Additional Safety Rules
d. Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could
cause a hand to move into the blade.
•
ALWAYS adjust the drop foot to just clear the workpiece to
protect the operator, keep blade breakage to a minimum
and provide maximum support for blade.
• Always adjust blade tension correctly.
•
The Scroll Station should cut on the down stroke. Always
make sure blade teeth are oriented downward toward
table.
• When cutting a large piece of material, make sure it is sup-
ported at table height.
• Hold the work firmly against the table.
• Do not feed the material too fast while cutting. Only feed
the material fast enough so that the blade will cut. Keep
fingers away from the blade.
• Use caution when cutting off material which is irregular in
cross section‚ it could pinch the blade before the cut is
completed. A piece of molding, for example, must lay flat
on the table and not be permitted to rock while being cut.
• Use caution when cutting off round material such as dowel
rods or tubing. They have a tendency to roll while being
cut, causing the blade to “bite”.
e. Never leave the Scroll Station running unattended. Turn
the saw OFF, make sure the saw has come to a complete
stop, and then remove plug from power supply before
leaving the work area.
f. Do not perform layout, assembly or setup work on the
table while the cutting tool is operating.
g. Turn saw off and remove plug from power supply outlet
before installing or removing an accessory attachment.
h. Access Door must be closed before operation.
i. Quick Release Tension Lever should be in down position
before operating.
THINK SAFETY
SAFETY IS A COMBINATION OF OPERATOR COMMON
SENSE AND ALERTNESS AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE Scroll
Station IS BEING USED.
Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent
use of your Scroll Station) to become com-
monplace. Always remember that a careless fraction of a
second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
The operation of any power tool
can result in foreign objects being
thrown into the eyes, which can
result in severe eye damage.
Always wear safety goggles that
comply with ANSI Z87.1 before
commencing power tool operation.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling,and other construction activi-
ties contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chem-
icals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
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.
