BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL ADJUST-
MENTS ARE SECURE.
BEFORE CHANGING THE SETUP, REMOVING COV-
ERS, GUARDS OR BLADE, UNPLUG THE SAW.
DO NOT FEED THE MATERIAL TOO QUICKLY while
cutting. Do not force the workpiece against the blade.
NEVER CUT MORE THAN ONE WORKPIECE AT A
TIME. If making a stacked cut, all of the pieces must be
secured to each other with masking tape or double stick
tape to make one workpiece. Do not put more than one
workpiece on the saw table at a time. Always hold the
work firmly against the table. See page 17.
AVOID CUTTING NAILS. Inspect for and remove all nails
from lumber before cutting.
NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY, OR SETUP
WORK ON THE TABLE while the cutting tool is operat-
ing.
NEVER TOUCH BLADE or other moving parts during
use.
NEVER START A TOOL WHEN THE BLADE IS IN
CONTACT WITH THE WORKPIECE. Clear the table of
debris before turning your scroll saw on.
ALLOW THE MOTOR TO COME UP TO FULL SPEED
before starting a cut.
FIRMLY CLAMP OR BOLT your scroll saw to a stable,
level workbench or table. The most comfortable table
height is at approximately waist height.
AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSI-
TIONS where a sudden slip could cause your hand to
move into the blade. ALWAYS make sure you have good
balance. Do not cut pieces of material that are too small
to hold comfortably in your hand.
REPLACEMENT PARTS. All repairs, whether electrical
or mechanical, should be made by qualified service
technician at a authorized service center.
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.
NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. Nor-
mal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY MEDI-
CATION.
STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. Watch what
you are doing and use common sense. Do not operate
tool when you are tired. Do not rush.
MAKE SURE THE WORK AREA HAS AMPLE LIGHT-
ING to see the work and that no obstructions will interfere
with safe operation BEFORE performing any work using
your saw.
ALWAYS TURN OFF SAW before disconnecting it to
avoid accidental starting when reconnecting to power
supply. NEVER leave the scroll saw unattended while
connected to a power source.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with your saw to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a
second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
