Overload Protector

Your scroll saw is equipped with a 3 amp overload protection fuse. If your scroll saw becomes overloaded and stops operating, turn off the scroll saw, check for a blown fuse by removing the fuse cap (Figure 11). Your scroll saw uses fuse #3AG Fast Acting, 1 1/4" long x 1/4" diameter.

Maintenance

BRUSHES

Inspect carbon brushes regularly by unplugging tool, removing the brush inspection cap (Figure 11) and withdrawing the brush assembly. Keep brushes clean and sliding freely in their guides. Always replace a used brush in the same orientation in the holder as it was prior to its removal. If the brush is worn down to 3/8", it must be replaced. Use only identical DEWALT brushes. New brush assemblies are available

DW788 specifications

The DeWalt DW788 is a top-tier scroll saw designed for both professionals and woodworking enthusiasts. Renowned for its durability, precision, and user-friendly features, this tool has gained a loyal following in the woodworking community.

One of the standout features of the DW788 is its powerful 1.3-amp motor. This motor provides ample torque and speed, allowing users to cut through a variety of materials, including hardwood, plywood, and even softer materials like plastic. The saw operates at a variable speed ranging from 400 to 1,750 strokes per minute, enabling precise control over the cutting process for intricate designs and detailed work.

The DW788 is equipped with a dual parallel-link arm system that significantly reduces vibration, ensuring smoother, more accurate cuts. This technology helps maintain the saw’s stability while in use, leading to cleaner edges and reduced strain on the user. Moreover, the arm's design allows for improved visibility of the workpiece, facilitating greater accuracy during cutting.

Another notable characteristic is the saw's blade tensioning system, which makes changing blades fast and easy. Users can quickly and effortlessly switch between different types of blades, such as reverse-tooth blades for a smoother finish or skip-tooth blades for faster cuts. This versatility makes the DW788 an all-around solution for various cutting tasks.

Additionally, the DW788 features a large, tabletop design that provides ample working space for larger projects. The 20 inches of throat capacity means that users can tackle larger pieces of wood without feeling restricted. The onboard dust blower also helps maintain visibility by keeping the cutting line clear of debris, enhancing precision.

Built with user comfort in mind, the DW788 boasts an adjustable saw arm that allows for a 45-degree angle tilt, great for making bevel cuts. The included scroll saw stand and vibration-dampening rubber feet further enhance stability and comfort during cutting sessions.

With its blend of power, precision, and user-friendly features, the DeWalt DW788 scroll saw stands out in the woodworking tool market, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to invest in a high-quality scroll saw that can handle a wide range of projects.
