Installing blades
Caution. Always ensure that the saw is switched off and
unplugged from the mains
supply before removing or
installing a blade.
1. Lift up the blade tension
lever (12) to reduce the
blade tension.
2. Remove the table insert
(11) by raising it with a
screwdriver.
3. Loosen the upper and
lower blade adapter
knobs (14). Ensure that
the slots on the upper
and lower blade adapters
are wider than the
thickness of the blade.
4. In order to cut effectively
and avoid uncontrollable
lifting of the workpiece,
the teeth of the scroll
saw blade must always
point in a downward
direction.
5. Insert the blade in the
lower blade adapter and
tighten the blade adapter
knob.
6. Press the upper arm
down and insert the top
part into the upper blade
adapter and tighten the
blade adapter knob.
7. Lower the blade tension
lever to secure the blade
in position.
8. If the tension is too tight
when lowered, lift the blade tension lever back up
and turn it in an anti-clockwise direction to loosen
the blade tension.
9. If the tension is too loose when lowered, lift the
blade tension lever back up and turn it in a clockwise
direction to tighten the blade tension.
10. Replace the table insert.
Setting the table for horizontal
or bevel cutting
Caution. Always ensure that the saw is switched off and
unplugged from the mains supply before making any
adjustments.
1. Loosen the table lock
knob (17) to allow the
saw table to be tilted
to the left and right.
The table can be locked
at any angle from a
0º horizontal cutting
position up to a 45º
angle both to the left and
right for bevel cutting.
2. A bevel adjustment scale (16) is positioned under
the work table to assist in setting the appropriate
table angle for bevel cutting. When greater precision
is required, make a practice cut first and then adjust
the table as necessary for your requirements.
Note. When bevel cutting, the drop foot (8) can be
tilted so it’s parallel to the table and rests flat against
the workpiece. To tilt the drop foot, loosen the Allen
screw at the front of the drop foot assembly and then
tilt the foot so that it’s parallel to the table, re-tighten
the Allen screw to secure the drop foot in place.
