tab or terminal on the side of the adapter must be
securely connected to a permanent electrical ground
such as a properly grounded water pipe, a properly
grounded outlet box or a properly grounded wire system.
Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes
are not properly grounded. To ensure proper ground,
grounding means must be tested by a qualified electri-
cian.
EXTENSION CORDS
• The use of any extension cord will cause some drop
in voltage and loss of power.
• Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size
to carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.
• Use the table to determine the minimum wire size
(A.W.G.) extension cord.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which
accept the tool plug.
• If the extension cord is worn, cut or damaged in any
way, replace immediately.
EXTENSION CORD LENGTH
Wire Size A.W.G.
Up to 50 ft .................................. 16
NOTE: Using extension cords over 50 ft. long is not
recommended.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: All electrical connections must be per-
formed by a qualified electrician. Make sure tool is off
and disconnected from power source while motor is
mounted, connected, reconnected or anytime wiring is
inspected.
Motor and wires are installed as shown in wiring
schematic (see Figure 7). Motor is assembled with
approved, 3-conductor cord to be used at 120 volts.

The green ground line must remain securely fastened
to the frame to properly protect against electrical shock.
The power supply to the motor is controlled by a single
pole locking rocker switch.
• Remove the key to prevent unauthorized use.
Refer to Figures 8 - 17, pages 6-8.
The Craftsman 16" Tilting Arm Scroll Saw features alu-
minum frame construction, built-in dust collection and a
constant power mechanical variable speed control sys-
tem. It is designed for cutting hard and soft woods, as
well as nonferrous metals and plastics. Arm of the saw
tilts from 90 ° to 45 ° while the table remains in horizontal
position for straight line feeding of the material. The
built-in motor driven, dust collection system helps to
keep the workpiece clean from both above and below
the worksurface. Sawdust is deposited into a detach-
able 30 micron filter bag for convenient disposal. A con-
venient quick tensioning mechanism makes blade
changing quick and easy.

SAFETY RULES FOR SCROLL SAWS
WARNING: For your own safety, read all of the
instructions and precautions before operating tool.
WARNING: Operation of any power tool can result in
foreign objects being thrown into eyes which can result
in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles
complying with United States ANSI 287.1 (shown on
package) before commencing power tool operation.
CAUTION: Always observe the following safety
precautions:
• Know general power tool safety. Make sure all pre-
cautions are understood (see pages 2-3).
• Make sure scroll saw is securely fastened to a work-
bench, worktable or stand.
• Use scroll saw in a dry location only.
• Make sure blade is properly installed before using
saw.
• Make sure blade teeth point downward towards the
table.
• Always keep hands and fingers away from blade.
• Never use dull or bent blades.
• Always adjust holddown properly for each workpiece.
• Always clear table of objects (tools; scrap pieces)
before turning saw ON.
• Never cut material that is too small to be held safely.
• Always hold workpiece firmly on table.
• Always make sure that large workpieces are com-
pletely supported.
• Make sure that arm tilting handle is locked before
using saw.
