I.Should any part of this scroll saw be missing, bent, or fail in any way, or any electrical component fail to perform properly, shut off power switch and remove plug from power supply outlet. Replace damaged, missing, andor failed parts before resuming operation.

2.Think Safety

Safety is a combination of operator common sense and alertness whenever the scroll saw is in operation.

3.Stability of Tool

Your scroll saw must be bolted securely to stand or work bench. In addition, if there is any tendency for the scroll saw to move during certain operations, bolt your scroll saw stand or workbench to the floor.

4.Location

To avoid fire or explosions, never use this tool where flammable vapors or gases are in the air. To avoid injury from dropped unit, unplug saw before moving it. This scroll saw is intended for indoor use only.

5.Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face Ears, and Body

A.To avoid being pulled into the blade: Roll long sleeves above elbows

*Do not wear gloves, jewelry, ties or other loose clothing.

Tie back long hair

6. Do not cut pieces of material too small to hold by hand outside the blade guard/hold down.

C. Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause a hand to move into the blade.

D. To avoid slips due to lifting of the work piece make sure the blade teeth point downward toward the table.

E.To avoid blade breakage always adjust blade tension correctly.

F.To avoid losing control of the workpiece or tool:

When cutting a large piece of material make sure it is fully supported at table height.

Hold the workpiece 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.

*Use caution when cutting off material which is irregular in cross section and could pinch the blade before the cut is completed. A piece of molding, for example, must lay flat on the table and not be permittedto 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. Use a V- block to control the piece.

G.When backing the blade out of the workpiece, the blade may bind in the kerf (cut) ..this is usually caused by sawdust clogging up the kerf. If this happens: Turn off the scroll saw .. remove plug from power source outlet ... wedge open the kerf ... back the blade out of the workpiece.

H.To avoid unsupervised use or accidents due to in- attention.

Never leave the scroll saw work area with the power

on, before the tool has come to a complete stop. *Do not perform layout, assembly or set up work on

the table while the cutting tool is in operation.

*Turn saw "OFF" and remove plug from power supply outlet before installing or removing an accessory attachment.

Never turn your scroll saw "ON" before clearing the table of all objects: (tools, scraps of wood, etc.) except for the work piece and related feed or support devices for the operation planned.
