the Oil Bushings.
NOTICE: Do not attempt to oil the motor
bearings or service the motor internal parts.
2. Carefully place the Scroll Saw on its
side as shown in Figure A:.
3. Squirt a few drips of light oil on the
ends of the Oil Bushings.

overnight to allow the oil to seep in.

the other side of the Scroll Saw.
6. Wipe up excess oil with a cloth.

Oil Bushings
3. Remove Blade from Lower Blade Holder (45)
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.
4. Attach a new five inch Saw Blade through access
hole and hook pins into Lower Blade Holder.
5. 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.
6. Tighten the Blade Tension Knob by turning
clockwise about two full turns.
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:
Material Cut

soft metals, wallboard, hardboard.
