POWER TOOL SAFETY
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THIS POWER TOOL
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how to use your power tool.
! WARNING
To avoid mistakes that could cause serious injury, do not plug the tool in until you have read and understood the following.
1.READ and become familiar with the entire
Instruction Manual. LEARN the tool’s application, limitations and possible hazards.
2.KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
3.REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before turning ON.
4.KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
5.DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use power tools in damp locations, or expose them to rain or snow. Keep work area well lit.
6.KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors and bystanders should be kept a safe distance from work area.
7.MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.
8.DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
9.USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool or an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
10.USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will result in a drop in line voltage and in loss of power which will cause the tool to overheat. The table on page 6 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
11.WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
12.ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Any power tool can throw foreign objects into the eyes
and could cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (not glasses)
that comply with ANSI Safety standard Z87.1. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact– resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses. NOTE: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with
ANSI Z87.1 could seriously injure you when they break.
13.WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK. Sawing operation produces dust.
14.SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It is safer than
using your hand and it frees both hands to 
operate the tool.
15.DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER SOURCE before servicing, and when changing accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.
16.REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in the OFF position before plugging the tool in.
17.USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this Instruction Manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to yourself or others.
18.NEVER STAND ON THE TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
19.CHECK FOR 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.
20.NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN THE POWER “OFF”. Do not walk away from a running tool until the blade comes to a complete stop and the tool is unplugged from the power source.
21.DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
22.MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
23.DO NOT use power tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
24.DO NOT operate the tool if you are under the influence of any drugs, alcohol or medicationn that could affect your ability to use the tool properly.

5.SERIOUS INJURY could occur if the tool tips over or you accidentally hit the cutting tool. Do not store anything above or near the tool.
6.AVOID INJURY from unexpected saw movement. Place the saw on a firm level surface where the saw does not rock and bolt or clamp the saw to its support.
7.YOUR SCROLL SAW MUST BE SECURELY FASTENED to a stand or workbench. If there is any tendency for the stand or workbench to move during operation, the stand or workbench MUST be fastened to the floor.
8.THIS SCROLL SAW is intended for indoor use only.
9.TENSION BLADE PROPERLY before starting the saw. Recheck and adjust tension as needed.
10.BLADE TEETH MUST POINT downward toward the table.
11.TABLE MUST BE CLEARED of all debris before operating saw. Do not perform lay out, set up or assemble work on the table when the saw is in operation.
12.TO PREVENT INJURIES, avoid awkward hand or finger positions, where a sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the blade when operating the saw.
13.HOLD WORKPIECE FIRMLY against the table top.
14.NEVER CUT MATERIAL that is too small to be held safely.
15.DO NOT USE dull or bent blades.
16.TURN THE SAW OFF AND UNPLUG THE CORD if the blade binds in the saw kerf while being backed out of the workpiece, usually caused by sawdust clogging the kerf. If this happens, turn off the scroll saw and unplug the power cord. Wedge open the kerf and back the blade out of the workpiece.
17.DO NOT feed the material too fast while cutting. Only feed the workpiece at the rate the saw will cut.

ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY
POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
! WARNING
To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to the tool, use proper circuit protection. Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. Your tool is wired at the factory for 120V operation. Connect to a 120V, 1.6 Amp circuit and use a 1.6 Amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, if power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
! WARNING
This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock.
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric currents and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electrical cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electrical cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not certain the tool is properly grounded.
USE only 3-wire extension cords that have three-pronged grounding plugs with three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tool. This circuit must not be less than #18 wire and should be protected with a 1.6 Amp time lag fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the off position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power, overheating and burning out of the motor. The table below shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified technician before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
