SCROLL SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
Always disconnect the power cord from the power source before making any
adjustments or attaching any accessories. Always turn off the saw before
disconnecting it to avoid accidental starting when reconnecting to a power source. You
may unexpectedly cause the tool to start leading to serious personal injury.
Never leave the tool running unattended. Turn power off. Don't leave the tool until it
comes to a complete stop.
Never leave the switches in "ON" position. Before plugging the tool in, check that the
switches are "OFF". Accidental start-ups could cause injury.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off. Have broken switches replaced by an
authorized service center.
Use only SKIL scroll saw blades. Use the right blade size, style and cutting speed for the
material and the type of cut. Sharp blades minimize stalling and kick-backs. Blade teeth
should point down toward the table.
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions and always make sure you have good
balance. A sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the blade.
Firmly clamp or bolt your scroll saw to a stable, level workbench or table. The most
comfortable table height is approximately waist height.
Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the blade is
unintentionally contacted.
Before making a cut, be sure all adjustments are secure. Loose table or guards could shift
in use and cause you to lose control of the workpiece.
Always adjust drop foot to just clear the workpiece. Proper adjustment of the drop foot will
help protect your fingers and keep blade breakage to a minimum.
Always support large workpiece while cutting to minimize risk of blade pinching and
kickback. Heavy workpiece may cause the table to slip, walk, or slide while cutting.
Be sure the blade path is free of nails. Inspect for and remove nails from lumber or
workpiece before cutting.
Keep hands away from cutting area. Do not hand hold pieces so small that your fingers go
under the drop foot. Do not reach underneath work or in blade cutting path with your hands
and fingers for any reason.
Never start the tool when the blade is in contact with the workpiece. Allow the motor to
come up to full speed before starting a cut. Blade in contact with the workpiece on start-up
will cause it to jump.
