24. Maintain tools with care. Keep saw blades sharp

not use your hands.

occur if the machine tips over.

Additional Safety Instructions for
Scroll Saws
31. Scroll saw must be secured to a sturdy foundation.
If there is a tendency for the stand or workbench
to move, it must also be secured to the floor.
32. Blade must be properly tensioned before
operating. Failure to do so could result in blade
breakage and possible injury.
33. Never start saw with workpiece contacting blade.
34. Always keep fingers and hands away from blade.
Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden
slip might cause hand to move into or toward the
blade.
35. Always hold stock firmly against table. The
provided
hold-down
should
be
correctly
positioned over the workpiece.
36. Do not attempt to saw any stock that does not
have a flat surface, without a suitable support. Do
not cut pieces of material too small to hold by
hand.
37. Care must be taken when cutting material with an
irregular cross section. The blade could pinch
before the cut is completed. Any stock, such as
frame molding, must lie flat on the table surface
and not be allowed to rock.
38. Dowels or tubing have a tendency to roll while
being cut and cause the blade to “bite.” Round
material should be held firmly against the table.
39. Turn off saw before backing stock out of an
incomplete cut. Only remove jammed cut-off
pieces after blade has stopped.
40. Make “relief” cuts before cutting long curves.
41. When cutting large or oversize stock, always make
sure material is supported at table height.
42. Do not feed workpiece too fast while cutting. Feed
workpiece only fast enough for the blade to cut.
43. Never reach under the table while blade is moving.
