safety instructions

Safety is a combination of operator common sense and
alertness at all times when the scroll saw is being used.
WARNING:
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO OPERATE YOUR SCROLL SAW UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS,..
AND UNTIL YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND THE
FOLLOWING.

5. Stability of Machine.
Your scroll saw must be bolted securely to stand or
work bench, In addition, if there is any tendency for
the scroll saw to move during certain operations, bolt
your scroll saw stand or workbench to the floor.
6, Location
To avoid fire or explosions, never use this tool where
flammable vapors or gases are in the air. To avoid
injury from dropped unit, unplug saw before moving it.
This scroll saw is intended for indoor use only.
7. Protection: Eyes, Hands, Face, Ears, Body
A. To avoid being pulled into the blade:
1. Roll long sleeves above elbows
2. Do not wear:
a. Gloves
b. Jewelry
c. Ties or other loose clothing
3. Tie back long hair
ii,Ju=u

ensure that itwill operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced.

saw

B. Do not cut pieces of material too small to hold by
hand outside the blade guard/hold down.
C, Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden
slip could cause a hand to roove into the blade.
D. To avoid slips due to lifting of the work piece make
sure the blade teeth point downward toward the
table.
E. To avoid blade breakage always adjust blade
tension correctly.
F. To avoid losing control of the work piece or tool:
1. When cutting a large piece of material make
sure it is fully supported at table height.
2. Hold the work piece firmly against the table.
3. Do not feed the material too fast while cutting.
Only feed the material fast enough so that the
blade will cut.
4. Use caution when cutting off material which is
irregular in cross section and could pinch the
blade before the cut is completed. A piece of
molding, for example, must Iay flat on the table
and not be permitted to rock while being cut.
5. Use caution when cutting off round material
such as dowel rods, or tubing. They have a
tendency to roll while being cut causing the
btadeto bite. Use a V-blockto controlthe piece.
G. When backing the blade out of the workpiece, the
blade may bind in the kerr (cut).,. this is usually
caused by sawdust clogging up the keri, If this
happens: Turn off the scroll saw,., remove plug
from power source outlet,., wedge open the kerr
•.. back the blade out of the workpiece.
H. To avoid unsupervised work, use or accidents due
to inattention:
1, Never leave the scroll saw work area with the
power on, before the machine has come to a
complete stop.
2. Do not perform layout, assemb!y or set up work
on the tame while the cutting tool is in operation

or su

8, Should any part of this scroll saw bt
fail in any way, or any
perform properly, shut off
and remove
plug from power supply outlet. Replace damaged,
missing, and/or failed parts before resuming operation.
9. Think Safety.
Safety is a combination of operator common sense
and alertness wheneverthe scroll saw is in operation.

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY:
Read and understand

owner's

manuat before operating SCroll Saw.
B ALWAYS

The operation of any power tool ca_ result in foreign
objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in
severe eye damage.
Always wear safety goggles
complying with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on Package) before
commencing power tool operation. Safety goggles are

LOW VOLTAGE - Although the motor is designed
for operation on the voltage and frequency specified on the motor nameplate, normal loads will be
handled safely on voltages not. more than I0%
above or below the nameplate voltage. Heavy
loads, however, require that voltage at motor terminals equals the voltage specified on nameplate.

5. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or
incorrect connections, overload, reduced input voltage (such as small size wire in the supply circuit) or to
ovedy long supply circuit wire. Always check the
connections, t he load and the supply circuit whenever
motor fails to perform satisfactorily. Check wire size
and length with the "Wire Size Chart" betow.

PROTECTION

1. This tool should be connected to a 120V, t5 amp
branch circuit with a 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker.
Failure to use the proper size fuse can result in
damage to the motor.
2. If the motor fails to start, control knob should be
pushed down to "OFF" position immediately.
UNP LUG THE TOOL. Check the saw blade to make sure
it operates freely. If the blade is free, try to start the
motor again. If the motor still does not start, refer to
the "Motor Troubleshooting Chart."
3. If the motor suddenly stalls while cutting wood, turn
the power switch off, unplug the tool, and free the
blade from the wood. The motor may now be rest&rted and the cut finished.
4. Frequent "blowing" of fuses or tripping of circuit
breakers may result if:

WiRE SIZES
The use of any extension cord will cause some toss of
power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent
overheating and motor burn-out, use the table below to
determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension
cord. Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3prong grounding type plugs and 3-poIe receptacles
which accepts the tools plug.
CAUTION: For circuits that are farther away from
electrical service box, the wire size must be increased proportionately in order to deliver ample
voltage to the saw motor.

intended to cut wood or or material
similar to wood only:

10, When choosing a blade to use with your scroll saw,
consider the following carefully.

2 The blade teeth cut wood ONLY on the down stroke,
3. 'You must guide the wood into the blade slowly because the teeth of the blade are very small and they
can only remove wood when they are on the down
stroke.

Very fine, narrow blades should be used to scroll
cut in thin wood 1/4" thick or less.

4. There is a learning curve lor each person who wants
to use this saw. During that period of time, it is
expected that some blades wilt break until you learn
how to use the saw and receive the greatest benefit
from the blades.

Most blade packages state the size or thickness
of wood which that bmadeis intended to cut, and
the radius size of curve, which can be cut with
that blade.

To cut wood over 1/4" thick, use wider blades.

Wider blades can't cut curves as tight or small as
thinner blades.

5 Best resufts are achieved when cutting wood less
than one inch thick.

Narrower blades work well only on thinner wood
material.

6 When cutting wood thicker than one inch, the user
must guide the wood very, very slowly into the blade
and take extra care not to be nd or twist the blade while
cutting in order to maximize blade life.

i1. This saw uses 5" long plain end type blades only.
See your Sears Catalog or Retail Store for accessop,,'blades.

7, Teeth on scroll saw blades wear out and as such must
be replaced frequently for best cutting results. Scroll
