UNPACKING AND CLEANING

Your new scroll saw is shipped completely assembled in the carton. Carefully unpack the saw and all loose items. Remove the protective coating from the saw table surface. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene (do not use acetone, gasoline or lacquer thinner for this purpose). After cleaning, cover the table surface with a good quality paste wax. Buff out the wax thoroughly to prevent it from rubbing into your workpieces.

CONNECTING SCROLL SAW TO POWER SOURCE

POWER CONNECTIONS

A separate electrical circuit should be used for your tools. This circuit should be protected with a fuse or circuit breaker. Have a certified electrician replace or repair a worn cord immediately. Before connecting power, make sure the switch is in the “LOCKED OFF” position and the electric current is of the same characteristics as stamped on the nameplate. Running on low voltage will damage the motor.

WARNING: DO NOT EXPOSE THE TOOL TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE TOOL IN DAMP LOCATIONS.

MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

Your scroll saw is wired for 110-120 volt, 60 HZ current. Before connecting the saw to the power source, make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position.
