•
Pull out all nails in the material before starting to saw. Cutting nails may damage
your tool.
•
Do not operate your scroll saw until it is completely assembled and installed
according to the instructions and until you have read and understood all of the
instructions.
•
Do not touch moving parts with your fingers or hands.
•
Ensure that you have tightened the blade prior to starting the machine.
•
When finishing sawing, wait until the saw blade has ceased moving prior to removing
it from the material.
•
Do not touch the saw blade immediately after use. Allow time for the blade to cool,
otherwise it could burn you due to the heat generated during sawing.
•
Always check accessories to ensure that they are suitable for the operating speeds of
this tool.
•
Incorrect accessories can break apart at high speed and cause serious damage or
personal injury.
•
Never turn your scroll saw on before clearing the table of all objects (tools, scraps of
wood, etc.) except for the workpiece.
•
Hold the work firmly against the table.
•
Do not feed the material too fast while cutting. Only feed the material fast enough so
that the blade will cut.
•
Never leave the scroll saw running unattended. Always turn the saw off, make sure
that it has come to a complete stop, and then remove plug from the power supply
before leaving the work area.
•
Use caution when cutting off material which is irregular in cross section as it could
pinch the blade before the cut is completed. A piece of moulding, for example, must
lay flat on the table and not be permitted to rock whilst being cut.
