maintenance (cont.)

oiling arm Bearings

Lubricate the arm bearings (Fig. 19) every 50 hours  

of use or whenever there is a squeak coming from   

the bearings. 

WarninG!

 Failure to unplug your variable speed scroll saw could result 

in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury.

Carefully place the saw on its side and remove the rubber caps from the upper 

and lower arm of the saw.
Squirt a few drops of SAE 20 oil on the end of the shaft and bearings.
Leave the saw in this position overnight to allow the oil time to soak in.
Replace the rubber caps and repeat the above procedure on the opposite side 

of the saw.

carbon brushes 

When the carbon brushes wear out the tool will spark  

and/or stop. Discontinue use as soon as this happens. 

They should be replaced prior to recommencing use of the 

tool. Carbon brushes are a wearing component of the tool 

therefore not covered under warranty. Continuing to use  

the tool when carbon brushes need to be replaced may 

cause permanent damage to the tool. Carbon brushes will 

wear out after many uses but when the carbon brushes need 

to be replaced take the tool to an electrician or a power tool repairer for a quick and 

low cost replacement. Always replace both carbon brushes at the same time.

inspecting or replacing the fuse

When required inspect or replace blown fuse.

Switch off and disconnect variable speed scroll saw from mains power supply.
Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the fuse holder (16)  together with  

the fuse.
Remove fuse from fuse holder (16), inspect and replace with new 3.15 amp fuse 

if required.  A blown fuse is when the filament (thin silver wire) is broken or out 

of is place (not centred). Always replace a fuse with the same amperage rating 

as the one that came out.
Refit fuse holder (16) together with fuse.

 

note: 

Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries caused by 

repair of the scroll saw by an unauthorised person or by mishandling.
