Additional Safety Rules

c. Never turn your Scroll Saw on before clearing the table of all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.) except for the workpiece and related feed or support devices for the operation planned.

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

ALWAYS adjust the drop foot to just clear the work- piece to protect the operator, keep blade breakage to a minimum and provide maximum support for blade.

Always adjust blade tension correctly.

The Scroll Saw should cut on the down stroke. Always make sure blade teeth are oriented down- ward toward table.

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

Hold the work 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. Keep fingers away from the blade.

Use caution when cutting off material which is irreg- ular in cross section‚ it could pinch the blade before the cut is completed. A piece of molding, for exam- ple, must lay flat on the table and not be permitted to 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”.

e. Never leave the Scroll Saw running unattended. Turn the saw OFF, make sure the saw has come to a complete stop, and then remove plug from power sup- ply before leaving the work area.

f. Do not perform layout, assembly or setup work on the table while the cutting tool is operating.

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

h. Access Door must be closed before operation.

i. Quick Release Tension Lever should be in down position before operating.

!11. THINK SAFETY

WARNING SAFETY IS A COMBINATION OF OPERATOR COMMON SENSE AND ALERTNESS AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE SCROLL SAW IS BEING USED.

Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of your Scroll Saw) to become commonplace. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is suf- ficient to inflict severe injury.

The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage.

Always wear safety goggles that comply with ANSI Z87.1 before

commencing power tool operation.

!Some dust created by power sanding, WARNING sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive 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 lum- ber.

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.

NOTE AND FOLLOW THE SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS THAT APPEAR
