What to do if my Rotorazer Saw blade will not cut a straight line?
If your Rotorazer Saw blade isn't cutting straight, there are several potential reasons. First, the blade may be dull, in which case you should mount a new, sharp blade. Second, the blade might not be mounted properly, so check its installation. Finally, you may not be guiding the saw correctly; consider using an edge guard to assist.
What to do if the Rotorazer Saw cutting depth is less than set?
If the cutting depth of your Rotorazer Saw is less than what you've set, it's possible that sawdust has accumulated and is blocking the base. Shake out the sawdust to clear the blockage. You might also consider connecting a vacuum for dust collection to prevent this issue.
Why won't my Rotorazer Saw start?
If your Rotorazer Saw isn't starting, there could be a few reasons: * The power cord might not be plugged in properly. Check to ensure it's securely connected to a working outlet. * The power cord could be broken. If so, unplug the saw and have the cord replaced by a qualified maintenance person. * The carbon brush may be worn down. In this case, have it replaced by a qualified maintenance person.
What to do if my Rotorazer Saw blade spins or slips?
If the blade on your Rotorazer Saw is spinning or slipping, the blade is not tightly engaged with the spindle. Remove the blade and reassemble it as described in the Install/Replace the Blade section.

The Rotorazer 3000 Series, RZ120, is a versatile electric circular saw designed for ripping and cross-cutting various materials while resting firmly on the workpiece. This multifunctional mini saw is suitable for cutting wood, laminate flooring, plastics, ceramic tiles, slate, aluminum sheet, and other materials. It comes equipped with a safety guard, an adjustment blade setting, and three interchangeable blades, along with other attachments, to enhance its utility.
The Rotorazer 3000 Series, RZ120, operates by holding the material to be cut between its base plate and a support surface, allowing the blade to penetrate the material for clean, fast, and safe cuts. To switch the tool on, the safety switch (2) must be pushed forward with one finger, followed by pressing and holding the ON/OFF switch (1). The release button for the safety guard (14) is then pressed with the thumb. Releasing the ON/OFF switch (1) turns the tool off.
The cutting depth is adjustable, a crucial feature for precise work. It is recommended to adjust the cutting depth to be at least 2 mm deeper than the material's thickness for a clean cut. This adjustment is made by loosening the adjustment lever (3), moving it until the arrow points to the desired depth on the scale (7), and then tightening the lever again.
For cutting along a straight line, the indicators on the front and rear of the blade guard assist in guiding the saw. Plunge cutting, while sometimes challenging in very hard materials, is also possible. For plunge cuts, the cutting depth (3) is adjusted, the tool is connected to the power source, and the base plate is placed on the workpiece. After turning on the tool and allowing the blade to reach working speed (about two seconds), the blade is slowly allowed to penetrate the workpiece with some pressure, moving the tool forward. It's crucial not to move the tool backward while the blade is in the workpiece. Once the cut is complete, the saw is turned off and removed.
When cutting difficult materials or those that generate a lot of dust, it's advisable to first familiarize oneself with the tool by cutting wood. For hard materials like metal and some plastics, more pressure may be required. The manual specifically warns against cutting materials that generate dust or dangerous fumes, such as certain plastics and asbestos. For sheet metal, the cutting depth should be at least 1 mm greater than the material's thickness, with scrap material placed underneath. Deep scratches and rusty areas should be eliminated from the material surface to facilitate tool movement. After every two minutes of cutting metal, a three-minute break is recommended for cooling. Suitable cutting fluid can also be used. For floor tiles, slate, and similar materials, using the correct cutting blades and connecting a dust extractor is essential to prevent health hazards and blade guard clogging. Adhesive or duct tape on the base plate can prevent scratching. For drywall, the tool can cut sheets, but a dust extraction device must always be used as dust can affect blade guard operation.
An optional laser feature (10) is available, which can be purchased separately. This laser beam-guide simplifies sawing in a straight line, either along a drawn line or by aligning the beam to a marked point. The laser is switched on and off using the laser ON/OFF button (13).
