Steele Products SP-PB130 - Manual (Page 6)

The exposed and unpainted scroll saw surfaces
are coated with a waxy oil to prevent rust dur-
ing storage and shipment. DO NOT use chlorine
based solutions or solvents to remove the this
waxy oil, or you will damage the painted sur-
faces. Remove the waxy oil with a solvent based
degreaser before you use the scroll saw. Always
follow all usage and safety instructions of the
product that you are using.
ONLY ALLOW TRAINED
PEOPLE in your shop! Make
sure shop entrances are
locked and machines are
correctly turned off with
lock-out devices when not
in use. Otherwise, injury
or death can occur.
DO NOT use flammables
such as gas or other
petroleum-based solvents
to clean your machine.
These products have low
flash points and present
the risk of explosion and
severe personal injury!
DO NOT smoke while
using cleaning solvents.
Smoking may cause
explosion or risk of fire
when exposed to these
products!
ALWAYS work in a well
ventilated area when
using solvents with
fumes, and keep away
from any potential igni-
tion sources (pilot
lights). Most solvents
used to clean machinery
are toxic when inhaled
or ingested. Always dis-
pose of waste rags in a
sealed container to make
sure they do not cause
fire or environmental
hazards.
For information on the correct dust collection
components for the scroll saw, contact your
Steele products corp. dealers for a copy of the
Dust Collection Basics handbook and available
accessories.
THIS MACHINE produces
sawdust that may cause
allergic reactions or res-
piratory problems. Wear
a respirator in addition to
using a dust collection
system.

Shop Preparation
Š Lighting:Lighting should be bright enough
to eliminate shadows and prevent eye
strain.
Š Working Clearances: Consider your current
and future shop needs with respect to the
safe operation of this machine.
Š Outlets: Make sure the electrical circuits
have the capacity to handle the amperage
requirements for your Model SP-PB130. Refer
to page 9 for more information. Electrical
outlets should be located near the lathe, so
power or extension cords are clear of high-
traffic areas.

To prepare the table surface for workpieces,
do these steps:
UNPLUG POWER CORD
before you do any assem-
bly or adjustment tasks!
Otherwise, serious per-
sonal injury to you or oth-
ers may occur!
Read and understand this
entire instruction manual
before performing any
operations with your
machine. Serious personal
injury may occur if safety
and operational informa-
tion is not understood and
followed.
Figure 2. Blade guard mounting location.
The scroll saw can be mounted to a workbench
two ways:
• Permanent mounting can be accomplished
by bolting the base to the workbench.
Because workbench table thickness can
vary, fasteners have not been supplied.
• Temporary mounting can be accomplished
by securing the base of the scroll saw to a
piece of
3 /4" plywood that measures at least
21" x 14". The scroll saw/plywood assembly
can then be temporarily clamped to a work-
bench or other suitable working surface.
Vibration caused by operating the scroll saw can
be reduced by placing a foam pad or piece of
carpet between the saw base and the workbench.
The blade guard must be installed before turn-
ing the scroll saw ON and before performing a
cutting operation.
To install the blade guard, do these steps:
1.
2. Using the supplied screw, nut, and washers,
install the clear blade guard onto the drop
foot rod ( Figure 2 ). Over-tightening the
bolt could break the clear plastic arms of
the blade guard.
3. Swing the blade guard up and down to
ensure that it moves smoothly.
