• 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.
• USE a dust mask and safety glasses when sawing.
• KEEP GUARDS in place and working order.
• MAKE SURE your fingers do not contact the terminals of the power
cord when installing or removing the plug to or from the line power
source.
• NEVER overfeed or force work into the blade.
• WARNING: Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of
your saw) to replace following safety rules. Always remember that a
careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.

Mounting
Three holes are provided in the base of the scroll saw to facilitate
mounting to a table or bench (Figure 1). Always mount your saw
firmly to prevent movement.

Assembly
Your scroll saw comes fully assembled except for the table and
blade. To install the table, first insert the pin at the back of the arm
into the hole in the back of the table (Figure 2). Push the table until its
back surface is flush against the arm and the pin is fully inserted in
the table (Figure 3).
Using the hex wrench packed with your scroll saw, securely attach
the table to the bevel scale by tightening the bolts shown in Figure 4.
Installing the Blade
BEFORE INSTALLING A BLADE, UNPLUG THE SCROLL SAW.
The blade is held in place by the thumbscrew blade clamps attached
to the top and bottom arms of the scroll saw (Figure 5).
Before installing a blade, make sure the blade tension lever is moved
fully to the right as shown in Figure 6. Next, loosen, but do not
unscrew, the top and bottom thumbscrews (Figure 5). Thread the
blade through the hole in table, with the teeth facing toward the front
of the saw. NOTE: Scroll saws cut on the downstroke, so it is
essential that teeth face forward and down.
Insert the blade into the bottom blade clamp and securely tighten
