SAWDUST COLLECTION PORT (FIG. E)

This scroll saw will accept a hose or vacuum accessory (not provided) to be connected to the port (1) on the right side of base. If excessive sawdust buildup occurs inside the base, use a wet /dry vacuum cleaner or manually remove sawdust by removing the screws on the left side of saw. Reattach the metal plate and screws before starting the saw. This will keep your saw cutting efficiently.

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).
