SAFETY

READ and understand this entire manual before using this machine. Serious per- sonal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not under- stood and followed. DO NOT risk your safety by not reading!

Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. No list of safety guidelines can be complete—every shop environment is different. Failure to follow guidelines could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.

1.WORKPIECE CONDITION. 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 IT!

2.BLADE CONDITION. To reduce the risk of blade breakage and to ensure good results, always inspect the blade for cracks and missing teeth before each use. Do not use a damaged or badly worn blade.

3.HAND PLACEMENT. The blade can quickly cut through flesh and bone. Never position fingers or hands in the path of the cut. Always wait for the blade to come to a complete stop on its own before clearing away cut-off pieces.

4.WORKPIECE HANDLING. If the workpiece should slip while cutting, your hand could be drawn into the moving blade. Always firmly support the workpiece on the table. Use jigs or support fixtures for small workpieces or complicated cut patterns.

5.RELIEF CUTS. To avoid excessive twisting of the blade that could cause it to break and throw metal debris in all directions, use relief cuts for curve cuts that tend to twist the blade.

6.BLADE TENSION. Make sure that blade has the proper tension before connecting the saw to power. A loose blade could become loose and be thrown away from the machine. A blade that has too much tension could become overly stressed and break apart.

7.ATTENTION TO WORK AREA. Pay attention to the surrounding area when using the saw. Make sure bystanders are well away from the cutting operation and they are wearing safety glasses. Never leave the saw unattended when it is connected to power.

8.OBSTRUCTIONS. Plan and check your path of cut before starting the saw to avoid hitting an obstruction with the workpiece that could cause your hands to slip and contact the moving blade.

9.BLADE GUARD. The blade guard is designed to help keep your hands and fingers safe from the moving blade. Never operate this saw without the blade guard correctly and firmly installed as it was intended. Always keep the blade guard as close to the workpiece as possible without interfering with movement.

10.BLADE CONTACT. Starting the blade when it is in contact with the workpiece could cause blade breakage, or the workpiece to suddenly slip which could cause your hands to be drawn into the moving blade. Always wait for the blade to come to full speed before moving the workpiece into

it.
