MOUNTING SCROLL SAW TO WORK SURFACE
(FIG. C)

1.  If mounting the scroll saw to a workbench, a solid 

wood bench is preferred over a plywood board to 
reduce noise and vibration.

2.  The hardware to mount this saw is NOT supplied with 

the saw. The hardware as shown in Fig. C should be 
used:

  

   Fig. C

 

1.  (3) Hex head bolts; length as required
2.  (6) Flat washers
3.  Foam pad or carpet (optional)
4.  (3) Lock washers
5.  (3) Hex nuts
6.  (3) Jam nuts

BLADE STORAGE (FIG. D)

Blade storage is located on the left rear side of the scroll 
saw body. Pull out the blade storage door (1) to open. 
The compartment can conveniently store your hex 
wrenches and both Pin-end and Plain-end blades.

     Fig. D

SAWDUST COLLECTION PORT (FIG. E)

This scroll saw will accept a hose or vacuum accessory 
(not provided) to be connected to the port (1) on the 
right side of base. If excessive sawdust buildup occurs 
inside the base, use a wet /dry vacuum cleaner or 
manually remove sawdust by removing the screws on 
the left side of saw. Reattach the metal plate and screws 
before starting the saw. This will keep your saw cutting 
efficiently.

BLADE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

PLAIN-END BLADE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

This scroll saw accepts 5-inch (127 mm) Plain-end or 
Pin-end blades to cut a wide variety of materials.

Plain-end type blades are recommended whenever fine, 
accurate and intricate work is being performed on 3/4 in. 
(19 mm) or thinner material. It will take slightly longer to 
assemble the blade and blade tension, but you will also 
be able to use finer blades for cutting a thinner kerf.

To avoid injury from accidental starting, always turn 
the switch OFF (O) and remove power cord plug 
from power source before removing or replacing the 
blade.

Plain-end blade removal (FIG. F, G, H)

1.  To remove the blade (1-Fig. G), loosen the blade 

tension by lifting the quick release tension lever 
(2-Fig. F).

Fig. F

2.  Loosen the upper blade holder (3) by turning the 

blade holder lock knob (4) counterclockwise. (Fig. G)

     NOTE:

 The hex set screw (5) on the left side is used 

     for fine adjustments and is only adjusted if the blade   
     is not perpendicular to the table.
