User manual SKIL 3335-01

[. . . ] Failure to follow the safety rules listed below and other basic safety precautions may result in serious personal injury. 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. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES When not in use, before servicing, when changing blades, bits, cutters, etc. [. . . ] 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Loosen the screw (4) holding the bevel scale pointer and position pointer to 0°. Attach the blade guard foot (1) using the hex key (2), so that the foot rests flat against the table. Note: Avoid setting the edge of the table against the top of the motor, which could cause noise when the saw is running. Before operating the saw, it must be firmly mounted to a workbench or another rigid frame. Use the base of the saw to mark and pre-drill the mounting holes If the saw is to be used in one location, permanently secure it to the work surface using wood screws if mounting to wood. To reduce noise and vibration, install a soft foam pad (not supplied) between the scroll saw and the workbench. [. . . ] Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade by guiding and pressing the workpiece down against the table. When the cut is complete, move the trailing edge of the workpiece beyond the blade guard foot. Move the blade guard foot to the highest position by loosening the height adjustment knob (3). Tilt the table to the desired angle by loosening the table bevel lock handle (4) and moving the table to the proper angle using the degree scale and the pointer (5). [. . . ]
