ADJUSTING THE BLADE DIRECTION (Fig. 16 & 17)
The KNOVA Scroll Saw accepts pinned blades in two
different positions to accommodate a wider variety of
workpieces. Notice the two various slots for pinned blades
that appear on the head of the saw (Fig. 16).
Pinned blades can be placed in either of the two slots,
changing the direction of the blade by 90 degrees.
A coinciding slot exists for each holder underneath the plate.
