PLAIN-END BLADE REMOVAL AND
INSTALLATION
To avoid injury from accidental starting,
always turn the switch OFF and remove
power cord plug from power source before
removing or replacing the blade.
This scroll saw accepts 5 in. (127 mm) plain-
end or pin-end blades to cut a wide variety of
materials.
Plain-end type blades are recommended
whenever ne, accurate and intricate work
is being performed on 3/4 in. (19 mm) or
thinner material. It will take slightly longer to
assemble and tension the blade, but you will
also be able to use ner blades for cutting a
thinner kerf.

1. Remove the table insert (1) by pushing it
up from under the worktable. (Fig. D)
2. Loosen the blade tension by trurning the
blade tension knob (2) counterclockwise.
