3. Squirt a few drips of light oil on the
end of the Oil Bushings.
4. Leave the Scroll Saw in this position over
night to allow the oil to seep in.
5. The next day, repeat steps 1 to 4 on
the other side of the Scroll Saw.
6. Wipe up excess oil with a cloth.
WARNING! If the supply cord of this
power tool is damaged, it must be replaced
only by a qualified service technician.
3. Remove Blade from Lower Blade Holder
(40) 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 (5") Saw Blade through access hole
and hook pins into Lower Blade Holder (40).
5. Attach upper Saw Blade hook pins into the Upper
Blade Holder (37). Make sure the pins of the
Blade are in the slots of the Blade Holders.
6. Tighten the Blade Tension Knob (21) 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 5" long and
have the cross pin for mounting. These are used for
cutting various types of materials as listed below:
Material cut
Medium turns on 1/4 to 1-3/4" wood,
soft metals, wallboard, hardboard.
Same as above except for wood.
Cuts wood from 1/8 to 1-1/2" thick.
Extra thin cuts on soft woods and
other materials up to 1/4".
