RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)

m USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Makesure your extension cord is in good condition.When using an extension cord, be sure to useone heavy enough to carry the current yourproduct will draw. An undersized cord will causea drop in line voltage resulting in loss of powerand overheating. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of atleast 18 is recommended for an extension cord25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the nextheavier gage. The smaller the gage number, theheavier the cord.

INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODI-CALLY and replace if damaged.

DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing,gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or otherjewelry. They can get caught and drew you intomoving pads. Rubber gloves and nonslipfoot-wear are recommended. Also wear protectivehair covering to contain long hair.

ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITHSIDE SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have onlyimpact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safetyglasses.

PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dustmask if the cutting operation is dusty.

PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearingprotection during extended pedods of operation.

SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to holdwork when practical. It's safer than using yourhand and it frees both hands to operate tool.

DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing andbalance at all times.

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep toolssharp and clean for better and safer perfor-mance. Follow instructions for lubricatingandchanging accessodes.

DISCONNECT ALL TOOLS. When not in use,before servicing, or when changing attachments,blades, bits, cutters, etc., all tools should bedisconnected from power supply.

AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Be sureswitch is off when plugging in.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Theuse of improper accessories may cause risk ofinjury.

NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Sedous injury couldoccur if the tool is tipped or if the blade is unin-tentionally contacted.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use

of the tool, a guard or other part that is damagedshould be carefully checked to determine that it

will operate propedy and perform its intendedfunction. Check for alignment of moving pads,binding of moving pads, breakage of pads, sawstability, mounting and any other conditions thatmay affect its operation. A guard or other partthat is damaged must be properly repaired orreplaced by a qualified service technician at aSears store to avoid dsk of personal injury.

DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a bladeor cutter against the movement of the blade orcutter only.

NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-TENDED. TURN THE POWER OFF. Do notleave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Use the rightblade size, style and cutting speed for thematedal and the type of cut. Blade teeth shouldpoint down toward the table. Sharp bladesminimize stalling and kickback. Correctly adjustblade tension.

TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR and minimizeblade breakage, ALWAYS adjust the hold downfoot until it rests on top of the workplece toprevent the workplece from lifting while cutting,but not so much that the workpiece drags. Neveroperate the saw with any guard or cover re-moved. Make sure all guards are operatingpropedy before each use.

KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA.

Do not hand hold pieces so small that yourfingers go under the blade guard. Never reachunderneath work or behind, under, or withinthree inches of the blade and its cutting path withyour hands and fingers for any reason. Do notattempt to remove cut matedal when blade ismoving.

_1, WARNING: Blades coast after turn off.

• AVOID PINCHING THE BLADE. Be cautiouswhen cutting off matedal which is irregular incross section. For example, molding must lay flaton the table and not be permitted to rock.

• DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never yank cord todisconnect it from receptacle. Keep cord fromheat, oil, and sharp edges.

INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and ifdamaged, have repaired by a qualified servicetechnician at a Sears store. Stay constantlyaware of cord location and keep it well awayfrom the rotating blade.

DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOTTURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switchesreplaced by a qualified service technician at aSears store.

• Turn off and unplug the saw.

_k WARNING: Failure to ur_plugyour saw couldresult in accidental starting causing possibleserious personal injury.

Tension adjusting knob is on the top of the saw.See Fi ure 5. Rotate the quick release knob(outer, larger knob) 114turn to the left or counter-clockwise to release blade tension.

Fig. 14

• Rotate quick release knob to the dght or clock-wise 114 turn to engage tension before using thescroll saw.

Check tension by the sound the blade makes whenplucked like a guitar string. This method of addingtension to the blade can be developed with practiceand requires knowing your scroll saw.

• Pluck the back straight edge of blade whileturning tension adjusting knob. Sound should bea musical note. Sound becomes less flat astension increases. Sound decreases with toomuch tension.

Note: Be careful not to over tension the blade. Toomuch tension may cause blade to break as soon asyou start cutting. Too little tension may cause blade tobend or break before teeth wear out.

This scroll saw is designed to cut wood, wood compo-sition products, plastic, and nonferrous metals (alumi-num, brass, copper).

WARNING: The operation of any power toolcan result in foreign objects being thrown intoyour eyes, which can result in severe eyedamage. To avoid serious personal injury, galways wear safety goggles or safety glasseswith side shields.

GENERAL OPERATION

Please read and understand the following itemsconcerning your scroll saw before attempting to usethe saw.

• There is a learning curve for each person whowants to use this saw. During that period of time,it is expected that some blades will break untilyou learn how to use and adjust the saw.

• Allow the saw to cut material by guiding theworkpiece into the blade as it moves. Do notforce the work.

• The blade teeth cut material only on the downstroke.

You must guide the workpiece into the bladeslowly because the teeth of the blade are verysmall and can only remove material on the downstroka.

• Scroll saw blades wear out and must be replacedfrequently for best cutting results. Scroll sawblades generally stay sharp for 112 hour to 2hours of cutting, depending on type of materialand speed of operation.

• To get accurate cuts, be prepared to compen-sate for the blade's tendency to follow the woodgrain as you are cutting wood.

• In cutting wood, best results are achieved whencutting wood less than one inch thick.

• When cutting wood thicker than one inch, theuser must guide the workpiece very slowly intothe blade and take extra care not to bend or twistthe blade while cutting.

When choosing a blade to use with your scrowsaw, consider the following carefully:

• Very fine, narrow blades should be used toscroll cut in thin material 1/4 in. thick or less.

• Most blade packages state the size or thick-ness and type of material which that blade isintended to cut. Package should also state theradius, or size of curve, which can be cut withthat blade.

• Wider blades cannot cut curves as tight orsmall as thinner blades.

• Blades wear faster:

• When cutting plywood and other laminates.

• When cutting material thicker than 3/4 in.

• When cutting hardwood.

• When side pressure is applied to the blade.

SWITCHSee Fiure 14.

Your scroll saw has an easy access power On/Offswitch. To lock the switch in the Off position, removethe switch key from the switch. Place the key in alocation that is inaccessible to children and others notqualified to use the tool.

SPEED SWITCHSee Fiure 14.

The speed switch, beside the ON/OFF switch, allowsyou to choose a high speed of approximately 1725SPM (Strokes Per Minute) or a low speed of approxi-mately 825 SPM.

• Use the high speed when cutting hard woods, alarge radius, or rough cut out.

• Use the low speed when cutting soft woods, asmall radius, or intricate details. Slow down whenprecision cutting is needed.

16

INTERIOR SCROLL CUTTING

See Fiure 15. g

• One of the features of a scroll saw is that it canbe used to make scroll cuts on the interior of aboard without breaking or cutting through theedge or perimeter of the board.

_k WARNING: To avoid possible serious injuryfrom accidental starting, always turn the switchOFF, remove the switch key, and remove plugfrom power source outlet before removing orreplacing the blade.

• To make interior cuts in a board, remove thescroll saw blade as explained inthe InstallingBlades section on page 14.

• Ddll a 1/4 in. hole in the board to be used tomake interior cuts.

• Place the board on the saw table with the hole inthe board over the access hole in the table.

• Install blade through hole in board then adjustthe hold down foot and the blade tension. See

pages 14 and 15.

• When finished making the interior scroll cuts,simply remove the blade from the blade holdersas described in the Installing Blades section,and remove the board from the table.

STACK CUTTINGGee Fi ure 16,

After becoming well acquainted with your saw throughpractice and experience, you may wish to try stackcutting. Stack cutting may be used when severalidentical shapes need to be cut. Several pieces ofwood may be stacked on top and secured to eachother before cutting. The wood pieces may be joinedtogether by placing double sided tape between eachpiece or by wrapping masking tape around thecomers or ends of the stacked wood. You must attachthe stacked pieces of wood to each other so they will-move on the table as a single piece of material.

,_ WARNING: To avoid possible, serious personalinjury, do not cut more than one loose piece ofmaterial at a time.

WOOD

CAUTION: If the blade is jammed due toaggressive cutting, and the motor stalls, turn offthe power switch. Remove wood. Turn sew backon to resume cutting.

BEFORE EACH USE:

• INSPECT YOUR SAW. Disconnect the saw. Toavoid injury from accidental starting, tum theswitch OFF and unplug the saw before changingthe setup or removing covers, guards, or blade.

• INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE. Make sure thereare no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece tobe cut.

• USE EXTRA CAUTION WITH LARGE, VERYSMALL, OR AWKWARD WORKPIECES.

• Never use this tool to cut pieces too small to holdby hand.

• Always use extra supports (tables, saw homes,blocks, etc.) for any workpiece large enough totip when not held down to the table top.

• Never use another person as a substitute for atable extension, or as additional support for aworkpiece or to help feed, support, or pull theworkpiece.

• When cutting an irregularly shaped workpiece,plan your work so it will not pinch the blade. Apiece of molding, for example, must lay flat or beheld by a fixture or jig that will not let it twist,rock, or slip while being cut.

• Properly support round material such as dowelrods. They have a tendency to rollduring a cut,causing the blade to "bite." To avoid this, always =use a "v" block.

• Clear everything except the workpiece andrelated support devices off the table beforeplugging into power and turning the saw on.PLAN THE WAY YOU WILL HOLD THEWORKPIECE FROM START TO FINISH. Do not

hand hold pieces so small that your fingers willgo under the work hold-down.

BEFORE FREEING ANY JAMMED MATERIAL:

Turn switch OFF.

Wait for all moving parts to stop.

Unplug the saw.

WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE WORKPIECE,THE BLADE MAY BIND IN THE KERF (CUT).THIS IS USUALLY CAUSED BY SAWDUSTCLOGGING UP THE KERF. IF THIS HAPPENS:

• Turn switch OFF.

• Wait for all moving parts to stop.

• Unplug the saw.

• Remove the blade from the blade holders.

• Remove the workpiece with blade from the table.

• Remove blade from workpiece.

A WARNING: Before removing loose pieces fromthe table, tum saw off and wait for all movingparts to stop to avoid serious personal injury.

18

_i, WARNING: When servicing, use only identicalCraftsman replacement parts. Use of any otherpart may create a hazard or cause productdamage.

& WARNING: To prevent accidental starting thatcould cause possible serious personal injury,turn off and unplug the saw before maintaining orlubricating your scroll saw.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Keep your Scroll Saw clean.

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

ARM BEARINGSSee Fi ure 17.

Lubricate the arm bearings after every 50 hours ofuse or whenever there is a squeak coming from thebearings.

• Carefully place the saw on its side as shown inFi ure17.

Squirt a few drops of SAE20 oil in the small holein the middle of the slot. Lubricate both upperarm and lower arm bearings. Let oil soak inovernight, remaining in this position.
