SPECIFIC RULES FOR THE SCROLL SAW
- Carry the scroll saw by its base. Do not move the scroll
saw by pulling on the power cord. Pulling on the power
cord could cause damage to the insulation or the wire
connections resulting in electric shock or fire.
WHEN OPERATING THE SCROLL SAW
1. To avoid injury from unexpected scroll saw movement:
- Use the scroll saw on a firm level surface with adequate
space for handling and supporting the work piece.
- Be sure the scroll saw cannot move when operated.
Secure the scroll saw to a workbench or table with wood
screws or bolts, washers and nuts.
2. Before moving the scroll saw, unplug the power cord from
the electrical outlet.
3. To avoid injury from kickback:
- Hold the work piece firmly against the tabletop.
- Do not feed the work piece too fast while cutting. Only
feed the work piece at the rate the saw will cut.
- Install the blade with the teeth pointing downward.
- Do not start the saw with the work piece pressing
against the blade. Slowly feed the work piece into the
moving blade.
- Use caution when cutting round or irregularly shaped
work pieces. Round items will roll and irregularly shaped
work pieces can pinch the blade.
4. To avoid injury when operating the scroll saw:
- Obtain advice from a qualified person if you’re not
thoroughly familiar with the operation of scroll saws.
- Before starting the saw, make sure the blade tension is
correct. Recheck and adjust tension as needed.
- Make sure the table is locked into position before
starting the saw.
- Do not use dull or bent blades.
- When cutting a large work piece, make sure the material
is supported at the table height.
- Turn the saw OFF and unplug the power cord if the blade
jams in the work piece. This condition is usually caused
by sawdust clogging the line you are cutting. Wedge
open the work piece and back out the blade after turning
off and unplugging the machine.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides the path of least resistance for an
electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This
tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST
be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and
ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit
the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a licensed
electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in electric shock. The conductor with the
green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the
equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the
equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you
do not completely understand the grounding instructions or
whether the tool is properly grounded.
USE ONLY THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS that have
three-pronged plugs and outlets that accept the tool’s plug
as shown in Fig. A. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately.
CAUTION
In all cases, make certain the outlet in
question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have
a licensed electrician check the outlet.
WARNING: This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to
rain or use in damp locations.

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The table below shows the correct size to be
used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating.
When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good
condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have
it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive
heat and damp/wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit
must not be less than a #12 wire and should be protected
with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor
to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF
position and the electric current is rated the same as the
current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a
lower voltage will damage the motor.
WARNING: This tool must be grounded while in use to pro-
tect the operator from electric shock.
