Additional safety instructions for
scroll saws
31. Scroll saw must be secured to a sturdy
foundation. If there is a tendency for the stand
or workbench to move, it must also be secured
to the floor.
32. Blade must be properly tensioned before
operating. Failure to do so could result in blade
breakage and possible injury.
33. Never start saw with workpiece contacting
blade.
34. Always keep fingers and hands away from
blade. Avoid awkward hand positions where a
sudden slip might cause hand to move into or
toward the blade.
35. Always hold stock firmly against table. The
provided hold-down should be correctly
positioned over the workpiece.
36. Do not attempt to saw any stock that does not
have a flat surface, without a suitable support.
Do not cut pieces of material too small to hold
by hand.
37. Care must be taken when cutting material with
an irregular cross section. The blade could
pinch before the cut is completed. Any stock,
such as frame molding, must lie flat on the table
surface and not be allowed to rock.
38. Dowels or tubing have a tendency to roll while
being cut and cause the blade to “bite.” Round
material should be held firmly against the table.
39. Turn off saw before backing stock out of an
incomplete cut. Only remove jammed cut-off
pieces after blade has stopped.
40. Make “relief” cuts before cutting long curves.
41. When cutting large or oversize stock, always
make sure material is supported at table height.
42. Do not feed workpiece too fast while cutting.
Feed workpiece only fast enough for the blade
to cut.
43. Never reach under the table while blade is
moving.
