RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued) USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an 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 resulting in loss of power and overheating.
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.
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 a consider- able distance from the power source, use an exten- sion cord heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw.
Bevel Cut A cutting operation made with the table at any angle other than 90 ° to the blade. Crosscut A cutting or shaping operation made across the grain of the workpiece. Compound Cut A compound cut is a cut made using a miter angle and a bevel angle at the same time.
_lj WARNING: To prevent accidental starting or electrical shock that could cause possible serious personal injury, assemble all parts to your saw before connecting it to power supply. Saw should never be connected to power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, lubricating, installing or removing.

HOLD DOWN FOOT/BLADE GUARD The hold down foot should be lowered until it just rests on top Of the workpieoe to prevent the workpieco from lifting while cutting, but not so much that the workpiece drags. The vertical portion provides e blade guard to prevent accidental blade contact.
CLAMPING SCROLL SAW TO WORKBENCH See Figure 7. If the scroll saw is to be used in a portable application, we recommend that you fasten it permanently to a mounting board that can easily be clamped to a workbench or other supporting surface. The mounting board should be of sufficient size to avoid tipping of saw while in use.
SQUARING TABLE TO THE BLADE See Figures 9 and 10. • Loosen the hold down foot lock knob and move hold down rod all the way up. Tighten knob. • Loosen the table lock knob and move the table untit it is approximately perpendicular, or at right angle to the blade.
HEX BOLT SAW TABLE HEX NUT ERO DEGRE STOP ASSEMBLY Fig. 11 The zero stop assembly can be rotated to the left and down out of the way and the table can be angled up to 12' to the left. See Figure 12. Note: Make sure the zero degree stop is rotated all the way down or it will contact the blade storage drawer as you angle to the left.

This scroll saw is designed to cut wood, wood compo- sition products, plastic, and nonferrous metals (alumi- num, brass, copper). GENERAL OPERATION Please read and understand the following items concerning your scroll saw before attempting to use the saw.
LOCK POST See Figure 17. To prevent unauthorized use of your scroll saw, we suggest that you disconnect it from the power supply and lock the knob in the OFF position. A Master Lock® 105D padlock should be used. When the lock is installed and locked, as illustrated, the switch is inoperable.
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.
Properly support round material such as dowel rods. They have a tendency to roll during a cut, causing the blade to "bite." Toavoid this, always use a "v" block. • Clear everything except the workpiece and related support devices off the table before plugging into power and turning the saw on.
• Remove brush cap with a flat blade screwdriver. • Remove brush assembly. Gently pry the brush assembly out using a small screwdriver, point of a nail or paper clip, etc. • Check for wear. If one brush is worn down shorter than 1/4 in., replace both brushes.
