before removing or replacing the blade.

Loosen tension on the blade by turning tension 

knob  check  just  until  the  tension  spring  is  fully 

compressed. (See Fig6) Remove blade by pulling 

forward  on  blade  and  then  lifting  the  blade 

through the access hole in the table.

Slight  downward  pressure  against  the  upper 

arm may be helpful when removing blade from 

upper holder. (See Fig7) Look at the blade holders 

closely and notice the blade slots and pin recesses 

in the blade holder. The blade holder is made so 

you  can  position  the  blade  for  cutting  from  the 

front  or  from  the  side  of  the  saw.  Cutting  from 

the side of the saw will be necessary when your 

work  piece  exceeds  406mm  (16  inch)  in  length. 

With  the  blade  positioned  for  side  cutting  the 

table must always remain in the 0 degrees bevel 

position. (See Fig8)

Warning: Do not attempt to cut a bevel 

with  the  blade  positioned  for  side 

cutting.

Mounting the scroll saw to a bench

This saw must be mounted on a solid non 

moving surface ie a heavy duty bench by 

means of suitable bolts(not supplied).We also 

recommend using a soft foam pad between the 

saw and the work surface(not provided) which 

will greatly reduce noice and vibration.

Do not over tighten mounting bolts

Leave some cushion in the foam pad for 

absorbing noise and vibration.

To turn the machine on push the green button 

marked “I”, To turn the machine off, push in the 

red button marked “0”.

Note:

Never leave the machine unattended until it has 

come to a complete stop. Your machine has been 

fitted with the latest type of safety switch and 

will automatically switch to the off position when 

the machine is disconnected from the power 

supply.
