BLADE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

PLAIN-END BLADE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

This scroll saw accepts 5-inch (127 mm) Plain-end or
Pin-end blades to cut a wide variety of materials.
Plain-end type blades are recommended whenever fine,
accurate and intricate work is being performed on 3/4 in.
(19 mm) or thinner material. It will take slightly longer to
assemble the blade and blade tension, but you will also
be able to use finer blades for cutting a thinner kerf.
WARNING
!
To avoid injury from accidental starting, always turn
the switch OFF (O) and remove power cord plug
from power source before removing or replacing the
blade.
Plain-end blade removal (FIG. F, G, H)
1. To remove the blade (1-Fig. G), loosen the blade
tension by lifting the quick release tension lever
(2-Fig. F).

is not perpendicular to the table.
