GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1) WORK AREA
1. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
2. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
3. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
4. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in personal injury.
2. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or
a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Well maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE
1. Have your power tool serviced by qualified service personnel using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

SCROLL SAW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Wear safety goggles as protection against flying wood chips and saw dust. In many
cases, a full face shield offers even better protection.
2. A dust mask is recommended to keep saw dust out of your lungs.
3. The scroll saw must be bolted securely to a stand or workbench. If the saw has a
tendency to move during certain operations, bolt the stand or workbench to the
floor.
4. A solid wood workbench is stronger and more stable than a workbench with a
plywood table.
5. This scroll saw is for indoor use only.
6. Do not cut pieces of material which are too small to be held by hand.
7. Clear the work table of all objects except the workpiece (tools, scraps, rulers etc.)
before turning the saw on.
8. Make sure the blades’ teeth are pointing down, toward the table, and that the
blade tension is correct.
9. When cutting a large piece of material, support it at the height of the table.
10. Do not feed the workpiece through the blade too fast. Feed only as fast as the
blade will cut.
11. Keep your fingers away from the blade. Use a push stick as you near the end of the
cut.
12. Take care when cutting a workpiece which is irregular in cross section. Mouldings for
example must lie flat, and not ‘rock’ on the table while being cut. A suitable support
must be used.
13. Switch off the saw, and make sure the blade has come to a complete stop before
clearing sawdust or off-cuts from the table.
14. Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be
sawn.
15. Be extra cautious with very large or small, or irregularly shaped workpieces.
16. Set up the machine and make all adjustments with the power OFF, and
disconnected from the supply.
17. DO NOT operate the machine with the covers off. They must all be in place and
securely fastened when performing any operation
18. Be sure to use the correct blade size and type.
19. Use ONLY approved replacement saw blades. Contact your local CLARKE dealer for
advice. The use of inferior blades may increase the risk of injury.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before switching the product on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is
the same as that indicated on the rating plate. This product is designed to operate on
230VAC 50Hz. Connecting it to any other power source may cause damage.
This product may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to change the
fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover becomes lost or
damaged, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained.
If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or due to
damage, it should be cut off and a replacement fitted, following the wiring instructions
shown below. The old plug must be disposed of safely, as insertion into a mains socket
could cause an electrical hazard.
If the colours of the wires in the power cable of this product do not correspond with the
markings on the terminals of your plug, proceed as follows.
• The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is
marked Nor coloured Black.
• The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal which is
marked Lor coloured Red.
• The wire which is coloured Yellow and Green must be connected to the
terminal which is marked E or or coloured Green.
We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply via a Residual
Current Device (RCD)
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt any repairs yourself.
WARNING! Read these electrical safety instructions thoroughly
before connecting the product to the mains supply.
WARNING! The wires in the power cable of this product are

MOUNTING THE SCROLL SAW
BOLTING THE SCROLL SAW ONTO A WORKBENCH
1. It is recommended that this tool is securely mounted onto a robust
workbench. Fixings are not provided. Be sure to use equipment of at least
the following size:
• 4 x Hex bolts M8
• 4 x Hex nuts M8
• 4 x Flat washer Ø 8 mm
•Rubbermat
2. We recommend that a rubber fine rib matt 420 x 250 x 3 mm (minimum)
13 mm (maximum) is fixed between the workbench and scroll saw to help
minimise vibrations and noise. This mat is not supplied.
• Suitable rubber matting of various thicknesses is available from your
Clarke dealer.
NOTE: Do not over-tighten the screws. Leave enough give for the rubber
mat to absorb any vibration.
WARNING: DO NOT PLUG SAW INTO MAINS UNTIL THE SAW HAS BEEN
FIRMLY MOUNTED TO WORK SURFACE.

BEFORE USE
CHOOSING THE RIGHT BLADE
NOTE: As a rule, select narrow blades for intricate curve cutting and
wide blades for straight and large curve cutting.
Scroll saw blades wear out and must be replaced frequently for optimum
cutting results.
Scroll saw blades generally become dull after 1/2 hour to 2 hours of cutting,
depending on the type of material and speed of operation.
Best results are achieved with pieces less than one inch (25 mm) thick.
When cutting workpieces thicker than one inch (25 mm), you must guide the
blade into the workpiece very slowly and take extra care not to bend or twist
the blade while cutting.
PINLESS BLADE ADAPTOR
The pinless blade adaptor allows you to use blades that don't have locating
pins at each end of the blade.
1. Adjust one set screw on each
adaptor until it covers
approximately half the hole when
viewed from above
2. Loosen the other set screw just
enough to slide an adaptor onto
each end of the blade.
10
3. Place the blade and adaptors
into the gauge on top of the
machine to set the blade to the
proper length.
CUTTING AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE UPPER ARM WHEN USING PINLESS BLADES
• Cutting from the side of the saw will be necessary when your workpiece
exceeds 405mm in length. With the blade positioned for side cutting the
table must always remain in the 0° bevel position.
1. Remove both set screws from each blade adaptor, thread them into the
opposite holes in the blade adaptor perpendicular to the adjustment pin.
BLADE TENSION
• Turning the blade tension knob
counterclockwise decreases
(slackens) blade tension.
• Turning the blade tension knob
clockwise increases (or
tightens) blade tension.
1. Pluck the back straight edge of
the blade while turning the
tension adjusting knob.
• The sound becomes higher pitched as tension increases.
NOTE: Do not over-tension the blade. This will help to prolong the life of
the saw blade.
NOTE: Too little tension may cause the blade to bend or break.
