WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical Ryobi replacement
parts. Use of any other part may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
WARNING:
To prevent accidental starting that could cause possible
serious personal injury, turn off and unplug the saw
before maintaining or lubricating your scroll saw.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
■ Keep your Scroll Saw clean.
■ After cleaning the table top initially, apply a thin coat of
automobile type (paste) wax to the table top so the wood
slides easily while cutting.
WARNING:
If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way,
have it replaced immediately by a qualified service
technician at an authorized service center to avoid risk of
personal injury.
MOTOR BRUSHES
See Figure 22.
Your saw has externally accessible brush assemblies that
should be checked periodically for wear. When one of the
two brushes becomes worn, replace both brushes.
■ Unplug your saw.
• Properly support round material such as dowel rods.
They have a tendency to roll during a cut, causing the
blade to "bite." To avoid this, always use a "v" block.
• Clear everything except the workpiece and related
support devices off the table before plugging into power
and turning the saw on.
■ PLAN THE WAY YOU WILL HOLD THE WORKPIECE
FROM START TO FINISH. Do not hand hold pieces so
small that your fingers will go under the work hold-down.
■ BEFORE FREEING ANY JAMMED MATERIAL:
• Turn switch OFF.
• Wait for all moving parts to stop.
• Unplug the saw.
■ WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE WORKPIECE, THE
BLADE MAY BIND IN THE KERF (CUT). THIS IS
USUALLY CAUSED BY SAWDUST CLOGGING UP
THE KERF. IF THIS HAPPENS:
• Turn switch OFF.
• Wait for all moving parts to stop.
• Unplug the saw.
• Remove the blade from the blade holders.
• Remove the workpiece with blade from the table.
• Remove blade from workpiece.
WARNING:
Before removing loose pieces from the table, turn saw off
and wait for all moving parts to stop to avoid serious
personal injury.
