WARNING:
Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories
not recommended for use with this tool. Any such altera-
tion or modification is misuse and could result in a hazard-
ous condition leading to possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not connect to power supply until assembly is
complete. Failure to comply could result in accidental
starting and possible serious personal injury.
REDUCING NOISE AND VIBRATION
You may wish to place a foam pad or piece of carpet between
the saw base and the workbench to help reduce noise and
vibration.
If a foam pad or piece of carpet is used, do not overtighten
the mounting bolts. Leave some cushion between the padding
and the saw base to help absorb the noise and vibration.
The size of the padding material should be approximately
24 in. x 12 in. x 1/2 in.
MOUNTING SCROLL SAW TO WORKBENCH
If the scroll saw is to be used in a permanent application, we
recommend that you secure it in a permanent location such
as a workbench. When mounting the saw to a workbench,
holes should be drilled through the supporting surface of
the workbench.
Each hole in the base of the saw should be bolted securely
using machine bolts, washers, and nuts (not included). Bolts
should be of sufficient length to accommodate the saw base,
washers, nuts, and the thickness of the workbench.
Place scroll saw on workbench. Using the saw base as a
pattern, locate and mark the holes where the scroll saw
is to be mounted.
Drill four holes through the workbench.
Place scroll saw on workbench aligning holes in the saw
base with the holes drilled in the workbench.
Insert all four bolts (not included) and tighten securely
with washers and nuts (not included).
NOTE:
All bolts should be inserted from the top. Install the
washers and nuts from the underside of the bench.
Supporting surface where scroll saw is mounted should be
examined carefully after mounting to insure that no move-
ment during use can result. If any tipping or walking is noted,
secure workbench or supporting surface before beginning
cutting operations.
