BLADE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

PLAIN-END BLADE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

This scroll saw accepts 5-inch (7 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.
