or workbench to the floor.

7. Location

This scroll saw is intended for indoor use only.

8. Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears, Body

A. To avoid being pulled into the blade:

1. Roll long sleeves above elbows

2. Do not wear:
a. Gloves

b. Jewelry
c. Ties or other loose clothing

3. Tie back long hair

B. Do not cut pieces of material too small to hold by hand

outside the blade guard.

C. Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip

could cause a hand to move intothe blade.

D. Toavoid slips due to lifting ofthe work piece make sure

the blade teeth point downward toward the table.

E. To avoid blade breakage always adjust blade tension

correctly.

F. To avoid losing control of the work piece or tool:

1. When cutting a large piece of material make sure it
is fully supported at table height.

2. Hold the work piece firmly against the table.

3. Do notfeed the material too fast while cutting. Only

feed the material fast enough so that the blade will
cut.

4. Use caution when cutting off material which is
irregular incross section which could pinch the blade
before the cut is completed. A piece of moiding, for

10.Think Safety.

The operation of any power tool can resuit in foreign objects
being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye
damage. Always wear safety goggles complying with ANSI

Z87.1 (shown on Package) before commencing power tool

operation. Safety goggles are available at Sears retail or

catalog stores.

example, must ray flat on the table and not be per-

mitted to rock while being cut.

5. Use caution when cutting off round material such as
dowel rods, or tubing. They have a tendency to roll
while being cut causing the blade to bite. Use a V-

block to control the piece.

G. When backing the blade out of the workpiece, the blade

may bind in the kerf (cut).,.this is usually caused by

sawdust clogging up the kerf. If this happens: Turn off
the scroll saw.. .remove plug from power source

outlet...wedge open the kerr.., back the blade out of the
workpiece.

H. To avoid unsupervised work, use or accidents due to

inattention:

t. Never leave the scroll saw work area with the power

on, before the machine has come to a complete stop,
or without removing and storing the switch key.

2. Do not perform layout, assembly or set up work on
the table while the cutting tool is in operation.

3. Turn saw "OFF" and remove plug from power supply
outlet before installing or removing an accessory

attachment.

4. Never turn your scrolt saw "ON" before clearing the
table of all objects: (tools, scraps of wood, etc.) except
for the work piece and related feed or support

devices for the operation planned.

in any way, or any electrical component fail to perform
properly, shut off power switch and remove plug from power
supply outlet. Replace damaged, missing, and/or failed
parts before resuming operation.

Safety is a combination of operator common sense and
alertness whenever the scroll saw is in operation.

OVERTENSIONI_NG or UNDERTENSIONING of the blade will
cause blades to break rapidly.

The thicker, harder and more abrasive the woodyou are cutting
the more blades you will have to use.

Blade breakage is caused by the following:

• overtension or undertension

• over working the blade by going too fast

• twisting or bending the blade

• over use-blade life exhausted

• OVER AGGRESSIVE FEEDING of the workpiece intothe

blade.

only,

10i: When choOsing a blade to use with your scroll saw con-

sider the following carefully.

= Very fine, narrow blades should be used to scroll cut

in thin wood 1/4inch thick or less.

• To cut wood over 1/4inch thick use wider blades.

• Most blade packages state the size or thicknessof wood
which that blade is intended to cut, and the radius, size
of curve, which can be cut with that blade.

• Wider blades can't cut curvesas t_ghtor small asthinner
blades.

• Narrower blades work well only on thinner wood
material.

This saw uses 5 inch long, pin end type blades only. See
your Sears Catalog or Retail Store for accessory blades.

Blades wear faster when cutting p_ywood, which is very
abrasive; when sawing wood which isthicker than the 3/_

attach an auxiiliary work surface to the saw if your needs

require.

2. Mounting an auxilliary table can allow you to build a Larger
support area to suit your project, and could render a
smoother work surface, as your needs require and an
