Installing Pin-End Blades
Scroll saw blades are classified as either "pin-end"
(mounting pins in the ends of the blade) or "plain end" (no
pins). The blades included with your scroll saw are pin-
end blades.
To install a pin-end blade, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Rotate the blade tension knob counterclockwise to
decrease the blade tension.
3. Remove the table insert.
4. Slide the saw blade down through the table hole so
that the teeth face down and forward.
5. Position the lower pin-ends underneath the V-notch
in the lower blade holder, as shown in Figure 5.
Note: Attempt to wiggle the blade end back-and-
forth with slight pressure to make sure the pins are
seated in the indents of the blade holder.
6. Press the upper blade holder down, then slide the
upper pin-ends onto the V-notch of the upper blade
holder, as shown in Figure 6.
7. Replace the table insert.
8. Properly tension the blade (refer to Adjusting Blade
Tension on Page 17 for detailed instructions).
