[. . . ] Failure to follow the safety rules listed below and other basic safety precautions may result in serious personal injury. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area. DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER SOURCE When not in use, before servicing, when changing blades, bits, cutters, etc. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE In working order, and in proper adjustment and alignment. [. . . ] 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. The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent overheating and motor burnout, use the table below to determine the minimum wire size (A. Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3pole receptacles which accept the tool's plug. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Your unit is for use on 120 volts; it has a plug that looks like the one in Figure 1. 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 conductor 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. This Scroll Saw is designed to use a 1700 RPM motor. Before connecting the motor cord to power source, make certain the switch is in the "OFF" position and be sure the electric current is of the same characteristics as stamped on the scroll saw nameplate. This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. It should be rechecked prior to use for best operation. Remove the blade guard foot (1) using the hex key (2) to loosen the screw. Loosen the table bevel lock knob (3) and move the table until it is approximately at a right angle to the blade. Loosen the locking nut (5) on the table adjusting screw (6) under the table by turning it counterclockwise. Lower the table adjusting screw by turning it clockwise. Use a combination square (7) to set the table exactly 90° to the blade (8). If there is space between the square and blade, adjust the table angle until the space is closed. Lock the table bevel lock knob under the table (3) to prevent movement. Tighten the adjusting screw under the table until the tip of the screw touches the table. [. . . ] Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade, guiding the workpiece against the straight edge and pressing the workpiece down against the table. Do not force the leading edge of the workpiece into the blade. The blade will deflect, reducing accuracy of cut, and may break. When the cut is complete, move the trailing edge of the workpiece beyond the blade guard foot. [. . . ]
