RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM
OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth
when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, or any solvents to
clean tool.
A LARGE PIECE OF MATERIAL SHOULD BE
SUPPORTED while cutting. To minimize risk of
blade pinching and kickback, always support
long workpieces. Saw may slip, walk or slide
while cutting long or heavy boards.
BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL
ADJUSTMENTS ARE SECURE.
• BEFORE CHANGING THE SETUP, REMOVING
COVERS, GUARDS OR BLADE, UNPLUG THE
SAW.
DO NOT FEED THE MATERIAL TOO QUICKLY
while cutting. Do not force the workpiece against
the blade.
NEVER CUT MORE THAN ONE WORKPIECE
AT A TIME. If making a stacked cut, all of the
pieces must be secured to each other with
masking tape or double stick tape to make one
workpiece. Do not put more than one workpiece
on the saw table at a time. Always hold the work
firmly against the table. See page 18.
AVOID CUTTING NAILS. Inspect for and
remove all nails from lumber before cutting.
NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY, OR
SETUP WORK ON THE TABLE while the
cutting tool is operating.
NEVER TOUCH BLADE or other moving parts
during use.
NEVER START A TOOL WHEN THE BLADE IS
IN CONTACT WITH THE WORKPIECE. Clear
the table of debris before turning your scrollsaw
on.
ALLOW THE MOTOR TO COME UP TO FULL
SPEED before starting a cut.
FIRMLY CLAMP OR BOLT your scroll saw to a
firm, level workbench or table. The most comfort-
able saw table height is at approximateFy hip
height.
• AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND
POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause
your hand to move into the blade. ALWAYS
make sure you have good balance. Do not cut
pieces of material that are too small to hold
comfortablyin your hand.
• REPLACEMENT PARTS. All repairs, whether
electrical or mechanical, should be made by
qualified service technician at a Sears store or
repair center.
_i, WARNING: When servicing use only identical
Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other
parts may create a hazard or cause product
damage.
• NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMO-
SPHERE. Normal sparkingof the motor could
ignite fumes.
• DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UN-
DER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL,
OR ANY MEDICATION.
STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL.
Watch what you are doing and use common
sense. Do not operate tool when you _'e tired.
Do not rush.
MAKE SURE THE WORK AREA HAS AMPLE
LIGHTING to see the work and that no obstruc-
tionswill interfere with safe operation BEFORE
performingany work using your saw.
ALWAYS TURN OFF SAW before disconnecting
it, to avoid accidental starting when reconnecting
to power supply. NEVER leave the scroll saw
unattended while connected to a power source.
_L WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with your
saw make you careless. Remember that a
careless fraction of a second is sufficientto inflict
severe injury.
