Installing Blades

To install the blade:

1.Disconnect the machine from the power source.

2.Feed the blade through the table and hook it into the lower blade holder as shown in Figure 8. The blade teeth should face for- ward and down.

Figure 8. Blade attached to both holders.

3.Push down on the upper arm and slide the upper end of the blade into the holder. Make sure that the pins are seated into the grooves in both arms.

4.Increase the tension on the blade until the blade gives a musical sound when plucked.

Note—Determining correct blade tension is subjective and is learned through experi- ence. If the blade is not tensioned enough the blade will drift off the layout line when cutting. The scroll saw will also have exces- sive noise and vibration. If the blade is too tight the blade could break, causing serious injury. Blades that are tensioned correctly will last longer and are less likely to break.

5.Replace the throat plate and lower the blade guards into position.

Test Run

Once the assembly is complete, the machine needs to be tested. The purpose of the test run is to ensure that there are no problems.

To test run the scroll saw:

1.Remove all tools from the scroll saw.

2.Turn the variable speed setting down to 425 SPM.

3.Plug the saw into the power source. Flip the switch ON. Keep your finger ready to turn the scroll saw OFF.

4.Listen for any unusual noises, vibrations or rubbing. If anything sounds unusual, stop the saw immediately.

5.Disconnect the machine from the power source and find the source of the problem before operating further.

NOTE—If you cannot locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, feel free to con- tact our service department for help.

Before starting the saw, make sure you have performed the preceding assembly and adjustment instructions, and you have read through the rest of the manual and are familiar with the various functions and safety issues associated with this machine. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury.
