dangerous if not used properly.
Therefore the appropriate general
technical rules as well as the
following notes must be observed.
Read and understand the entire
instruction manual before attempting
assembly or operation.
Keep this operating instruction close
by the machine, protected from dirt
and humidity, and pass it over to the
new owner if you part with the tool.
No changes to the machine may be
made.
Daily inspect the function and
existence of the safety appliances
before you start the machine.
Do not attempt operation in this case,

roll when cutting round pieces.
Use suitable table extensions and
supporting aids for difficult to handle
workpieces.

Never cut pieces that are too small.
During cutting operation the
workpiece must firmly be pressed
against the table surface
Do not perform any operation
freehand.
Remove cut and jammed workpieces
only when motor is turned off and the
machine is at a complete standstill.
Do not reach under the scroll saw
table when the motor is running.
Install the machine so that there is
sufficient space for safe operation
and workpiece handling.
Keep work area well lighted.
The machine is designed to operate
in closed rooms and must be placed
stable on firm and levelled ground.
