Additional Safety Instructions For Scroll Saws
1.SCROLL SAW SAFETY BEGINS with your lumber. Inspect your stock carefully before you begin a cut. If you have any doubts about the stability or structural integrity of your stock, DO NOT CUT!
2.KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM BLADE. DO NOT hold pieces so small that your fingers go under the blade guard. DO NOT reach underneath work or in blade cutting path with your hands or fingers for any reason.
3.AVOID POSITIONS where a slip could cause your hand to go into the blade.
4.NEVER USE YOUR SCROLL SAW WITH THE BLADE GUARD REMOVED.
5.WAIT UNTIL BLADE IS STOPPED before clearing away
6.UNPLUG YOUR SCROLL SAW and remove the safety switch key before changing blades, adjustments, or perform- ing maintenance.
7.USE BLADES APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR MACHINE, material being cut, and the type of cut that you are performing.
8.DO NOT START THE SAW WITH THE BLADE IN CONTACT WITH THE WORK- PIECE.
9.SUPPORT LARGE WORKPIECES to reduce blade breakage and pinching.
10.FIRMLY SECURE YOUR SCROLL SAW to a stable, level table or workbench using clamps or bolts. The saw may move when cutting large workpieces if not secured.
11.HABITS — GOOD AND BAD — ARE HARD TO BREAK. Develop good habits in your shop and safety will become second- nature to you.
12.PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO WOOD DUST IS KNOWN TO CAUSE CANCER IN HUMANS. Always wear an OSHA- approved respirator when working in an environment that could contain wood dust.
