This document is an instruction manual and safety guide for the Amtech 2 piece 185mm circular saw blade set, Stock Code: V5000.

Function Description:

The Amtech 2 piece 185mm circular saw blade set is designed for cutting wood. It includes two different blades: a 24T TCT (Tungsten Carbide Tipped) saw blade and a 40T TCT saw blade. These blades are intended for use with a circular saw, specifically mentioning compatibility with Amtech V6145. The different tooth counts (24T and 40T) suggest that the set offers versatility for various cutting tasks in wood, with the 24T blade typically used for faster, rougher cuts and the 40T blade for finer, smoother cuts.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Product: 2 piece 185mm circular saw blade set
• Stock Code: V5000
• Blade Diameter: 185mm (Ø185mm)
• Bore Size: 20mm
• Maximum RPM: 7,200
• Blade Types:
  • 1 x 24T TCT circular saw blade (24 Teeth Tungsten Carbide Tipped)
  • 1 x 40T TCT circular saw blade (40 Teeth Tungsten Carbide Tipped)
• Material Compatibility: Suitable for cutting wood only.

Usage Features:

The manual emphasizes safe and correct usage of the circular saw blades.

• Installation: Blades must be installed according to the machine manufacturer's instructions, ensuring they are clamped securely by the hub and that fastening screws and nuts are tightened to the specified torque value. The clamping surface must be clean and free from debris. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware will run eccentrically, leading to loss of control.
• Direction of Rotation: Users must observe the correct rotational direction of the blade, aligning with machine settings.
• Speed Matching: The permitted maximum speed of the cutting disc (7,200 RPM) must match or exceed the maximum speed of the power tool.
• Material Selection: A suitable circular saw blade must be chosen for the specific material to be worked (wood only). The 24T blade is generally for faster, coarser cuts, while the 40T blade is for finer finishes.
• Workpiece Handling: The workpiece must be secured to a stable platform, never held in hands or across legs, to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control. Users should not overreach while cutting long boards.
• Cutting Technique: Do not force the tool or attempt to cut curves with the blades. A blunt blade may burn the cutting surface and should be replaced immediately. Overheated blade tips can loosen and cause serious injury.
• First Use: When starting the saw for the first time after installing a blade, allow it to run at full 'No Load Speed' for a few seconds, standing aside from the blade path. This helps check for blade wobble or vibration, which could indicate incorrect installation.
• Electrical Safety (General Power Tool Safety): Power tool plugs must match outlets, and adapter plugs should not be used with earthed tools. Avoid bodily contact with earthed surfaces. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. The cord should not be abused or used for carrying/pulling the tool, and kept away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. When operating outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Always use the power tool with a residual circuit breaker device.
• Work Area Safety: The work area should be clean, well-ventilated, and well-lit. Power tools should not be operated in explosive atmospheres. Children and bystanders must be kept away.

Maintenance Features:

• Inspection: Before each use, inspect the circular saw blades for any visible cracks, deformation, wear, or damage (missing/damaged teeth or carbide tips). Damaged blades should be scrapped immediately.
• Sharpness: Ensure blades are sharp; never use a dull/blunt blade.
• Cleaning: Keep the circular saw blade clean and well-maintained for better and safer performance.
• Cooling: Do not touch cutting discs until they have cooled down after operation, as they become very hot.
• Storage: When not in use, store the tool in a way that prevents damage to the blade's teeth. After each use, lubricate the blade with a rust preventive to prevent rusting during storage.
• Replacement: Replace blunt blades immediately to prevent burning the cutting surface and potential serious injury from overheated blade tips.
• Transportation: Remove the circular saw blade before transporting the power tool to prevent damage.

Safety Warnings and Precautions:

The manual stresses the importance of personal safety and provides a comprehensive list of warnings:

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear suitable safety wear, including ear defenders, eye protection, protective gloves, and suitable protection against dust. Wear suitable clothing and avoid loose clothing.
• Training and Experience: All users should be adequately trained and experienced in the use of these tools.
• Tool Condition: Regularly inspect the blade for signs of damage.
• Disconnection: Disconnect the power supply or remove the battery before changing the circular saw blade.
• Alertness: Stay alert, concentrate, and use common sense. Do not operate power tools while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
• Environmental Protection: Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Recycle where facilities exist and check with local authorities or retailers for advice.
• Warranty: The product comes with a 3-year guarantee.
