Specific safety r ules for the scroll saw (continued)
When operating the scroll saw
WARNING: Use the rotary tool for sanding and grinding applications only. This
product is not recommended for drilling applications.
1. To avoid injury from unexpected scroll saw movement:
• Use the scroll saw on a firm level surface with adequate space for handling and supporting the
workpiece.
• Be sure the scroll saw cannot move when operated. Secure the scroll saw to a workbench or table
with wood screws or bolts with washers and nuts.
2. Before moving the scroll saw, unplug the power cord from the electric outlet.
3. To avoid injury from kickback:
• Hold the workpiece firmly against the tabletop.
• Do not feed the workpiece too fast while cutting. Only feed the workpiece at the rate the saw will cut.
• Install the blade with the teeth pointing downward.
• Do not start the saw with the workpiece pressing against the blade. Slowly feed the workpiece into
the moving blade.
• Use caution when cutting round or irregularly shaped work pieces. Round items will roll and
irregularly shaped work pieces can pinch the blade.
4. T avoid injury when operating the scroll saw:
• If you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of scroll saws, obtain advice from a qualified
person.
• Before starting the saw, make sure the blade tension is correct. Recheck and adjust tension as need.
• Make sure the table is locked into position before starting the saw.
• Do not use dull or bent blades.
• When cutting a large workpiece, make sure the material is supported at the table height.
• Turn the saw OFF and unplug the power cord if the blade jams in the workpiece while being backed
out. This condition is usually caused by sawdust clogging the line you are cutting. If this happens,
turn OFF the scroll saw and unplug the power cord. Wedge open the workpiece and back out the
blade.
