h) Use ear protectors.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
4. Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation.
If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use
of the power tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles do not allow for safe handling and control of
the tools in unexpected situations.
5. Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b) In case of consuming of the carbon brushes to send the
tool by assistance authorized technique for substitution.
Carbon brushes are of specify them cause damages to the
motor of the tool.
Additional Safety Rules for Scroll Saws
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
For your own safety, do not operate your scroll saw
until it is completely assembled and installed accord-
ing to the instructions...and until you have read and
understood the following:
1. General Safety Rules .............................................................. 2-4
2. Motor Specifications and Electrical Requirements .................6
3. Getting to Know Your Scroll Saw................................................9
4. Operating Adjustments ...................................................... 10-13
5. Basic Scroll Saw Operations ............................................. 14-16
6. Maintaining Your Scroll Saw .....................................................17
7. Troubleshooting .........................................................................17
8. Stability of saw
Your Scroll Saw must be bolted securely to a stand or workbench.
In addition, if there is any tendency for the Scroll Saw to tip over or
move during certain operations, such as cutting long, heavy boards,
bolt your Scroll Saw stand or workbench to the floor.
9. Location
This Scroll Saw is intended for indoor use only.
10. Protection: eyes, hands, face, ears and body.
Wear safety goggles.
To avoid being pulled into the blade:
Do not wear
loose fitting gloves, necktie, loose clothing, jewelry.
Tie back long hair, roll long sleeves above elbows.
a.
If any part of your saw is missing, malfunctioning, has been dam-
aged or broken . . . such as the motor switch, or other operating
control, a safety device or the power cord...cease operating imme-
diately until the particular part is properly repaired or replaced.
b.
Do not cut piece too small to hold by hand.
Hint: When making a very small cut out, always secure the
workpiece to a scrap piece of plywood with double-faced tape.
This way, the work is supported and your fingers are away
from the blade.
c.
Never turn your Scroll Saw on before clearing the table of all
objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.) except for the workpiece
and related feed or support devices for the operation planned.
d.
Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could
cause a hand to move into the blade.
•
Always adjust the drop foot to just clear the workpiece to
protect the operator, keep blade breakage to a minimum and
provide maximum support for blade.
•
Always adjust blade tension correctly.
•
The Scroll Saw should cut on the down stroke.Always make
sure blade teeth are oriented downward toward table.
•
When cutting a large piece of material, make sure it is sup-
ported at table height.
•
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. Keep fingers
away from the blade.
•
Use caution when cutting off material which is irregular in
cross section, it could pinch the blade before the cut is com-
pleted. A piece of molding, for example, must lay flat on the
table and not be permitted to rock while being cut.
•
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”.
e.
Never leave the Scroll Saw running unattended. Turn the saw
off, make sure the saw has come to a complete stop, and then
remove plug from power supply before leaving the work area.
f.
Do not perform layout, assembly or setup work on the table
while the cutting tool is operating.
g.
Turn saw off and remove plug from power supply outlet before
installing or removing an accessory or attachment.
h.
Access Door must be closed before operation.
i.
Quick Release Tension Lever should be in down position
before operating.
11. Think safety
Safety is a combination of operator common sense and alert-
ness at all times when the scroll saw is being used.
Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of your Scroll Saw)
to become commonplace. Always remember that a careless fraction
of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
Warning! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and otherconstruction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•
Lead from lead-based paints,
•
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
•
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equip-
ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
