Additional Safety Rules
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired
by authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords period-
ically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and
free from oil and grease.
Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, out-
let, etc.), be sure voltage supplied is the same as that speci-
fied on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a volt-
age greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious
injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO
NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with a volt-
age less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
For your own safety, do not operate your ScrollStation until it
is completely assembled and installed according to the
instructions...and until you have read and understood the fol-

STABILITY OF SAW
Your ScrollStation must be bolted securely to a stand or
workbench. In addition, if there is any tendency for the Scroll
Station to tip over or move during certain operations, such as
cutting long, heavy boards, bolt your ScrollStation stand or
workbench to the floor.
LOCATION
This ScrollStation is intended for indoor use only.
PROTECTION: Eyes, hands, face, ears and body.
TO AVOID BEING PULLED INTO THE
WARNING

BLADE—
DO NOT WEAR:
• Loose Fitting Gloves
• Necktie
• Loose Clothing
• Jewelry
DO:
• Tie Back Long Hair
• Roll Long Sleeves Above Elbow
a. If any part of your saw is missing, malfunctioning, has
been damaged or broken . . . such as the motor switch, or
other operating control, a safety device or the power
cord...cease operating immediately until the particular part
is properly repaired or replaced.
b. Do not cut piece too small to hold by hand.
HINT: When making a very small cut out, always secure
the workpiece to a scrap piece of plywood with double-
faced tape. This way, the work is supported and your fin-
gers are away from the blade.
c. Never turn your ScrollStation on before clearing the table
of all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.) except for the
workpiece and related feed or support devices for the
operation planned.
d. Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could
cause a hand to move into the blade.
• ALWAYS adjust the drop foot to just clear the workpiece to
protect the operator, keep blade breakage to a minimum
and provide maximum support for blade.
• Always adjust blade tension correctly.
• The ScrollStation should cut on the down stroke. Always
make sure blade teeth are oriented downward toward
table.
• When cutting a large piece of material, make sure it is sup-
ported at table height.
• Hold the work firmly against the table.
• Do not feed the material too fast while cutting. Only feed
the material fast enough so that the blade will cut. Keep
fingers away from the blade.
• Use caution when cutting off material which is irregular in
cross section‚ it could pinch the blade before the cut is
completed. A piece of molding, for example, must lay flat
on the table and not be permitted to rock while being cut.
• Use caution when cutting off round material such as dowel
rods or tubing. They have a tendency to roll while being
cut, causing the blade to "bite".
e. Never leave the ScrollStation running unattended. Turn
the saw OFF, make sure the saw has come to a complete
stop, and then remove plug from power supply before
leaving the work area.
f. Do not perform layout, assembly or setup work on the
table while the cutting tool is operating.
g. Turn saw off and remove plug from power supply outlet
before installing or removing an accessory attachment.
h. Access Door must be closed before operation.
i. Quick Release Tension Lever should be in down position
before operating.
THINK SAFETY
SAFETY IS A COMBINATION OF OPERATOR COMMON
SENSE AND ALERTNESS AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE Scroll
Station IS BEING USED.
Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent

use of your ScrollStation) to become com-
monplace. Always remember that a careless fraction of a
second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
