ADJUSTING & OPERATING
YOUR SCROLL SAW
ADJUSTING DROP FOOT AND BLOWER
1. After placing your workpiece on the table (before turning scroll saw to the “On” po-
sition), the drop foot (A) Fig.7 must be adjusted just above the top but not in contact
with the workpiece. Loosen drop foot lock knob (B), lower drop foot assembly to
recommended height and retithern lock knob (B).
2. Position the blower tip (C) Fig.7 so that it points directly at the blade. Loosen screw
(D), pivot blower tip in the recommended position and retighten screw.
USING ON/OFF SWITCH WITH REMOVABLE SAFETY KEY
The On/Off switch (A) Fig.8 is used to turn the scroll saw on and off. To turn the scroll
saw “On”, move the switch upwards (On position), to turn the scroll saw “Off”, move
the switch downwards (Off position).
This switch comes with a removable safety key (B). When the safety key is removed
from the switch and placed in a safe location, unauthorized persons or children can’t
turn the switch to the On position. It is recommended to always remove the safety
key from the switch whenever the scroll saw is not in use. To remove the safety switch,
make sure the switch is in the Off position and simply pull out the safety key.
ADJUSTING SCROLL SAW SPEED
This scroll saw is capable of 550-1,650 strokes per minute (SPM), the speed is
controlled by the variable speed control dial (C) Fig.8. Turning the control dial
clockwise will increase the blade speed, turning the control dial counterclockwise will
decrease the blade speed.
REMOVING AND INSTALLING BLADES
PIN BLADES
1. Rotate the blade tension knob (A) Fig.9 counterclockwise to release the blade ten-
sion.
2. Remove the table insert (A) Fig.10 and loosen the top and bottom lock knobs (B &
C), then remove the blade (D) from the upper and lower blade holders (E) by pulling
forward on the 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
the blade from the upper holder.
3. To install a new pin blade, repeat steps 1 to 2 backwards. Make sure the blade
teeth are pointing downwards towards you and retighten the blade tension knob
(A) Fig.9.
PINLESS BLADES
1. Rotate the blade tension knob (A) Fig.9 counterclockwise to release the blade ten-
sion.
2. Remove the table insert (A) Fig.10 and loosen the top and bottom lock knobs (B &
C), then remove the blade (D) from the upper and lower blade holders (E) by pulling
forward on the blade and then lifting the blade through the access hole in the table.
3. To install a new pinless blade, repeat steps 1 and 2 backwards. Make sure the
pinless end of the blade is positioned securely inbetween the blade holders (E).
Also make sure the blade teeth are pointing downwards towards you and
retighten the blade tension knob (A) Fig.9. Do not overtighten the blade tension
knob, this may cause the blade to slip out of one or both blade holders.
