CAUTION:
Some wood contains
preservatives
such as copper
chromium
arsenate
(CCA)
which can be toxic.
When cutting
these
materials,
extra
care should
be taken
to avoid
inhalation
and to
minimize
skin contact.
USE a dust mask and safety glasses
when sawing.
KEEP
GUARDS
in place and working orde_
MAKE
SURE your fingers do not contact
the terminals
of the power
cord when installing
or removing
the plug to or from the line power
source.
NEVER
overfeed
or force work into the blade.
Z_ WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity
(gained from frequent
use of
your saw) to replace
following
safety rules. Always
remember
that a
careless
fraction
of a second
is sufficient
to inflict severe
injury.
ZhWARNING:
Some dust created
by power sanding,
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
lumber
(CCA).
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.

Mounting
Three holes are provided in the base of the scroll saw to facilitate
mounting to a table or bench (Figure 1). Always mount your saw
firmly to prevent movement.

Assembly
Your scroll
saw
comes
fully
assembled
except
for the table
and
blade.
To install
the table,
first insert
the pin at the back of the arm
into the hole in the back of the table (Figure
2). Push the table
until its
back surface
is flush
against
the arm and the pin is fully inserted
in
the table
(Figure
3).
Using
the hex wrench
packed
with your
scroll
saw, securely
attach
the table to the bevel scale by tightening
the bolts shown
in Figure 4.
Installing
the Blade
BEFORE
INSTALLING
A BLADE,
UNPLUG
THE SCROLL
SAW.
The blade is held in place by the thumbscrew
blade
clamps
attached
to the top and bottom
arms
of the scroll saw (Figure
5).
Before
installing
a blade, make sure the blade tension
lever is moved
fully
to the right
as shown
in Figure
6. Next,
loosen,
but do not
unscrew,
the top and bottom
thumbscrews
(Figure
5). Thread
the
blade through
the hole in table, with the teeth
facing toward
the front
of the saw.
NOTE:
Scroll
saws
cut
on the downstroke,
so
it is
essential
that teeth
face forward
and down.
Insert
the blade
into the bottom
blade
clamp
and securely
tighten
