General Maintenance
The motor is permanently lubricated. Do not try to oil the motor
bearings or service any internal parts of the motor. If the power
cord is worn, frayed, cut or damaged, contact Axminster Tools
& Machinery. Do not try to patch it up with electrical tape, this
could lead to more trouble.
WARNING! WEAR A DUST MASK
AND EYE PROTECTION.
Cleaning
1. Remove the scroll saw’s side access panel and table insert
plate. Using an ‘M’ class Vacuum Cleaner, clean the accumulated
dust from inside the lower housing that included the motor
assembly, rocker arm, lower and upper blade holders, table
and the table insert void, see fig 41-42.

2. If you have finished using the scroll saw, clean above and
below the work table and wipe the scroll saw over, see fig 41-42.
3. If the scroll saw is not going to be used for
a period of time, use ‘Ambersil Dry PTFE Film
Antistick’, spray, code 952137 over the work
table to prevent the table from rusting and
place a dust sheet over the scroll saw.
