MAINTENANCE
To ensure that the wood glides smoothly across the work surface, periodically apply a coat of paste wax (sold sepa-
rately) to the surface of the worktable. If the power cord is worn out or damaged in any way, replace it immediately.
Do not attempt to oil the motor bearings or service the motor’s internal parts.
CARBON BRUSH REPLACEMENT
The wear on the carbon brushes depends on how frequently and how heavily the tool is used. To maintain maximum
efficiency of the motor, we recommend inspecting the two carbon brushes every 60 hours of operation or when the
tool stops working.
1. Unplug the saw. To access the carbon brushes, remove the carbon brush cover with a flat-head screwdriver (not
included).
2. Carefully remove the old carbon brushes using pliers. Keep track of which orientation the old carbon brushes
were in to prevent needless wear if they will be reinstalled.
3. Measure the length of the brushes. Install the new set of carbon brushes if either carbon brush length is worn
down to 3/16” or less. Reinstall the old carbon brushes (in their original orientation) if your brushes are not worn
down to 3/16” or less. Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time.
4. Replace the carbon brush cover.
NOTE:
New carbon brushes tend to spark for a few minutes during the first use as they wear down.
WARNING!
Always turn the switch OFF and unplug the power cord from the outlet before maintaining or
lubricating the scroll saw.
LUBRICATION
Lubricate the arm bearings every 50 hours of use.
1. Turn the saw on its side and remove the cover.
2. Squirt a generous amount of SAE 20 oil (lightweight motor
oil, sold separately) around the shaft and bearing.
3. Let the oil soak in overnight.
4. Repeat the above procedure for the opposite side of the saw.
5. The other bearings on your saw are permanently sealed and
require no additional lubrication.
BLADES
To maximize the life of your scroll saw blades:
1. Do not bend blades when installing.
2. Always set proper blade tension.
3. Use the right blade (see instructions on replacement blade
packaging for proper use).
4. Feed the work correctly into the blade.
5. Use thin blades for intricate cutting.
