ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCROLL SAWS
1. Wear safety goggles as protection against flying wood chips and saw dust. In many
cases, a full face shield is even better protection. A dust mask is also recommended
to keep saw dust out of your lungs.
2. The scroll saw must be bolted securely to a stand or workbench. If the saw has a
tendency to move during certain operations, bolt the stand or workbench to the floor.
3. A solid wood workbench is stronger and more stable than a workbench with a
plywood table.
4. This scroll saw is for indoor use only.
5. Do not cut pieces of material which are to small to be held by hand.
6. Clear the work table of all objects except the workpiece (tools, scraps ,rulers etc.)
before turning the saw on .
7. Make sure the blades' teeth are pointing down, toward the table, and that the
blade tension is correct.
8. When cutting a large piece of material, support it at the height of the table.
9. Do not feed the workpiece through the blade too fast. Feed only as fast as the
blade will cut.
10. Keep your fingers away from the blade. Use a push stick as you near the end of the cut.
11. Take care when cutting a workpiece which is irregular in cross section. Moulding for example
must lie flat, and not 'rock' on the table as it is being cut. A suitable support must be used.
12. Take care when 'backing off' a workpiece from the blade, as the blade may bind
in the 'kerf'. In this event, switch OFF the machine and disconnect from the supply.
Wedge open the kerf, and withdraw the workpiece.
13. Switch off the saw, and make sure the blade has come to a complete stop before
clearing sawdust or off-cuts from the table.
14. Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be sawn.
15. Be extra cautious with very large or small, or irregularly shaped workpieces.
16. Set up the machine and make all adjustments with the power OFF, and disconnected
from the supply.
17. DO NOT operate the machine with the covers off. They must all be in place and
securely fastened when performing any operation
18. Be sure to use the correct blade size and type.
19. Use ONLY approved replacement saw blades. Contact your local CLARKE dealer
for advice. The use of inferior blades may increase the risk of injury.
