to move during certain operations, bolt your scroll saw stand
or workbench to the floor.

This scroll saw is intended for indoor use only.
8. Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears, Body
A. To avoid being pulled into the blade:
1. Roll long sleeves above elbows
2. Do not wear:
a. Gloves
b. Jewelry
c. Ties or other loose clothing
3. Tie back long hair
B. Do not cut pieces of material too srtiall to hold by hand
outside the blade guard.
C. Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip
could cause a hand to move into the blade.
D. To avoid slips due to lifting of the work piece make sure
the blade teeth point dcwnward toward the table.
E. To avoid blade breakage always adjust blade tension
correctly.
F. To avoid losing control of the work piece or tool:
1. When cutting a large piece of material make sure it
is fully supported at table height.
2. Hold the work piece firmly against the table.
3. Do not feed the material too fast while cutting. Only
feed the material fast enough so that the blade will
cut.
4. Use caution when cutting off material which is
irregular in cross section which could pinch the blade
before the cut is completed. A piece of molding, for
example, must fay flat on the table and not be per­
mitted to rock while being cut.
5. Use caution when cutting off round material such as
dowel rods, or tubing. They have a tendency to roll
white being cut causing the blade to bite. Use a V-
block to control the piece.
G. When backing the blade out of the workpiece, the blade
may bind in the kerf (cut)...this is usually caused by
sawdust clogging up the kerf. If this happens: Turn off
the scroll saw...remove plug from power source
outlet.. .wedge open the kerf... back the blade out of the
workpiece.
H. To avoid unsupervised work, use or accidents due to
inattention:
1. Never leave the scroll saw work area with the power
on, before the machine has come to a complete stop,
or without removing and storing the switch key.
2. Do not perform layout, assembly or set up work on
the table while the cutting tool is in operation.
3. Turn saw "OFF” and remove plug from power supply
outlet before installing or removing an accessory
attachment.
4. Never turn your scroll saw “ON" before clearing the
table of ail objects: (tools, scraps of wood, etc.) except
for the vrork piece and related feed or support
devices for the operation planned.
9. Should any part of this scroll saw be missing, bent, or fail
in any way, or any electrical component fail to perform
properly, shut off power switch and remove plug from power
supply outlet. Replace damaged, missing, and/or failed
