RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
mU_E THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When usingan extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resultingin'loss of power
and overheating. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at
least 18 is recommended for an extension cord
25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.
m
INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODI-
CALLY and replace if damaged.
DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other
jewelry. They can get caught and draw you into
moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonslip foot-
wear are recommended. Also wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH
SIDE SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only
impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety
glasses.
PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust
mask if the cutting operation is dusty.
PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing
protectionduring extended periods of operation.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work when practical. It's safer than usingyour
hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp and clean for better and safer perfor-
mance. Follow instructionsfor lubricatingand
changing accessories.
DISCONNECT ALL TOOLS. When not in use,
before servicing,or when changingattachments,
blades, bits, cutters, etc., all tools should be
disconnected from power supply.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Be sure
switch is off when pluggingin.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The
use of improper accessories may cause riskof
injury.
NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could
occur if the tool is tipped or if the blade is unin-
tentionallycontacted.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use
of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it
m
will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
bindingof movingparts, breakage of parts, saw
stability,mounting and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged must be properly repaired or
replaced by a qualified service technician at a
Sears store to avoid risk of personal injury.
DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade
or cutter against the direction of rotation of the
blade or cutter only.
NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-
TENDED. TURN THE POWER OFF. Do not
leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Use the right
blade size, style and cuttingspeed for the
material and the type of cut. Blade teeth should
pointdown toward the table. Sharp blades
minimize stalling and kickback. Correctly adjust
blade tension.
TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR and minimize
blade breakage, ALWAYS adjust the hold down
foot to just clear the workpiece. Never operate
the saw with any guard or cover removed. Make
sure all guards are operating properly before
each use.
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA.
Do not hand hold pieces so small that your
fingers go under the blade guard. Never reach
underneath work or behind, under, or within
three inches of the blade and its cutting path with
your hands and fingers for any reason. Do not
attempt to remove cut material when blade is
moving.
,_k WARNING: Blades coast after turn off.
AVOID PINCHING THE BLADE. Be cautious
when cuttingoff material which is irregularin
cross section. For example, molding must lay flat
on the table and not be permitted to rock.
DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never yank cord to
disconnect it from receptacle. Keep cord from
heat, oil, and sharp edges.
INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and if
damaged, have repaired by a qualified service
technician at a Sears store. Stay constantly
aware of cord location and keep it well away
from the rotating blade.
DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT
TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches
replaced by a qualified service technician at a
Sears store.
RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM
OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth
when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products,or any solvents to
clean tool
A LARGE PIECE OF MATERIAL SHOULD BE
SUPPORTED while cutting. To minimize riskof
blade pinching and kickback, always support
long workpieces. Saw may slip, walk or slide
while cutting long or heavy boards.
BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL
ADJUSTMENTS ARE SECURE.
BEFORE CHANGING THE SETUP, REMOVING
COVERS, GUARDS OR BLADE, UNPLUG THE
SAW, AND REMOVE THE SWITCH KEY.
DO NOT FEED THE MATERIAL TOO QUICKLY
while cutting. Do not force the workpiece against
the blade.
NEVER CUT MORE THAN ONE WORKPIECE
AT A TIME. If making a stacked cut, all of the
pieces must be secured to each other with
masking tape or double stick tape to make one
workpiece. Do not put more than one workpiece
on the saw table at a time. Always hold the work
firmly against the table. See page 18.
AVOID CU'I-FING NAILS. Inspect for and
remove all nails from lumber before cutting.
NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY, OR
SETUP WORK ON THE TABLE while the
cutting tool is operating.
NEVER TOUCH BLADE or other moving parts
during use,
NEVER START A TOOL WHEN THE BLADE IS
IN CONTACT WITH THE WORKPIECE. Clear
the table of debris before turning your scrollsaw
on,
ALLOW THE MOTOR TO COME UP TO FULL
SPEED before starting a cut.
FIRMLY CLAMP OR BOLT your scrollsaw to a
firm, level workbench or table. The most comfort-
able saw table height is at approximately hip
height.
AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS A_D HAND
POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause
your hand to move into the blade. ALWAYS
make sure you have good balance. Do not cut
pieces of material that are too small to hold
comfortably in your hand.
REPLACEMENT PARTS. All repairs, whether
electrical or mechanical, should be made by
qualified service technician at a Sears store or
repair center.
_1= WARNING: When servicing use only identical
Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other
parts may create a hazard or cause product
damage.
NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMO-
SPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could
ignitefumes.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UN-
DER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL,
OR ANY MEDICATION.
STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL.
Watch what you are doing and use common
sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.
Do not rush.
MAKE SURE THE WORK AREA HAS AMPLE
LIGHTING to see the work and that no obstruc-
tions will interfere with safe operation BEFORE
performing any work using your saw.
ALWAYS TURN OFF SAW before disconnecting
it, to avoid accidental starting when reconnecting
to power supply. NEVER leave the scrollsaw
unattended while connected to a power source.
_. WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with your
saw make you careless. Remember that a
careless fractionof a second is sufficientto inflict
severe injury.

EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug. When using a power tool at aconsider-
able distance from the power source, use an exten-
sion cord heavy enough to carry the current that the
tool will draw. An undersized extension cord will
cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of
power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the
chart provided below to determine the minimum wire
size required in an extension cord. Only round jack-
eted cords listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL)
should be used.
Length of Extension Cord
Up to 25 feet
Wire Size (A.W.G.)

26-100 feet 16
When working with the tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord that is designed for outside use. This is
indicated by the letters WA on the cord's jacket.
Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
_i, CAUTION: Keep the cord away from the cutting
area and position the cord so that it will not be
caught on lumber, tools, or other objects during
cutting.
GROUNDING

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your Sears Craftsman Scroll Saw is powered by a
precision built electric motor. It should be connected
to a power supply that Is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only
(normal household current). Do not operate this tool
on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will
cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If
the saw does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double check the power supply.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current
to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into a matching outlet that is propedy
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in arisk of electric
shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer
surface that is green 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 personnel
if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is
properly grounded.
Repair"or replace a damaged or worn cord immedi-
ately.
"This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet like the one shown in Figure 1. It also has a
grounding pin like the one shown.

INSTALLING BLADES
Scroll saw blades wear out quickly and must be
replaced frequently for best cutting results. Expect to
break some blades while you learn to use and adjust
your saw. Blades generally stay sharp for 1/2 hour to
2 hours of cutting, depending on type of material and
speed of operation.
Pin End Blades

Turn off and unplug the saw.
,_k WARNING: Failure to unplug your saw could
result in accidental starting causing possible
serious personal injury.
Tension adjusting knob is on the top of the saw.
See Figure 5. Rotate the quick release knob
(outer, larger knob) 1/4 turn to the left or counter-
clockwise to release blade tension.
Fig. 15
Rotate quick release knob to the right or clock-
wise 1/4 turn to engage tension before using the
scroll saw.
Check tension by the sound the blade makes when
plucked like aguitar string. This method of adding
tension to the blade can be developed with practice
and requires knowing your scroll saw.
Pluck the back straight edge of blade while
turning tension adjusting knob. Sound should be
a musical note. Sound becomes less flat as
tension increases. Sound decreases with too
much tension.
Note: Be careful not to over tension the blade. Too
much tension may cause blade to break as soon as
you start cutting. Too little tension may cause blade to
bend or break before teeth wear out.

sitionproducts,plastic,andnonferrousmetals(alumi-
num,brass,copper).
GENERAL OPERATION
Please read and understand the following items
concerning your scroll sew before attempting to use
the sew.
There is a learning curve for each person who
wants to use this sew. Dudng that pedod of time
it is expected that some blades will break until
you learn how to use and adjust the sew.
Allow the saw to cut material by guiding the
workpiece into the blade as it moves. Do not
force the work.
The blade teeth cut matedal only on the down
stroke.
You must guide the workpiece into the blade
slowly because the teeth of the blade are very
small and can only remove matedal on the down
stroke.
Scroll saw blades wear out and must be replaced
frequently for best cutting results.Scroll saw
blades generally stay sharp for 112hour to 2
hours of cutting, depending on type of material
and speed of operation.
To get accurate cuts, be prepared to compen-
sate for the blade's tendency to follow the wood
grain as you are cuttingwood.
In cutting wood, best results are achieved when
cuttingwood less than one inch thick.
When cuttingwood thicker than one inch, the
user must guide the workpiece very slowly into
the blade and take extra care not to bend or twist
the blade while cutting.
When choosing a blade to use with your scroll
sew, consider the following carefully:
Very fine, narrow blades should be used to
scroll cut in thin matedal 1/4 in. thick or less.
Most blade packages state the size or thick-
ness and type of material which that blade is
intended to cut. Package should also state the
radius, or size of curve, which can be cut with
that blade.
Wider blades cannot cut curves as tight or
small as thinner blades.
Blades wear faster:
When cutting plywood and other laminates.
When cutting matedal thicker than 3/4 in.
When cutting hardwood.
When side pressure is applied to the blade.
ON/OFF KNOB WITH VARIABLE SPEED
See Figure 16.
Your scroll saw has an easy access On/Off knob with
variable speed.
Pull the knob outto turn ON the saw, and push
the knob in to turn OFF the sew.
Note: After saw is turned on, a hesitation before
blade movement is normal.
WARNING: Never leave the saw unattended
untilthe blade has come to a complete stop to
prevent seriouspersonal injury.
POST
ON/OFFKNOB Fig. 16
By turning the knob, the variable speed control
may be adjusted from the highspeed of approxi-
mately 1700 SPM (Strokes Per Minute) to the
low speed of approximately 500 SPM. Suggested
speeds are identified under Choice of Blade and
Speed, page 18. Turn the On/Off knob to the
rightor clockwise to increase strokes per minute
and to the left or counterclockwiseto reduce the
strokes per minute.
This motor has an electronic control that regulates the
speed and provides ovedoad protectionto the motor.
If the motor fails to start after about 2 seconds, push
the knob OFF and disconnect the saw from the power
source. Refer to the troubleshooting chart.
Note: I1the internal overload protector has been
tripped, pushing the On/Off knob OFF will reset it.
16
LOCK POST
See Figure 17.
To prevent unauthorized use of your scroll saw, we
suggest that you disconnect it from the power supply
and lockthe knob in the OFF position. A padlock with
ashackle of 5 mm or 3/16 in. diameter should be
used. When the lock is installed and locked, as
illustrated, the switchis inoperable. Store the padlock
key in another location.
To lock the saw in the OFF position, installa
padlock through the lock post beside the knob as
illustrated and lockthe padlock. (Padlock is not
supplied with the saw.)
,_ WARNING: For your own safety, always push
the knob OFF when machine is not in use. Also,
in the event of apower failure, push knob OFF.
Lock the scroll saw switch OFF with a padlock.
This will prevent the machine from starting up
again when the power comes back on. Failure to
heed this warning can result in serious personal
injury.
INTERIOR SCROLL CUTTING
See Figure 18.
One of the features of ascroll saw is that it can
be used to make scroll cuts on the interiorof a
board without breaking or cuttingthrough the
edge or perimeter of the board.
&WARNING: To avoid possible serious injury
from accidental starting, always turn the switch
OFF and remove plugfrom power source outlet
before removing or replacing the blade.
To make interiorcuts in aboard, remove the
scroll saw blade as explained in the Installing
Blades section on page 14.
Drill a114in. hole in the board to be used to
make interiorcuts.
Place the board on the saw table withthe hole in
the board over the access hole in the table.
Installblade through hole in board then adjust
the holddown foot and the blade tension. See
pages 14 and 15.
When finished making the interiorscrollcuts,
simply remove the blade from the blade holders
as described in the Installing Blades section,
and remove the board from the table.

STACK CUTTING
See Figure 19.
After becoming well acquainted with your saw through
practice and experience, you may wish to try stack
cutting. Stack cutting may be used when several
identical shapes need to be cut. Several pieces of
wood may be stacked on top and secured to each
other before cutting. The wood pieces may be joined
together by placing double sided tape between each
piece or by wrapping masking tape around the
comers or ends of the stacked wood. You must attach
the stacked pieces of wood to each other so they will
move on the table as a single piece of material.
_k WARNING: To avoid possible, serious personal
injury,do not cut more than one loose piece of
material at a time.

Fig. 19
CHOICE OF BLADE AND SPEED
The scroll saw accepts a wide variety of blade widths and thicknesses for cutting wood and other fibrous materi-
als. Your saw uses 5 inch long blades of either the pin end or the plain end style. The blade width and thickness
and the number of teeth per inch to use are determined by the type of material and the size of the radius being
cut. A full selection of scrollsaw blades ere available through Sears Retail Stores.
Note: As a general rule, always select narrow blades for intricatecurve cutting, and wide blades for straightand
large curve cutting.

BEFORE EACH USE:
INSPECT YOUR SAW. Disconnect the saw. To
avoid injury from accidental starting, turn the
switch OFF and unplugthe saw before changing
the setup or removing covers, guards, or blade.
INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE. Make sure there
are no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece to
be cut.
USE EXTRA CAUTION WITH LARGE, VERY
SMALL, OR AWKWARD WORKPIECES.
Never use this tool to cut pieces too small to hold
by hand.
18
Always use extra supports (tables, saw horses,
blocks, etc.) for any workpiece large enough to
tip when not held down to the table top.
Never use another person as a substitutefor a
table extension, or as additional support for a
workpiece or to help feed, support, or pullthe
workpiece.
When cuttingan irregularlyshaped workpiece,
plan your work so it will not pinchthe blade. A
piece of molding, for example, must lay flat or be
held by a fixture orjig that will not let it twist,
rock, or slip while being cut.
Properlysupportroundmaterialsuchasdowel
rods.Theyhaveatendencytorollduringa cut,
causingthebladeto"bite." To avoid this, always
use a "v" block.
Clear everything except the workpiece and
related support devices off the table before
plugginginto power and turningthe saw on.
BPLAN THE WAY YOU WILL HOLD THE
WORKPIECE FROM START TO FINISH. Do not
hand hold pieces so small that your fingers will
go under the work hold-down.
BEFORE FREEING ANY JAMMED MATERIAL:
Turn switch OFF.
Wait for all moving parts to stop.
Unplug the saw.
WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE WORKPIECE,
THE BLADE MAY BIND IN THE KERF (CUT).
THIS IS USUALLY CAUSED BY SAWDUST
CLOGGING UP THE KERF. IF THIS HAPPENS:
Turn switch OFF,
Wait for all moving parts to stop.
Unplug the saw.
Remove the blade from the blade holders.
Remove the workpiece with blade from the table.
Remove blade from workpiece.
&WARNING: Before removing loose pieces from
the table, turn saw off and wait for all moving
parts to stop to avoid serious personal injury.
_. WARNING: When servicing, use only identic&l
Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other
part may create ahazard or cause product
damage.
WARNING: To prevent accidental starting that
could cause possible serious personal injury,
turn off and unplug the saw before maintaining or
lubricatingyour scroll saw.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Keep your Scroll Saw clean.
After cleaning the table top initially,apply a thin
coat of automobile type (paste) wax to the table
top so the wood slides easily while cutting.
ARM BEARINGS
See Figure 20.
Lubricate the arm bearings after every 50 hours of
use or whenever there is a squeak coming from the
bearings.
Carefully place the saw on its side as shown in
Figure 20. Remove the rubber cap from the
lower arm of the saw.
Squirt a few drops of SAE20 oil around the shaft
end and bronze bearing. Let oil soak in over-
night, remaining in this position.
Note: Lubricate the upper arm bearing from the other
side of the saw.
_k, WARNING: If the power cord is worn, cut, or
damaged in any way, have it replaced
immediately by a qualified service technician at a
Sears store to avoid riskof personal injury.
BRONZEBEARING
MOTOR BRUSHES
See Figure 21.
Your saw has externally accessible brush assemblies
that should be checked periodicallyfor wear. When
one of the two brushes becomes worn, replace both
brushes.
Unplug your saw.
_, WARNING: Failure to unplugyour saw could
result in accidental starting causing serious
injury.
19
Remove brush cap with a flat blade screwdriver.
Remove brush assembly. Gently pry the brush
assembly out using a small screwdriver, point of
anail or paperclip, etc.
Check for wear. If one brush is worn down
shorter than 114in., replace both brushes. Do
not replace one side without replacing the other.
Reassemble using new brush assembly. Make
sure curvature of brush matches curvature of
motor and that brush moves freely in brushtube.
Use the blunt end of something thin (eraser end
of pencil, etc.) to push the brush into the tube
until it stays.
Make sure brushcap is oriented correctly
(straight) and replace.
