Grounding Instructions
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify plug provided—if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Figure A. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adapter, which looks the adapter illustrated in Figures B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

•WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
•ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
•DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
•MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest per- formance. Follow instructions for changing accessories.
•DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.
•REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position before plugging in.
•USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the instruction manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
•NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
•CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function–check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
•NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR SCROLL SAWS
•MATERIAL HOLD-DOWNmust be properly set according to these instructions and remain in position during use.
•NEVER reach under the table when operating or make any adjustments when it is running.
•SECURE saw to work bench or stand with clamps or mounting hardware. Secure work bench or stand to floor.
•DO NOT use the upper arm as a lifting point.
•MAKE SURE blade tension is properly adjusted.
•AVOID awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause a hand to move into a saw blade or cutting tool. DO NOT PLACE FINGERS OR HANDS IN PATH OF THE SAW BLADE.
•WHEN REMOVING short workpieces, or cleaning up around the table, be sure the saw is in the OFF position and blade has stopped moving.
•NEVER turn the saw ON before clearing the table of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except the workpiece and related feed or support devices for the operation planned.
•CHECK for proper blade size and type.
•DO NOT attempt to saw stock that does not have a flat surface, unless a suitable support is used.
•HOLD material firmly against table and feed into blade teeth at a moderate speed.
•TURN OFF motor if the material resists being backed out of an uncompleted cut. Use appropriate speed for applications.
•MAKE “relief” cuts before cutting long curves.
•USE a dust mask and safety glasses when sawing.
•KEEP GUARDS in place and working order.
•MAKE SURE your fingers do not contact the terminals of the power cord when installing or removing the plug to or from the line power source.
•NEVER overfeed or force work into the blade.
•
WARNING: Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of your saw) to replace following safety rules. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other repro- ductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•lead from lead-based paints,
•crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
•arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. (CCA)
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
