Fig 8.29
Remove both blind set screw screws from each adaptor, thread them
through the adjacent holes and fit the blade as shown in
Fig 8.26 . The
plain-blade setting jig on the machine arm should be used for setting the
adaptors in the correct positions as shown in
Fig 8.27 , with the adaptors
placed on their sides.
The blade can now be fitted as shown in
Fig 8.28 . When the adaptors are
fitted to the blade holders on the machine, the blade will be at 90º to the
arm of the scrollsaw as shown.
When fitting blades at 90º, the drop foot will have to be re-positioned so as
not to touch the blade. To do so, loosen the phillips head screw, re-position
the drop foot and re-tighten the screw as shown in
Fig 8.24
.
Using the Work Light
To use the work light, position the flexible arm to illuminate the work piece
as shown in
Fig 8.29
. When the power switch is turned on, the light will
be operational.
In the event of a Blockage
Extreme care should be taken when cutting to prevent the blade from
becoming trapped in the work piece. In the event that the blade does
become trapped, switch the scroll saw OFF immediately by pressing the red
button marked ‘O’ and wait for the machine to come to a complete stop.
Disconnect the machine from the power supply before attempting to free the
blade from the work piece.
In order to free the blade, first release the tension from the blade by rotating
the tension knob anti-clockwise. It may then be necessary to gently prize
apart the work piece to allow the blade to be pulled free. Once the blade is
removed, check it for signs of damage and replace if necessary and adjust to
the correct tension before attempting to re-start the machine.
Dust Extraction
The scrollsaw has a 35 mm diameter dust extraction outlet located at the
front of the machine below the table. A dust extractor should be connected
to the outlet using a hose and connector of the appropriate diameter. The
Record Power DX1500B power tool hose and DX1500C stepped adaptor can
be used for this purpose.
The dust extractor should be switch ON before starting to cut with the
scrollsaw and then left running for a few seconds after the last cutting
operation in order to clear any residual waste left within the outlet and hose.
