Pin-End Blades - Grizzly G0734 Owner's Manual

Pin-End Blades

Scroll saw blades are classified as either "pin-
end" (mounting pins in the ends of the blade) or
"plain end" (no pins). The blades included with
your scroll saw are pin-end blades.

1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Rotate the blade tension knob counterclock-
wise to decrease the blade tension.
3.
Position the hold-down shoe at the maximum
height and swing the blade guard up and out
of the way to give you working room.
4.
Remove the table insert, then remove the
screws and lower arm guard shown in Figure
