- 1). Unplug the scroll saw before handling the blade.
- 2). Install the bottom of the blade. Tighten the blade holder screws gently.
- 3). Thread the wood over the blade.
- 4). Attach the blade into the top holder. Hold the blade with one hand. Apply tension to the blade with the cam-lock lever with the other hand. The blade should be taut and not move from side to side when pressed lightly with a finger.
