WARNING
To avoid being pulled into the spinning tool –
DO NOT WEAR: Loose fitting gloves
Necktie
Loose
clothing
Jewelry
DO : Tie back long hair
Roll long sleeves above elbows
a. If any part of your saw is missing, malfunctioning, has been damaged or broken (such
as the motor switch or other operating control, a safety device, or the power cord) cease
operating immediately 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 supported 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 completed. 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 rod 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. Table insert must be mounted before operating.
i. Quick release tension lever should be in down position before operating.
