SECTION 1: SAFETY For Your Own Safety Read Instruction Manual Before Operating This Equipment The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which are intended to convey the level of importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention measures.
Safety Instructions For Power Tools 9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Conductor size should be in accordance with the chart below. The amperage rating should be listed on the motor or tool nameplate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.
Additional Safety Instructions For Scroll Saws 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! 7. USE BLADES APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR MACHINE, material being cut, and the type of cut that you are performing. 8. KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM BLADE. DO NOT hold pieces so small that your fingers go under the blade guard.

SECTION 5: SET UP G0536 Inventory Unpacking The machine was carefully packed when it left the Grizzly warehouse. If you discover the machine is damaged after you have signed for delivery, and the truck and driver are gone, you will need to file a freight claim with the carrier. Save the containers and all packing materials for possible inspection by the carrier or its agent. Without the packing materials, filing a freight claim can be difficult.
Site Considerations Clean Up Weight Load The Model G0536 Scroll Saw is a small weight load with a small footprint. Most workbenches should be sufficient to carry the weight of the machine. Reinforce the workbench if you question its ability to support the weight. The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect them from corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser.
Beginning Assembly This section covers the basic assembly and adjustment instructions needed to begin operation. Complete the assembly in the order provided in this manual and then read the remaining portion of the manual before attempting any type of operation. Your safety is important! Please follow the warnings below during this entire section: Attach Blade Guard To attach the blade guard: 1. Set the blade guard on the scroll saw table and position it around the upper arm. 2.
Installing Blades To install the blade: 1. Disconnect the machine from the power source. 2. Feed the blade through the table and hook into the lower blade holder as shown in Figure 6. The blade teeth should face forward and down. Test Run Once the assembly is complete, the machine needs to be tested. The purpose of the test run is to ensure that there are no problems. To test run the scroll saw: Figure 6. Blade attached to both holders. (Guard removed for clarity) 3.
SECTION 6: OPERATIONS General Blade Speed This section will cover basic scroll sawing operations. Please read the remaining portion of the manual before attempting any type of operation. It is important to adjust the blade speed for the type of material being cut. Generally harder materials require a slower blade speed.
Changing Blades 5. A typical scroll saw blade will wear out in 1⁄2 to 2 hours, depending on the material cut. Blades become dull quicker when cutting thick material, plywood, laminates, hardwoods and metal. Feed the blade through the table and hook it into the lower blade holder as shown in Figure 10. The teeth should face forward and down. To change the blade: 1. Disconnect the machine from the power source 2. Remove the throat plate and the lower arm guard shown in Figure 8.
Straight Cuts Curved Cuts Miter gauges and fences are not effective on scroll saws because most scroll saw blades are narrow and tend to follow the grain of the wood. Freehand cutting allows the operator to compensate for blade drift. When cutting curves, preplan your cut and leave tight inside curves for a second pass to minimizing backing out. Cut sharp outside curves by cutting past the curve and looping around to cut from a different angle. To make a straight cut: To make a curved cut: 1.
Inside Cuts Bevel Cuts Inside cuts such as circles or the insides of closed letters can be easily cut with your scroll saw by threading the blade through a hole drilled in the workpiece. Bevel cuts can be used for miters, cope joints, and making relief or recessed projects. To make an inside cut: 1. Draw your pattern as described in the previous sections. Disconnect the machine from the power source. 2. Adjust the table to the desired angle. 2. Remove blade and throat plate. 3. 3.
SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE Maintenance Safety General Your safety is important! Please follow the warnings below during this entire section: Regular periodic maintenance on the Model G0536 will ensure optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting the machine each time you use it. ! Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury.
Lubrication Replacing Brushes Lubricate the upper and lower arm bushings with light machine oil once a month or after 50 hours of use. Replacing the motor brushes is a simple job that may be necessary after extended use. To replace the motor brushes: To lubricate the bushings: 1. 1. Disconnect the machine from the power source. 2. Remove the motor brush caps with a flathead screwdriver. One of the caps is shown in Figure 16. The other is on the opposite side of the motor.
