That must depend on what version of adobe you have. Maybe adobe reader vs adobe acrobat? I have the latest free version of adobe reader and this is my option:

It only has an option to save as PDF (which it's already a PDF) or as a text, no option for image.

I did try screen print then pasted into paint. I had forgotten using screen print. Used it quite a bit making install instructions and test procedures when I had to work for a living:D

Not that hard but way more work than I'd think for something like replacing a belt

First I unscrewed the adjustment knob that screws into the shaft in the drive system. You use it to adjust the blade position.

Then remove the eclip that holes the shaft into the ball bearing. For the backside of the housing holding the gears I removed the cover plate by removing the 4 bolts. This plate has the air tube connected to it.

Then I unscrew the bolt holding the connector rodin the shaft. Then loosen the set screw holding the drive wheel on the shaft.

At this point you can grab the gear and pull it out slightly. Carefully back it out so you can remove the wheel the belt attaches too. Slip the belt back on, slip the wheel back in and shove the shaft back in. Button that back up


Unscrew the strap that holds the motor on the scrolls saw. A lot. Then you can get the belt on it and then tighten it back up

Way more involved that I thought it should be which made me second guess what I was doing. It isn't that bad once I've gone through it

Edit: I started writing yesterday and posted this morning. Looks like my instructions are about the same. Thanks! Yes it is a lot more than stretching the belt over the two pullies

Glad you 'tried' it out!:)

I am also glad the counter weights should be pointing at each other. That means I made a good decision when reassembling my scroll saw.

Thank You for posting the pdf!
