Release the top tension lever, pull the blade out of the top and then follow the above directions.  The bottom blade clamp barrel holds the blade in a "V" notch and should slide out from between the aluminum lower arm (with the "V" notch) and the plastic clamp holder.

So I re-read your question and my answer my not be what you're looking for.  But...

The lower blade clamp is barrel shaped and may or may not have a knob on it.  Regardless of the knob, there is a slot on the table that will fit one end of the barrel.  Slide that end into that slot and if there is a knob, turn the knob to release.  If no knob is present you may need to buy new holders from Bushton (Hawk).  However, I have been using Jet lower blade holders with no issues whatsoever.  Hawk $19.99 plus shipping each, Jet 3 for $19.99 and free shipping from Amazon with Prime.

Hi folks.  I'm Stevan (same as Steven) and I am from Lexington, KY.  Even though I've owned a scroll saw (Delta Type 1 SS200) for several years I have never really done any scrolling with it.  My workshop is my garage that I have to share with two Nissan Murano's but luckily my wife lets me move my Murano in and out as needed. .  Her Murano (for some reason) is not allowed to stay outdoors for any extended period of time.

Hope to pick up some good tips and info here.
