Artistic Wire Jeweler's Saw Frame Starter Set (Each)

1. Loosen the wing nuts on the saw.
2. Slip one end of the blade into the fixture. Make sure the blade's teeth are pointing out and down. (Sort of like a Christmas tree.)
3. Tighten the wing nut, then apply pressure from the end of the saw so that the blade is guided into the other fixture. (A common method of applying this pressure is to put the handle up against your hip or ribs, and push the far end against a sturdy wall.)
4. Tighten the other wing nut. The blade should be very tight in the saw before you use it. (It should "ping!" not "thunk" when you test the tension.)
