Sawing with the guide rail Maintenance and care
13
GB
Exactly guided cutting is possible with the rip
fence (12) used in conjunction with a guide rail
(18), matching the groove in the guide rail.
When necessary, several guide rails may be
joined together using the rail couplers (see
"Accessories").
Always use well sharpened saw blades suitable
for the intended work. Blunt, cracked or
deformed saw blades are dangerous and their
use is strictly prohibited.
To change the saw blade, lock the saw spindle
by pressing the spindlelocking device (20),
loosen the blade fixing screw (21) using the
spanner delivered, and remove the clamping
flange (22). Swing the pendulum safety guard
(13) back and remove the saw blade (14).
Before a new saw blade is fitted, clean the
contact surfaces of the backing flange, saw
blade and clamping flange, and tighten the blade
fixing screw (21) again. Replace the spanner in
its holder.
The backing flange and the clamping flange are
designed as a safety clutch, so that if a sudden
heavy overload occurs during startup or when
the saw blade is blocked in cut, the saw blade
may slip between the flanges. Thus the risk of
kickback is reduced and gears of the circular
saw are protected.
The button of the spindle locking device may be
pressed only when the electric tool is not
running (with the plug disconnected from the
mains).
(accessories - Figures 4 and 5)
- The circular saw is supplied fully assembled,
fitted with the riving knife (23) which must
always be used in order to assure safe
operation.
- If position of the riving knife is to be altered to
suit different saw blade diameters, swing the
pendulum safety guard back, loosen the fixing
screw (24) using the hexagon key (25) and
shift the riving knife in its guiding slot.
- The riving knife is correctly adjusted when its
distance from the saw blade is in accordance
with Figure 3.
- When the correct position of the riving knife
has been accomplished, retighten the fixing
screw firmly.
(Figures 3)
The portable circular saws require practically no
maintenance. Lubrication for the antifriction
bearings and gears is designed to last for the
service life of the electric tool. However, it is
recommended to clean air inlet and outlet
openings and dust extraction and chip discharge
channels occasionally with compressed air while
the electric tool is running at no load. This will
prevent clogging of these openings with dust or
chips.
The carbon brushes are specially designed to
allow their wear only to the minimum usable
length. Then the power supply circuit is
automatically interrupted and the electric tool
stops running.
Replacement of the carbon brushes is to be
carried out by specialized service staff only!
Packed electric tools may be stored in dry
unheated storerooms with temperatures not
dropping below - 5°C. Unpacked electric tools
shall be stored only in dry self-contained
storerooms with temperatures not dropping
below + 5°C, where sudden temperature
changes are prevented.
After their service life is ended, submit the
electric tool, its accessories and packages to a
disposal premise to allow reusing of the raw
materials.
To allow material-sorted recycling, all plastic
components are marked with relevant symbols.
