16. TURN THE SAW OFF AND
UNPLUG THE CORD if the blade
binds in the saw kerf while being
backed out of the workpiece,
usually caused by sawdust
clogging the kerf. If this happens,
turn off the scroll saw and unplug
the power cord. Wedge open the
kerf and back the blade out of the
workpiece.
17. DO NOT feed the material too
fast while cutting. Only feed the
workpiece at the rate the saw will
cut.
18. TURN THE POWER OFF, remove
the switch key and make sure the
scroll saw comes to a complete
stop before installing or removing
an accessory, and before leaving
the work area.
19. DO NOT START the saw with
workpiece pressing against the
blade. Slowly feed the workpiece
into the moving blade.
20. WHEN CUTTING a large
workpiece, MAKE SURE the
material is supported at table
height.
21. EXERCISE CAUTION when
cutting workpieces that are round
or irregularly shaped. Round items
will roll and irregularly shaped
workpieces can pinch the blade.
22. ALWAYS release blade tension
before loosening the blade holder
screw.
23. MAKE CERTAIN table tilting lock
is tightened before starting the
machine.
24. NEVER REACH under the scroll
saw table when motor is running.
25. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS
before each use. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting or any other conditions
that may affect operation. Parts that
are damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced before using
the tool.
26. THINK SAFETY.
