ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR
SCROLL SAWS
3
WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them often
and use them to instruct others.
1. DO NOT OPERATE your scroll saw until it is
completely assembled and installed according to the
instructions.
2. IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the
operation of Scroll Saws, obtain advice from your
supervisor, instructor or other qualified person.
3. YOUR SCROLL SAW MUST be securely fastened
to a stand or workbench. If there is any tendency for the
stand or workbench to move during operation, the stand
or workbench MUST be fastened to the floor.
4. THIS SCROLL SAW is intended for indoor use only.
5. MAKE SURE blade is properly tensioned before
operating saw.
6. TO AVOID blade breakage ALWAYS adjust blade
tension correctly.
7. MAKE SURE the blade teeth point downward toward
the table.
8. NEVER turn the saw "ON" before clearing the table
of all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.).
9. DO NOT cut material that is too small to be safely
supported.
10. AVOID awkward hand positions where a sudden slip
could cause a hand to move into the blade.
11. ALWAYS keep hands and fingers away from blade.
12. ALWAYS adjust holddown foot for each new
operation.
13. DO NOT USE dull or bent blades.
14. DO NOT attempt to saw material that does not have
a flat surface, unless a suitable support is used.
15. MAKE "relief" cuts before cutting long curves.
16. NEVER attempt to cut a curve that is too tight for the
blade being used.
17. WHEN backing a blade out of a workpiece, the blade
may bind in the saw kerf. This is usually caused by
sawdust in the kerf. If this happens, turn "OFF" the
switch and remove plug from power source outlet.
Wedge open the kerf and back blade out of the
workpiece.
18. THE USE of attachments and accessories not
recommended by Delta may result in the risk of injuries.
19. ALWAYS hold the work firmly against the table.
20. DO NOT feed the material too fast while cutting. Only
feed the material fast enough so that the blade will cut.
21. NEVER start the Scroll Saw with the stock pressed
against the blade.
22. WHEN cutting a large workpiece MAKE SURE the
material is supported at table height.
23. USE CAUTION when cutting material which is
irregular in cross section which could pinch the blade
before the cut is completed. A piece of moulding for
example must lay flat on the table and not be permitted
to rock while being cut.
24. USE CAUTION when cutting round material such as
dowel rods or tubing. They have a tendency to roll while
being cut causing the blade to "bite." Use a V-block to
control the piece.
25. ALWAYS release blade tension before removing the
blade from the upper or lower blade holders.
26. MAKE CERTAIN table tilting lock is tightened before
starting the machine.
27. NEVER reach under the table while the machine is
running.
28. NEVER perform layout, assembly or set-up work on
the table while the saw is operating.
29. ALWAYS STOP the saw before removing scrap
pieces from the table.
30. WHEN THE TOOL IS NOT IN USE, the switch
should be locked in the “OFF” position to prevent
unauthorized use.
31. SHOULD any part of your Scroll Saw be missing,
damaged or fail in any way, or any electrical component
fail to perform properly, shut off switch and remove plug
from power supply outlet. Replace missing, damaged or
failed parts before resuming operation.
