GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Keep work area clear - Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
2. Consider work area environment
• Do not expose tools to rain.
• Do not use tools in damp or wet locations.
• Keep work area well lit.
• Do not use tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
3. Guard against electric shock - Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerators).
4. Keep other persons away - Do not let persons, especially children, not involved in
the work touch the tool or the extension cord and keep them away from the work
area.
5. Store idle tools - When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry locked-up place,
out of reach of children.
6. Do not force the tool - It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
intended.
7. Use the right tool
• Do not force small tools to do the job of a heavy duty tool.
• Do not use tools for purposes not intended; for example do not use circular
saws to cut tree limbs or logs.
8. Dress properly
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, they can be caught in moving parts.
• Non-skid footwear is recommended when working outdoors.
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
9. Use protective equipment
• Use safety glasses.
• Use face or dust mask if working operations create dust. <II
10. Connect dust extraction equipment - If the tool is provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collecting equipment, ensure these are connected and
properly used.
11. Do not abuse the cord - Never yank the cord to disconnect it from the socket. Keep
the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
12. Secure work - Where possible use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is safer than
using your hand.
13. Do not overreach - Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

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.

MOUNTING THE SCROLL SAW
BOLTING THE SCROLL SAW ONTO A WORKBENCH
1. It is recommended that this saw is securely mounted onto a robust
workbench. We recommend that you use the following fixings (not
supplied).
• 4 x Hex bolts M8
• 4 x Hex nuts M8
• 4 x Flat washer Ø 8 mm
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 CONNECTING TO THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
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.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com
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.
