make

sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure it is rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. Conductor size must be 16 A.W.G. for cords up to 100 feet in length. 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 gage for extension cord:

16 A.W.G. 50ft 16 A.W.G. 100ft 14 A.W.G. 200ft 12 A.W.G. 300ft

1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working

order.

2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see

that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning on.

3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered

areas and benches invite accidents.

4. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or

wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

5. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY.

All children and visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.

6. MAKE WORK SHOP CHILD PROOF with

padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

Additional Safety Instructions For Scroll Saws

16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off posi-

tion before plugging in.

17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.

18. 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.

19. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a

blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.

20. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-

TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave

tool until it comes to a complete stop.

6. Feed stock into the blade using a slow,

steady, even pressure.

7. Keep workpiece firmly against the table.

8. Wait until all motion is stopped before clear-

ing cutoff pieces away from the blade.

9. Habits are hard to break, good and bad.

Develop good habits and safety will become second nature to you.

1. Make sure saw teeth are pointed down

toward the table.

2. Maintain proper blade tension.

3. When making adjustments, keep power off

and the power cord unplugged.

4. To test adjustments, rotate the Rocker Arm

slowly by hand. Never assume an adjustment is correct and then turn the power on.

5. Adjust Hold-down Foot so it barely touches

your workpiece.

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. DON’T OVERREACH. 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.

15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and

changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.

Figure 1.

Improper connections of the electrical-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with green or green and yellow striped insulation is the electrical-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.

Under no circumstances should the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Check with a qualified electrician or one of our service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-hole receptacles that accept

the tool’s plug. FIgure 1.

Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

110V Operation

Your G1060 22'' Scroll Saw is prewired for 110 volt, single phase operation. The

⁄8'' H.P. motor draws approximately 2.2 amps. We strongly recommend fusing your Scroll Saw at 15 amps. Fusing higher will not adequately protect the motor.

Although the G1060 22'' Scroll Saw does not draw a large load, if you’re using a circuit that is already close to capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. If an unusual load does not exist and power failure still occurs, have the circuit inspected by a qualified electrician.

CAUTION: Be sure that your particular electrical

configuration complies with local and state codes. The best way to ensure compliance is to check with your local municipality or licensed electrician.

Grounding

CAUTION: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED

WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. 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.
