I enjoy my ol' yeller but I'm still a bottom feeder.  I keep bending blades when I try to top feed.

If you don't have a compressor buy a can of compressed air at the local electronics place and blow out the switch before you tape over the switch in the on position.  Blow it out and click it back and forth and blow it out again.  When it turns on and off several times without failure then turn it on and then tape over the switch to keep dust out in the future.  Just trying to make sure you get it cleaned out before you tape over it.

Janet,
I sincerely apologize.  I should have said to unplug your saw prior to trying any repairs. I hope you were not injured.  I assumed you would have it unplugged.  My fault for assuming.

Insert a small screwdriver and gently push down. The fuse holder will pop open and expose the fuse.

This was why I mentioned the flat wrench that came with your saw.  It fits into that slot for the fuse holder.

Your saw came with a small flat wrench.  You can also use a screw driver.  If the fuse is bad it will look burnt and the metal bar inside will be broken.  Try blowing out the switch first.  I'll almost bet that is the problem.

Did you find the fuse?  That is the first thing to check.  If the fuse is okay then use a compressor to blow the sawdust out of the switch.  Then buy that foot switch and place tape over the switch, it is the number 1 complaint about our ol yellers.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: What do you consider the ONE most important thing in using a scrollsaw?

« on: April 30, 2010, 12:29:15 am »

I agree with what others have already contributed. I would add, it is extremely important to learn not to be so critical of your work.  Remember how many people you make smile with your gifts.  They do not see the flaws only the good intention.

Be sure you  the right tension.  I have never been a fan of spiral blades they always seem to have a mind of their own, where I am concerned anyway.
