WARNING: Read all safety warnings
and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Make the workshop childproof. Use padlocks,
master switches. Always remove starter keys.
Never leave a power tool running while it is
unattended. Turn the power switch OFF and do
not leave the area until the tool has come to a
complete stop.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energizing power
tools that have the switch ON invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.

PERSONAL SAFETY – cont’d
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Bench-top power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, cleaning, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
Each time the tool is used, make sure the
guards are in place and working properly.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use only accessories that are recommended
for the tool. Consult your Owner’s Manual for
recommended accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece. Holding
the workpiece by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
Never stand on a power tool. Serious injury
could result if the tool tips or is accidentally hit.
Do NOT store anything above or near a power
tool.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.

Always make sure the work surface is free of
nails and other foreign objects. Cutting into a
nail can cause the blade to jump or break.
WARNING: Use caution when handling
blades. They are very sharp.
WARNING: Never touch the blade
immediately after turning the scroll saw OFF.
The blade will be extremely hot.
Install the blade with the teeth pointing
downward toward the table. An incorrectly
installed blade will not cut properly and will
make control of the workpiece very difficult.
Always use the correct blade type for the type
of material being cut.
Check the blade before each use to ensure it
is in good condition and is properly installed.
Never use a dull or bent blade.
Adjust the blade tension before each use.
Blades that are too tight or too loose can break
and cause injury. Recheck the blade tension

DANGER: Always remove the plug from
the power source when changing the blade,
when making adjustments and when servicing
the tool.
Turn the saw OFF and unplug the cord if the
blade binds in the saw kerf while being backed
out of the workpiece, usually caused by sawdust
clogging the kerf behind the blade. If this
happens, turn the switch OFF and unplug the
power cord. Carefully pry the kerf open with a
screwdriver and back the blade out of the
workpiece.
Do not feed the workpiece into the blade too
fast while cutting. Only feed the workpiece at
the rate the saw will cut smoothly.
Turn the switch OFF, remove the switch key
and make sure the saw has come to a complete
stop before installing or removing a blade, and
before leaving the work area.
Do not turn the saw ON with the workpiece
touching the blade. Slowly feed the workpiece
into the blade.
When cutting a large workpiece, make sure
the overhanging portion of the workpiece is
supported at saw table height.

WARNING: Keep the extension cord
clear of the working area. Position the cord so
it will not get caught on the workpiece, tools or
any other obstructions while you are working
with the power tool.
Make sure any extension cord used with this
tool is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one of heavy
enough gauge to carry the current the tool will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
The table at right shows the correct size to use
according to cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number the heavier the
cord.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired
and in good condition. Always replace a
damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a
qualified electrician before using it. Protect your
extension cord from sharp objects, excessive
heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your power
tools. This circuit must not be less than 14
gauge wire and should be protected with either
a 15 AMP time delayed fuse or circuit breaker.
Before connecting the power tool to the power
source, make sure the switch is in the OFF
position and the power source is the same as
indicated on the nameplate. Running at lower
voltage will damage the motor.
WARNING: Repair or replace damaged
or worn extension cords immediately.
Select the appropriate extension cord gauge
and length using the chart below.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or
“W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
WARNING: Keep the extension cord
clear of the working area. Position the cord
so it will not get caught on the workpiece,
tools or any other obstructions while you are
working with the power tool.
WARNING: This tool must be grounded

down foot until it touches the blade (4).
5. Lower the hold-down foot until it puts slight
pressure on the scrap workpiece, then turn
the hold-down locking knob clockwise to
lock the hold-down foot in place.
NOTE: When adjusted properly, the hold-down
foot will apply slight pressure to the workpiece to
prevent it from chattering during the sawing
operation.
When the saw table is tilted for bevel cutting, the
hold-down foot angle must be changed to match
the bevel angle.
6. Use a #2 screwdriver to loosen the
hold-down foot pivot adjustment (5).
7. Rotate the hold-down foot until it is parallel
with the saw table, then retighten the pivot
screw.
8. Readjust the hold-down foot height as
noted above.
NOTE: Always make a test cut using a scrap
workpiece to check the cutting angle.
ADJUSTING THE BEVEL ANGLE
1. Loosen the bevel angle locking knob (1) by
turning it counter clockwise (Fig. 9).
2. Tilt the table (2) to the left until the pointer
(3) indicates the correct angle.
3. Tighten the bevel angle locking knob.
4. Adjust the hold-down foot to the correct
angle (Fig. 8).
NOTES:
a) Never attempt to tilt the table for bevel cutting
when the blade is installed in the left hand side
of the blade holder. You will likely break the
blade.
b) When cutting a bevel angle, be careful not to
allow the workpiece to slide sideways on the

INTERIOR CUTTING
To cut an interior piece of a pattern, drill a 1/4"
(6 mm) hole in the interior section that is to be
cut out of the workpiece. Remove the blade
from the scroll saw and insert it through the 1/4"
(6 mm) hole, then reinstall the blade into the
scroll saw. After the interior cut has been made,
remove the blade from the saw and the
workpiece, and reinstall the blade in the scroll
saw for further normal cutting.
RIPPING
Small workpieces can be ripped by clamping a
straight edge onto the saw table at the
appropriate distance from the blade.
NOTE: Make sure the straight edge is exactly
parallel to the blade path to avoid cutting errors
and poor quality cutting action.
GENERAL
WARNING: When servicing, use only
identical replacement parts. The use of any
other part may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
DO NOT use solvents when cleaning plastic
parts. Plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and may
be damaged by their use. Use a clean cloth to
remove dirt, dust, oil, grease etc.
WARNING: Do not allow brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products,
penetrating oils, etc. to come into contact
with plastic parts. They contain chemicals
that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
DO NOT abuse power tools. Abusive practices
can damage the tool and the workpiece.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to modify
tools or create accessories. Any such
alteration or modification is misuse and
could result in a hazardous condition leading
to possible serious injury. It will also void
the warranty.
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles
or safety glasses with side shields during all
sanding operations. It is critical that you also
wear safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shields and a dust mask while blowing
dust out of the scroll saw with an air jet.
Failure to take these safety precautions
could result in permanent eye or lung
damage.
