ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR

SCROLL SAWS

19. DO NOT feed the material too fast while cutting.

Only feed the material fast enough so that the blade will

cut.

20. NEVER start the tool with the stock pressed against

the blade.

21. WHEN cutting a large workpiece, MAKE SURE the

material is supported at table height.

22. USE CAUTION when cutting material which is

irregular in cross section which could pinch the blade

before the cut is completed. A piece of moulding for ex-

ample must lay flat on the table and not be permitted to

rock while being cut.

23. USE CAUTION when cutting round material such as

dowel rods or tubing. They have a tendency to roll while

being cut causing the blade to “bite.” Use a V-block to

control the piece.

24. ALWAYS release blade tension before loosening the

blade holder screw.

25. MAKE CERTAIN table tilting lock is tightened before

starting the machine.

26. NEVER reach under the table while the machine is

running.

27. NEVER perform layout, assembly or set-up work on

the table while the saw is operating.

28. ALWAYS ALLOW the saw to stop before removing

scrap pieces from the table.

29. WHEN THE TOOL IS NOT IN USE, the switch

should be locked in the “OFF” position to prevent

unauthorized use.

30. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION regarding the safe

and proper operation of this product is available from the

National Safety Council, 1121 Spring Lake Drive, Itasca,

IL 60143-3201, in the Accident Prevention Manual for

Industrial Operations and also in the Safety Data Sheets

provided by the NSC. Please also refer to the American

National Standards Institute ANSI 01.1 Safety Require-

ments for Woodworking Machinery and the U.S. Depart-

ment of Labor OSHA 1910.213 Regulations.

1. WARNING: Do not operate your tool until it

is completely assembled and installed according to the

instructions.

2. IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the oper-

ation of Scroll Saws, obtain advice from your supervisor,

instructor or other qualified person.

3. YOUR TOOL MUST be securely fastened to a stand

or workbench. If there is any tendency for the stand or

workbench to move during operation, the stand or

workbench MUST be fastened to the floor.

4. THIS TOOL is intended for indoor

use only.

5. MAKE SURE blade is properly tensioned before

operating saw.

6. TO AVOID blade breakage ALWAYS adjust blade

tension correctly.

7. MAKE SURE the blade teeth point downward toward

the table.

8. NEVER turn the saw “ON” before clearing the table

of all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.).

9. DO NOT cut material that is too small to be safely

supported.

10. AVOID awkward hand positions where a sudden slip

could cause a hand to move into the blade.

11. ALWAYS keep hands and fingers away from blade.

12. ALWAYS adjust holddown foot for each new

operation.

13. DO NOT USE dull or bent blades.

14. DO NOT attempt to saw material that does not have

a flat surface, unless a suitable support is used.

15. MAKE “relief” cuts before cutting long curves.

16. NEVER attempt to cut a curve that is too tight for the

blade being used.

17. WHEN backing a blade out of a workpiece, the blade

may bind in the saw kerf. This is usually caused by

sawdust in the kerf. If this happens, turn “OFF” the

switch and remove plug from power source outlet. Dis-

conect the blade from the upper blade clamp and

remove the workpiece.

18. ALWAYS hold the work firmly against the table.
