NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge

When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the letters "WA" on the cord's jacket.

Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

_ WARNING: Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the cord so that it wil! not get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury.

A

WARNING: Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace immediately.

Never use tool with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTmON

This tool is powered by a precision built electric motor.

It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current}° Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor wilt overheat. If the saw does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double check the power supply.

SPEED AND WRING

The no=load speed of this too! is approximately 1,600 spm. This speed is not constant and decreases under a load or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as important as the motor's horsepower rating. A line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance win be too light for a greater distance. A line that can support one power tool may not be able to support two or three tools.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock, This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment=grounding conduc= tot and a grounding plug, The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances,

Do not modify the plug provided, If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician,

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock, The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor, If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipmentgrounding conductor to a live terminal,

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded,

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately,

This toot is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet like the one shown in figure 1, It also has a grounding pin like the one shown,

[] Cutting wood, wood composition products, plastic, and other fibrous material up to 2 in. thick

[] Cutting nonferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, and copper

_k WARNING: Before starting any cutting operation, clamp or bolt the saw to a workbench.

Never operate the saw on the floor or in a crouched position.

Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.

15

BASIC OPERATION OF THE SCROLL SAW

Before starting a cut, watch the saw run. If you experience excessive vibration or unusual noise, stop immediately.

Turn the saw off, remove the switch key, and unplug saw.

Do not restart until locating and correcting the problem.

NOTE: After the saw is turned ON, a hesitation before blade movement is normal.

CUTTING PROCEDURES

[] During each person's learning period on this saw, it is expected that some blades will break unti! proper use and adjustments are learned.

[] Plan how to hold the workpiece from start to finish.

[] Keep your hands away from the blade. Do not hand hold pieces so small your fingers win go under the blade guard.

[] Hold the workpiece firmly against the saw table.

[] Use gentle pressure and both hands when feeding the work into the blade. Do not force the work.

[] Guide the workpiece into the blade slowly because the teeth of the blade are very small and can only remove material on the down stroke.

[] Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause serious injury from contact with the blade. Never place hands in blade path.

[] To get accurate cuts, compensate for blade's tendency to follow the wood grain as you are cutting wood.

[] Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.) when cutting large, small or awkward workpieces.

[] Neveruseanotherpersonasa substitutefora table extensionor asadditionalsupportfora workpiece is longerorwiderthanthebasicsawtable.

shapedworkpieces, must nottwist,rockor slipwhilebeingcut.

AVOiDiNG iNJURY

[] Make sure saw is level and does not rock. Saw should always be on a firm, level surface with plenty of room for handling and properly supporting the workpiece.

[] Bolt saw to the support surface to prevent slipping, walking or sliding during operations like cutting long, heavy boards.

[] Turn saw off, remove switch key, and unplug cord from the power source before moving the saw.

[] Do not remove jammed cutoff pieces until blade has come to a fu!! and complete stop.

[] Choose the right size and style blade for the material and type of cut you plan to do.

[] Use only recommended accessories.

[] With the exception of the workpiece and related support devises, clear everything off the saw table before turning the saw on.

[] Properly support round materials such as dowel rods or tubing because they have a tendency to ref! during a cut causing the blade to "bite." To avoid this, always use a "V" block or clamp workpiece to a miter gauge

[] Before removing loose pieces from the saw table, turn saw off and wait for all moving parts to stop.

REMOWNG JAMMED MATERIAL

When backing out the workpiece, the blade may bind in the kerf (cut). This is usually caused by sawdust clogging the kerf or when the blade comes out of the blade holders. If this happens:

[] Wait until saw has come to a full and complete stop.

[] Place the switch in the OFF position.

[] Unplug the saw from the power source.

[] Remove the saw's blade and the workpiece.

See

Removing the Saw Blade.

[] Wedge the kerf open with a flat screwdriver or wooden wedge, then remove the blade from the workpiece.

WARMNG: To avoid serious personal injury, turn saw off and wait for all moving parts to stop before removing loose pieces from the table.

BLADE mNFORMATION

[] Scroll saw blades wear out and must be replaced frequently for best cutting results. Scroll saw blades generally stay sharp for 1/2 hour to 2 hours of cutting, depending on type of material and speed of operation,

[] When cutting wood, best results are achieved when cutting wood less than one inch thick.

[] When cutting wood thicker than one inch, the user must guide the workpiece very slowly into the blade and take extra care not to bend or twist the blade while cutting.

Wood, veneer, bone, fiber, ivory, plastic, etc.

[] When choosing a blade, carefully consider the following:

• Very fine, narrow blades should be used to scref! cut in thin material 1/4 in. (6 mm) thick or less.

_ Most blade packages state the size or thickness and type of material which that blade is intended to cut.

The package should also state the radius or size of curve that can be cut with that blade size.

Wider blades cannot cut curves as tight or as small as thinner blades.

[] Blades wear faster when:

Cutting plywood, hardwood, and other laminates.

_ Cutting material thicker than 3/4 in.

Side pressure is applied to the blade.

STACK CUTTING

See Figure 16.

After becoming well acquainted with the saw through practice and experience, you may wish to try stack cut= ting. Stack cutting may be used when several identical shapes need to be cut. Several pieces of wood may be stacked on top and secured to each other before cut= ting. The wood pieces may be joined together by placing double=sided tape between each piece or by wrapping masking tape around the corners or ends of the stacked wood. You must attach the stacked pieces of wood to each other so they wil! move on the table as a single piece of material.

_I1_ WARMNG: To avoid possible serious personal

injury, do not cut more than one loose piece of mate= rial at a time.

See Figure 15.

One convenient feature of a scroll saw is that it can be used to make scroll cuts on the interior of a workpiece without breaking or cutting through the edge or perimeter of the board.

To make interior cuts in the workpiece:

[] Remove the scroll saw blade as explained in the In= stalling Blades section previously in this manual.

[] Dd[[ a 1,/4 in. (6 mm) hole in the workpiece.

[] Place the workpiece on the saw table with the ddlled hole over the access hole in the table.

[] Install the blade through the hole in the workpiece; adjust the drop foot and blade tension.

[] When finished making the interior scroll cuts, simply remove the blade from the blade holders as described

in the Installing Blades section, and remove the workpiece from the saw table.

ADJUSTINGBLADETENSION

See Figure 17.

Adjustments to blade tension can be made at any time.

Check the blade tension by the sound the blade makes when plucked like a guitar string. This method can be developed with practice and requires knowing the scroll saw.

Pluck the back straight edge of blade while turning blade tension knob. The sound should be a musical note. The sound becomes less flat as tension increases, and decreases with too much tension.

To adjust the blade tension:

[] Turn off and unplug the saw from the power source.

Fig. 17

Turn the blade tension knob clockwise to decrease (or loosen) the blade tension.

NOTE: Be careful not to make the blade too loose.

Too little tension may cause the blade to bend or break before the teeth wear out.

Turn the blade tension knob counterclockwise to increase (or tighten) blade tension.

NOTE: Be careful not to adjust the blade too tightly.

Too much tension may cause the blade to break as soon as you start cutting.

,_ WARNING: When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other part may create a hazard or cause product damage.

GENERAL

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.

Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.

_

WARNmNG: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.

WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.

It has been found that electric tools are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure when they are used on fiberglass boats, sports cars, wallboard, spackling compounds, or piaster. The chips and gdndings from these materials are highly abrasive to electric too!

parts such as bearings, brushes, commutators, etc.

Consequently, it is not recommended that this too! be used for extended work on any fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or piaster. During any use on these materials it is extremely important that the tool is cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet.

[] Keep the scroll saw clean.

[] After cleaning the table top initially, apply a thin coat of automobile type (paste) wax to the table top so the wood slides easily while cutting.

[] Do not allow pitch to accumulate on the saw table.

Clean with gum and pitch remover.

2O

ARM BEARINGS

See Figure 18.

Lubricate the arm bearings after the first 10 hours of use.

Oil after every 50 hours of use or whenever there is a squeak coming from the bearings.

[] Carefully place the saw on its side as shown.

[] Remove the rubber cap from the upper and the lower arm of the saw.

[] Squirt a few drops of SAE20 oi! around the shaft end and arm bearings. Let oi! soak in overnight, remaining in this position.

NOTE: Lubricate the bearings on the other side of the saw in this same manner.

MOTOR BRUSHES

See Figure 19.

The saw has externally accessible motor brush assemblies that should be checked periodically for wear. When either one of the two brushes becomes worn, replace both brushes.

[] Unplug the saw from the power source.

[] Carefully place the saw on its side, exposing the underside of the saw housing.

[] Using a flat blade screwdriver, remove the bottom brush assembly cap through the access hole in the base and the top brush assembly cap from the top of the motor.

[] Gently pry the brush assemblies out using a small screwdriver, point of a nail, or paper clip.

[] If one motor brush is worn down shorter than 1/4 in., replace both motor brushes. Do not replace one side without replacing the other.

NOTE: Ensure curvature of brush matches curvature of motor, and that motor brush moves freely in brush tube. Use the blunt end of something thin (eraser end of pencil, etc.) to push the motor brush into the tube until it stays.

[] Ensure the motor brush cap is oriented correctly

(straight), then tighten motor brush cap using a hand powered screwdriver only. Do not overtighten.
