Specific Safety Rules; Additional Safety Rules - Dremel ScrollStation 1830 Owner's Manual

ScrollStation™
Always disconnect the power cord from the power
source before making any adjustments or attaching any
accessories. Always turn off saw before disconnecting it
to avoid accidental starting when reconnecting to a
power source. You may unexpectedly cause the tool to start
leading to serious personal injury.
Never leave tool running unattended. Turn power off.
Don't leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
Never leave the switches in "ON" position. Before plug-
ging the tool in, check that the switches are "OFF".
Accidental start-ups could cause injury.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off. Have
broken switches replaced by an authorized service center.
Use only Dremel ScrollStation blades. Use the right blade
size, style and cutting speed for the material and the type of
cut. Sharp blades minimize stalling and kickbacks. Blade
teeth should point down toward the table.
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions and
always make sure you have good balance. A sudden slip
could cause your hand to move into the blade.
Firmly clamp or bolt your saw station to a stable, level
workbench or table. The most comfortable table height is
approximately waist height.
Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is
tipped or if the blade is unintentionally contacted.
Before making a cut, be sure all adjustments are secure.
Loose table or guards could shift in use and cause you to
loose control of the workpiece.

Additional Safety Rules

Tool Use
DON'T FORCE TOOL
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL
Don't force a small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy
duty tool. Don't use tool for purpose not intended—for exam-
ple, don't use a circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
SECURE WORK
Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It's safer
than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the
tool.

Specific Safety Rules

Always adjust drop foot to just clear the workpiece.
Proper adjustment of the drop foot will help protect your fin-
gers and keep blade breakage to a minimum.
Always support large workpieces while cutting to mini-
mize risk of blade pinching and kickback. Heavy work-
piece may cause the table to slip, walk or slide while cutting.
Be sure the blade path is free of nails. Inspect for and
remove nails from lumber or workpiece before cutting or
sanding.
Keep hands away from cutting area. Do not hand hold
pieces so small that your fingers go under the blade guard.
Do not reach underneath work or in blade cutting path with
your hands and fingers for any reason.
Never start the tool when the blade is in contact with the
workpiece. Allow the motor to come up to full speed
before starting a cut. Blade in contact with the workpiece
on start up will cause it to jump.
Observe and follow correct direction of feed and do not
feed the material too quickly.
against the table. Feed work into a blade against the teeth
of the blade. Feeding material too forcefully may cause blade
to snap.
Use caution when cutting materials with an irregular
cross-section or rounds like dowel rods. If possible lay
the material on its "flat" side when cutting. For round
stock use a "Vee" block to support the material. Wavy
material like molding will tend to rock and may bind while cut-
ting. Rounds will tend to roll while being cut and the blade
may "bite" and grab it from your control.
Do not remove jammed cutoff pieces until blade has
stopped. Never touch blade or other moving parts dur-
ing use. Contacting the blade or other moving mechanism
may cause injury.
NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED
Turn power off. Don't leave tool until it comes to a complete
stop.
Tool Care
DO NOT ALTER OR MISUSE TOOL
These tools are precision built. Any alteration or modification
not specified is misuse and may result in dangerous condi-
tions.
AVOID GASEOUS AREAS
Do not operate electric tools in a gaseous or explosive atmo-
sphere. Motors in these tools normally spark, and may result
in a dangerous condition.
