• Use this scroll saw to cut only wood, woodqike
products, plastics and nomferrous metals.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Check for:
• Alignment of moving parts.
• Binding of moving parts.

CAUTION:
This saw is NOT designed
for
cutting ferrous metals like iron or steel. When
cutting non-ferrous metals (brass, copper and
aluminum, etc.), metal shavings can react with
wood dust and start a fire. To avoid this:

• Broken pads.
• Stable mounting.
• Any other conditions that may affect the way
the saw works.
If any part is missing, bent or broken in any way,
or any electrical parts don't work properly, turn the
saw off and unplug the saw. REPLACE damaged,
missing or failed parts before using the saw again.
KEEP GUARD IN PLACE and in working order.

Disconnect any type of dust collecting
hose from the saw.

•

Remove all traces of wood dust
from on and around the saw.

•

Remove a,tl meta! shavings from on
or around the saw before sawing
wood again.

Any power saw can throw foreign objects into the
eyes. This can cause permanent eye damage. Wear
safety goggles (not gtasses)
that comply with

Make sure the blade tension is propedy adjusted.

Make sure the bevel lock knob is tight and no
parts have excessive play,

To avoid accidental blade contact, minimize blade
breakage and provide maximum blade support,
always adjust the blade hold down and blade
guard to just clear the workpiece.

• Wear nonstip footwear.

KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas
and benches invite accidents. Floor must not be
slippery.

• Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible
hearing damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when
using saw for hours at a lime.

•

Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or
jewelry (rings, wristwatches),
They can get
caught and draw you into moving parts.

• Tie back long hair.
•

Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

To avoid burns or other fire damage, never use the

FOR HOR|ZONTAL

1. The scroll saw work table can be tilted to the left
for
bevel cutting
up to 45 ° from the 0 ° or
horizontal cutting position.

2. A bevel scale is provided under the work table as
a convenient reference for setting the approximate
table angle for bevel cutting.
When greater precision is required, make practice
cuts and adjust the table as necessary for your
requirements.

2. Use a small square to set the table at 90 ° to the
blade. If there is too much space between the square
and the blade, the table must be adjusted.

3. When the space between the square and the
blade is minimal, tighten the bevel lock knob_ The
table should now be approximately 90 ° to the blade.

4. Loosen the screw holding the bevel

3. Look at the blade holders closely and notice the
blade slots and pin recesses in the blade holder. The
blade holder is made so you can position the blade for
cutting from the front or one side of the saw.
Cutting from the side of the saw will be necessary
when your workpiece exceeds 16 inches in length. For

Lightly spread apart the blade guard so pins will go

5. In order to cut, and to avoid uncontrollable lifting of
the workpiece, the teeth of the blades used on the
scroll saw should always point downward when installed
on the scroll saw.
6. Install the blade by inserting one end of the blade
through the slot in the blade guard, then the access
hole in the table, until you can hook the blade pin in the
pin recess in the bottom blade holder. Slide the top

Double check to see that pins are properly located in
the slots.
Then turn the tension knob an additional two full turns

This amount of blade tension should do well for most
cutting operations and blades.

NEVER use another person as a substitute for

When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan
your work so it will not pinch the blade. A piece of
molding, for example, must lay flat or be held by a
fixture or jig that will not let it twist, rock or slip while
being cut.

for safety.

Any power saw can throw foreign objects into the eyes.
This can cause permanent eye damage. Wear safety
goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI Z87.1
(shown on package). Everyday eyeglasses have only
impact resistant 0enses. They are not safety glasses.
Safety goggles are available at Sears Retail or Catalog
Stores. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI
Z87.1 could seriously hurt you when they break.

SECURE WORK Use clamps to hold work when
practical. It's often safer than using your hand and frees
both hands to operate the tool.
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a
sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move into
the blade.

DON'T OVERREACH.

Keep good footing and balance.

• Unplug saw.

Keep your face and body to one side of blade, out of line
with a possible thrown piece if the blade should break.

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Keep all visitors a safe
distance from the saw. Make sure bystanders are clear of
