BLADE MAINTENANCE
• Regularly check that the blade is free from a build up of gum resins or sawdust.
If necessary clean with an appropriate cleaning agent or multi-use lubricant
spray.
• Regularly check the saw blade for flatness. Use of the saw with a buckled blade
places excessive load on the motor and gearbox assembly, and may affect your
warranty rights.
• Check the tungsten carbide teeth regularly for sharpness and breakages;
re-sharpen or replace the blade as required. Note that when re-sharpening, the
bevel angles on the front of the teeth should be retained.
WARNING ! Before any maintenance work always switch
off the Plunge Saw and disconnect from mains power.
Only use Ø185x20mm blades with a kerf between 2.2 & 3.5mm, designed for
circular saws with a no-load speed rating of at least 6000/min.
Never fit high speed steel blades or abrasive discs. Fitting of other purpose or
different sized blades will void the warranty.
Do not fit inferior blades. Regularly check the blade is flat, sharp and free of
cracks or defects.
1. Loosen the front and rear bevel lock knobs (4 and 12) and swivel the Plunge
Saw to 0° position before changing the saw blade. Tighten both bevel lock knobs
again.
2. Set the mode selector (18) to the change saw blade icon. (Refer to
“Mode selection” section)
3. Press the plunge lock button (1) down and push the motor down.
4. Press and hold the shaft lock (25) down. (W1)
5. Use a 5 mm hex key (provided with this tool) to turn the screw at the saw blade
slightly clockwise or counter-clockwise until the spindle clicks into place.
(W2)
6. Use the Allen key to loosen the screw counter-clockwise. Remove the outer
flange and the saw blade. (W2; W3)
7. Clean both flanges and replace the saw blade.
