REMOVING AND INSTALLING BLADES
WARNING:
To prevent personal injury, always turn saw OFF and disconnect the plug
from the power source before changing blades or making adjustments.
This saw uses pinned and pinless blades. Pinned blades are thicker for stability and for faster assembly.
They provide faster cutting on a variety of materials.
Note:
When installing pinned blades, the slot on the blade holder must be slightly wider than the
thickness of the blade.
Loosen the Blade Tension Knob by turning counterclockwise
about two full turns.
Remove the table insert. Carefully pry up on the table insert to
remove.
Push down slightly on the Upper Rocker Arm and remove Saw
Blade from Upper Blade Holder by pulling forward.
Remove Blade from Lower Blade Holder and pull up through
the access hole.
Note:
The Saw Blade must be installed so that its teeth are
facing forward (front cutting), or to the side (side cutting), and always pointing down.
Attach a new five inch Saw Blade through access hole and hook pins into Lower Blade Holder.
Attach upper Saw Blade hook pins into the Upper Blade Holder. Make sure the pins of the Blade are
in the slots of the Blade Holders.
Tighten the Blade Tension Knob by turning clockwise about two full turns.
Place the table insert back into place.
Note:
The Blade is at the proper tension when the slack is just barely removed. Over or under tensioning
of the blade causes premature breakage during operation.
The Scroll Saw can use a variety of blade widths and thicknesses, as long as they are five inches long and
have the cross pin for mounting. These are used for cutting various types of materials as listed below:
