Rules for Safe Operation
3
1. Be sure to read, understand and follow all safety warnings and
instructions in the supplied Operator’s Manual.
2. Do not operate the saw when tired, distracted, or under the
eects of drugs, alcohol or any medication that impairs reexes
or alertness. Stay alert! Give your work your undivided attention.
3. Keep the work area well lit, clean and free of debris. Cluttered
areas and benches invite injuries.
4. Keep children and shop visitors at a safe distance while
operating the saw; do not permit them to operate the scroll saw.
5. Childproof and tamper proof your shop and all machinery
with locks, master electrical switches and switch keys, to prevent
unauthorised or unsupervised use. Fine particulate dust is a
carcinogen that can be hazardous to health. Work in a well
ventilated area and use a dust collector whenever possible.
7. Wear approved safety glasses, dust mask and nonskid
footwear. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets, necklaces
or jewellery while operating the saw. Keep long hair contained by
wearing protective hair covering.
8. Be sure all adjustment tools, wrenches or other
clutter are removed from the machine and/or the table surface
before operation. When not in use, tools should be locked-up
in a dry place, out of children’s reach and away from ammable
substances.
9. Keep hands well away from saw blade and all moving parts.
Use a brush, not hands, to clear away chips and sawdust.
10. Be sure that the saw blade is properly installed, and in the
correct cutting direction, before operation. Always use a clean,
properly sharpened blade. Dirty or dull blades are unsafe and can
lead to accidents. Also, be sure the blade has gained full operating
speed before beginning to cut.
11. Do not push or force wood into the blade. The saw will perform
better and more safely when working at the rate for which it was
designed. Do not use for purposes not intended.
12. Avoid working from awkward or o balance positions. Do not
overreach while cutting; keep both feet on oor. Never lean over
or reach behind the blade and never pull the work piece through
the cut from behind.
13. Never stand or lean on the saw. Serious injury could occur if the
unit is tipped over or if the blade is unintentionally contacted.
14. Use of parts and accessories NOT recommended by Maxis
Distribution may result in equipment malfunction or risk of injury.
15. Never leave the machine unattended while running or with
the power “ON”.
16. Always turn o and disconnect from power source before
servicing or changing accessories, blades, bits, and cutters, or
before performing any maintenance or adjustments.
17. Make sure that switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging
in the power cord. Do not use the saw if the power switch is
defected, have defective switches replaced by an authorized
service centre.
18. Make sure saw is properly grounded. If equipped with a three
prong plug it should be used with a three-pole receptacle. Never
remove the third prong. Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, stoves, refrigerators).
19. Repairs to the saw should only be carried out by qualied
people using original spare parts. A guard or other damaged part
should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
centre.
20. Inspect power cords and extension wires periodically. If
damaged, have them repaired by an authorized service facility.
Never yank cords and wires and keep away from heat, oil, and
sharp edges.
21. This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use
in wet or damp locations.
To help ensure safe operation, please take a moment to learn the machine’s
applications and limitations, as well as potential hazards. Maxis Distribution Pty
