CLEANING

• Keep your scroll saw clean.

• After cleaning the table top initially, apply a thin coat of automobile type (paste) wax to the table top so the wood slides

easily while cutting.

• Do not allow pitch to accumulate on the saw table. Clean with gum and pitch remover.

LUBRICATION (Fig. 17)

Lubricate the arm bearings (one on each side of the saw)

after the rst 10 hours of use. Oil after every 50 hours of use

or whenever there is a squeak coming from the bearings.

• Carefully place the saw on its side, as shown in Figure 17.

Remove the rubber cap from the upper and the lower arm

of the saw.

• Squirt a few drops of SAE20 oil around the shaft end and

arm bearings. Let oil soak in overnight, remaining in this

position.

FIG. 17

BRUSH REPLACEMENT (Fig. 18)

• Your saw has externally accessible motor brush assemblies

that should be checked after 50 hours of use for wear.

When one of the two brushes becomes worn to 1/16"

(2 mm) in length, replace both brushes.

• Unplug the saw from the power source.

• Loosen and remove the two brush caps (A) using a

screwdriver.

• Pull out each brush (B). Inspect the brush and replace if

necessary. Replace both brushes even if only one is

damaged.

• Position the brushes in the motor. Tighten the brush caps snugly. Do not overtighten.

FIG. 18

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: You lubricate the bearings on the other

side of the saw in this same manner.

CAUTION: After inspecting the brushes, be sure to

re-install the brushes in the same position that they were in

if you are not installing new ones.

WARNING: When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. The use of any other parts may create a hazard

or cause damage to the tool.

WARNING: Always switch the product off, disconnect it from the power supply and let the product cool down

before performing inspection, maintenance, lubrication and cleaning work!
