BLADE CONTROL. To avoid serious personal
injury, DO NOT attempt to stop or slow the blade
with your hand or the workpiece. Allow the blade
to stop on its own.
FEED RATE. To avoid the risk of the workpiece
slipping and causing operator injury, always feed
stock evenly and smoothly. DO NOT force or twist
the blade while cutting, especially when sawing
small curves.
CUTTING TECHNIQUES. Plan your operation so
the blade always cuts to the outside of the work-
piece. DO NOT back the workpiece away from
the blade while the saw is running, which could
cause kickback and personal injuries. If you need
to back the workpiece out, turn the scroll saw
OFF and wait for the blade to come to a complete
stop. DO NOT twist or put excessive stress on the
blade that could damage it. Instead, use relief cuts
for curve cuts that may twist the blade.
LEAVING WORK AREA. Never leave a machine
running unattended. Allow the scroll saw to come
to a complete stop before you leave it unattended.
CUT-OFF PIECES. Never use your hands to
move cut-offs away from the blade while the saw
is running. If a cut-off becomes trapped between
the blade and table insert, turn the saw OFF and
allow the blade to completely stop before remov-
ing it.
Serious cuts or amputation can occur from contact with the moving saw blade during operation
or if blade breakage occurs. To reduce this risk, anyone operating this machine MUST com-
pletely heed the hazards and warnings below.
HAND PLACEMENT. Never position fingers or
hands in line with the blade. If the workpiece or
your hands slip, serious personal injury could
occur.
INTENDED USE. This machine is intended for
cutting natural and man-made wood products, and
laminate covered wood products. This machine is
NOT designed to cut metal, glass, stone, tile, etc.
SMALL WORKPIECE HANDLING. If your hands
slip while holding small workpieces with your fin-
gers during a cut, amputation or laceration injuries
could occur. Always support/feed the workpiece
with push sticks, jig, vise, or some type of clamp-
ing fixture.
BLADE CONDITION. Do not operate with dull,
cracked, or badly worn blade. Dull blades require
more effort to perform the cut and increase the
risk of kickback. Inspect blades for cracks and
missing teeth before each use.
BLADE TENSION. To avoid mishaps that could
result in operator injury, make sure the blade teeth
face down toward the table and the blade is prop-
erly tensioned before operating.
BLADE SPEED. Always allow the blade to come
to full speed before starting the cut. Moving the
workpiece against a blade that is not at full speed
could cause the blade to break or grab the work-
piece and draw the operator’s hands into the
blade.
