24. WARNING: Dust generated from certain materials can
be injurious to your health. Always operate saw in well
ventilated areas and provide for proper dust removal.

FOR THE SCROLL SAW
17.
DO NOT USE dull or bent blades.
TURN THE SAW OFF AND UNPLUG THE CORD if
the blade binds in the saw kerf while being backed
out of the workplace, usually caused by sawd0st
clogging the kerf. If this happens, turn off the scroll
saw and unplug the power cord. Wedge open the
kerf and back the blade out of the workplace.
DO NOT feed the material too fast while cutting. Only
feed the workplace at the rate the saw will cut.

READ AND UNDERSTAND all safety instructions
and operating procedures throughout the manual.
DO NOT operate the scroll saw until it is completely
assembled and installed according to 'theinstructions.
SHOULD any part of your scroll saw be missing,
damaged, or fail in any way, or any electrical component
fail to perform properly, shut off the switch and remove
the plug from the power supply outlet. Replace missing,
damaged, or failed parts before resuming operation.

TURN THE POWER OFF, remove the switch key and
make Sure the scroll saw comes to a compiete stop
before installing or removing an accessory, and
before leaving the work area.
DO NOT START the saw with workplace pressing
against the blade. Slowly feed the workplace into the
moving blade.
WHEN CUTTING a targe workpiece MAKE SURE
the material is supported at table height.
.
IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the
operation of scroll saws, obtain advice from your
supervisor, instructor, or other qualified person.
21. EXERCISE CAUTION when cutting workpieces that
are round or irregularly shaped. Round items will roll
and irregularly shaped workpieces can pinch the blade.

SERIOUS INJURY could occur if the tool tips over or
you accidentally hit the cutting to0t. Do not store
anything above or near the tool.
AVOID INJURY from unexpected saw movement.
Place the saw on a fir m level surface where thesaw
does not rock, and bolt or clamp the saw to its support..
YOUR SCROLL SAW MUST BE SECURELY
FASTENED to a stand or workbench. !f there is any
tendency for the stand or workbench to move during
operation, the stand or workbench MUST be fastened
to the floor.
THiS SCROLL SAW is intended for indoor use only.
22. ALWAYS release blade tension before loosening the
blade holder screw.
23. MAKE CERTAIN table tilting lock is tightened before
starting the machine.
24. NEVER REACH under the scroll Saw table when
motor is running.
25. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS before each use.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting or any
other conditions that may affect operation, Parts that
are damaged should be properly repaired or
reptaced before using the toot.

TENSION BLADE PROPERLY before starting the
saw. Recheck and adjust tension as needed.
BLADE TEETH MUST POINT downward toward the
table.
. TABLE MUST BE CLEARED of all debris before
operating saw. Do not perform layout, set up or
assemble work on the table when the saw is in
operation.
TO PREVENT INJURIES, avoid awkward hand or
finger positions, where a sudden slip could cause a
hand to move into the blade when operating the saw.
HOLD WORKPIECE FIRMLY against the table top.
NEVER CUT MATERIAL that is too small to be held

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR
SPECIFICATIONS
To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to
the tool, use proper circuit protection. Use a separate
electrical circuit for your tools.Your saw is wired at the
factory for 120V operation. Connect to a 120V, 15 Amp
circuit and use a 15 Amp time delay fuse or circuit
breaker. To avoid shock or fire, if power cord is worn or
cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced
immediately.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool
is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment
grounding conductor and a grounding plug: The plug
MUST be plugged into a matching receptacle that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL
local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFYTHE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not
fit the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed
by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in risk d electric shock. The
conductor with the green insulation (with or without
yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor, if
repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, DO NOT connect the.equipment grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if
you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly
grounded.
USE A SEPARATE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT for your
tools. This circuit must not be less than #12 wire and
should be protected with a 15 Amp time delay fuse.
Before connecting the motor to the power line, make
sure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric
current is rated the same as the current stamped on the
motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will
damage the motor.
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has a
receptacle like the one illustrated in FIGURE A. FIGURE
A shows a 3-prong electrical plug and receptacle that has
a grounding conductor. If a properly grounded.receptacle
is not available, an adapter (FIGUREB) can be.used to
temporarily connect this plug to a 2-contact ungrounded
receptacle. The temporary adapter should be used only
until a properly grounded receptacle can be installed by
a qualified technician. The adapter (FIGURE B) has a
rigid lug extending from it that MUST be connected to a
permanent earth ground, such as aproperly grounded
receptacle box. The Canadian Electrical Code prohibits
the use of adapters.
-CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the receptacle is
properly grounded. If you are not sure have a qualified
electrician check the receptacle.
This scroll saw is for indoor use only. Do not expose to
rain or use in damp locations.

Receptacle
USE ONLY 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn
cord immediately.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one t_eavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will
result in a drop in line voltage and in loss of power which
will cause the tool to overheat. The table below shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the
cord.

Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in
good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord
or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the
operator from electrical shock.
