Stack Cutting (Figure 14)
Stack cutting may be used when several identical
shapes need to be cut.
Several workpieces (2) may be stacked one on
top of the other and secured to each other
before cutting.
Pieces of wood may be joined together by placing
double sided tape (1) between each piece or by
wrapping tape around the corners or ends of the
stacked wood.
The stacked pieces must be attached to each
other in such a way that they can be handled on
the table as a single workpiece.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, do not cut several workpieces at a time unless
they are properly attached to each other.
WARNING: Do not let familiarity with the saw create carelessness. Remember that a careless
decision made quickly can create a serious injury.
WARNING: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY. Always disconnect tool from power source before
making any adjustments, installing or changing accessories.
CAUTION: Tool service must be preformed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury. When servicing
a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of
this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create
a risk of electrical shock or injury.
General Maintenance
1. Clean the housing, table, base and motor vents after each use.
2. Lubricate moving parts with light weight oil.
3. Apply a thin coat of hydrophobic grease to table so that the workpiece slides easily
while cutting.
4. Store the tool on a safe and dry place, and out of reach of children.
5. If tool begins to make abnormal noise, vibrations, produces smoke or burning odor, turn the tool
off immediately and do not operate, until repaired.
6. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories.
7. Do not allow any build up of resins or sap on the saw table. Clean with gum and pitch remover
as needed.
WARNING: When replacing parts, use only identical replacement parts. The use of any other
part may create a hazard or damage the saw.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR SCROLL SAW
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
WARNING: CHEMICAL HAZARD. Use of this tool may cause exposure to chemicals that are
known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Dust
and debris created during cutting, drilling, grinding or sanding on some materials may contain
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
