No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect.
Failure to do so could result in serious per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.
Like all machines there is danger associated
with the Model G0536 Scroll Saw. Accidents
are frequently caused by lack of familiarity
or failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to lessen the pos-
sibility of operator injury. If normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.
Additional Safety Instructions For Scroll Saws
1. SCROLL SAW SAFETY BEGINS with
your lumber. Inspect your stock carefully
before you begin a cut. If you have any
doubts about the stability or structural
integrity of your stock, DO NOT CUT!
2. KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM BLADE. DO
NOT hold pieces so small that your fingers
go under the blade guard. DO NOT reach
underneath work or in blade cutting path
with your hands or fingers for any reason.
3. AVOID POSITIONS where a slip could
cause your hand to go into the blade.
4. NEVER USE YOUR SCROLL SAW WITH
THE BLADE GUARD REMOVED.
5. WAIT UNTIL BLADE IS STOPPED before
clearing away cut-off pieces.
6. UNPLUG YOUR SCROLL SAW and
remove the safety switch key before
changing blades, adjustments, or perform-
ing maintenance.
7. USE BLADES APPROPRIATE FOR
YOUR MACHINE, material being cut, and
the type of cut that you are performing.
8. DO NOT START THE SAW WITH THE
BLADE IN CONTACT WITH THE WORK-
PIECE.
9. SUPPORT LARGE WORKPIECES to
reduce blade breakage and pinching.
10. FIRMLY SECURE YOUR SCROLL SAW
to a stable, level table or workbench using
clamps or bolts. The saw may move when
cutting large workpieces if not secured.
11. HABITS — GOOD AND BAD — ARE
HARD TO BREAK. Develop good habits in
your shop and safety will become second-
nature to you.
12. PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO WOOD
DUST IS KNOWN TO CAUSE CANCER IN
HUMANS. Always wear an OSHA-
approved respirator when working in an
environment that could contain wood dust.
