SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR
SCROLL SAw
Because each shop situation is unique, no list of safety guidelines can
ever be complete. the most important safety feature in any shop is the
knowledge and good judgement of the user. use common sense and
always keep safety considerations, as they apply to your individual shop
situation first and foremost in mind. If you have any doubts about the
safety of an operation you are about to perform: stOP! Do not perform the
operation until you have validated from qualified individuals if the operation
is safe to perform and what is the safest method to perform it.
1. Material hold-down must be properly set and remain in position during
use.
2. Never reach under the table when operating or make any adjustments
while the scroll saw is running.
3. secure the saw to the work bench with clamps or mounting hardware.
4. Where possible, use clamps or a vise to secure your workpiece. It is
safer than using your hand.
5. Do not lift or carry the saw by the upper arm.
6. Make sure blade tension is properly adjusted.
7. avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause a hand
to move into the saw blade. Do not place fingers or hands in the path of
the saw blade.
8. When removing short workpieces, or cleaning up around the table, be
sure that the switch is in the OFF position and that the blade has come
to a complete stop.
9. Never turn the saw ON before making sure that the table is clear except
for the workpiece and related feed or support devices for the operation
planned.
10. Check for proper blade size and type.
11. Do not attempt to saw stock that does not have a flat surface unless a
suitable support is used.
12. avoid distractions while cutting.
13. Never leave the saw running unattended.
14. turn off motor if the material resists being backed out of an incomplete
cut. use appropriate speed for applications.
CAUTION: Some wood contains preservatives such as copper
chromium arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic. When cutting these
materials, extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and to minimize
skin contact.
15. always use a dust mask and safety glasses when sawing. everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOt safety
glasses.
16. Keep guards in place and in working order.
17. Make sure your fingers do not contact the terminals of the power cord
plug when plugging in or unplugging the saw.
18. Never overfeed or force work into the blade.
19. Check for alignment and binding of all moving parts, broken parts,
