It is possible to replace the balde on your scroll saw when it gets dull. Make sure that you do change the blade to be very careful because the new one will be very sharp. Following the instructions on this site will help you out. http://www.doityourself.com/stry/how-to-change-a-scroll-saw-blade#b

To change blades, a hex-wrench is required and you simply tighten or loosen the allen screw that holds the blade, but unfortunately the saw's design is a bit flawed. It takes a bit of "feeling around" to locate the proper position for the blade changing wrench because the fitting is not visible through the rubberized boot. You can certainly trim and prune trees with the saw, but make sure that the branch is at least 10% thinner than the length of the blade. I do not know your Manzanita tree, but if the wood is wet it should present no problem. Any power saw is extremely dangerous if used at an elevated height like on a ladder. If the ladder slips, there seems to be an almost unnatural tendency to grab for the saw and very often the moving blade. Take the utmost care at all times with power tools. (I have a friend who point blank refuses to use a chain saw unless both his feet are firmly planted on the ground, and he is over 6 foot).

First thing I would check is that the table is square to the blade. If the back edge of the table that pushes the tile through the blade isn't perpendicular to the blade the cut will start fine but as you go through the tile the table will be pushing the tile into the side of the blade and cause a huge amount of friction, making the motor work harder and eventually pop the circuit breaker.

Just use a rag and grab the blade. Unless the threads are messed up you don't have to hold the arbor still, just the blade.

The only tile that they are any decent at cutting would be ceramic, slate, or terracotta. Anything else is way too hard and even cutting the listed tile it's no joy to do. I would suggest using a 4 or 4 1/2" grinder with a diamond blade coupled with a wetsaw. hope this helps and good luck.

remove the blade guard, should be a big nut holding on blade remove that nut install new blade, make sure the rotation arrow on your new blade is going same direction as old blade reinstall the big nut and washer , put guard back on you should be set! good luck

1st, !!UNPLUG the saw!! Wear gloves to prevent nicks from contact with the saw blades.
If this is a handheld 'skill-saw' type saw, use a piece of wood to chock the saw blade from turning as you use a proper size socket/wrench to loosen the bolt which holds the blade.
The bolt will loosen counter-clock wise. It will probably be very tight, and you will have to use some effort to loosen it.
Remove the bolt, lift the follow guard and remove the blade.
Replace the blade with a like size diameter blade by raising the follow guard, inserting the blade, replacing the bolt, using a piece of wood to keep the blade from rotating and TIGHTEN the bolt. You will almost feel as if you need three hands to accomplish this procedure but its been done millions of successful times.

Good luck. :)
