To lube the tension lever, you will need to remove the 4 screws that hold the black control cover and then remove the screw that holds the tension lever down. Grease can be placed on the bottom side of the lever. The DW788 uses sealed bearings that do not require additional lubrication. Use a good quality paste wax to buff the table in order to prevent rust.

Slower speeds are recommended for metals, plastics, harder woods and very thin materials.

The table of the scroll saw bevels 45°left and right. A detent is set at 0°. To bevel the scroll saw table, loosen the bevel lock knob, and bevel the table to the desired setting, indicated by the bevel pointer. NOTE: Before tilting the table for bevel cuts of 45˚, check the clearance around the lower thumbscrew. To facilitate an accurate 45˚ cut the thumbscrew and setscrew may need to change places. On the setscrew side, sufficient clearance is available.
