Do you have a question about the VonHaus 3500168 and is the answer not in the manual?

The device, identified as 3500168, is a cordless circular saw, specifically an E-Series 18V Compact Circular Saw Body. It is designed for domestic use and is not intended for industrial or commercial applications. This tool is part of the VonHaus E-Series 18V range, indicating compatibility with other E-Series 18V batteries and chargers.

Function Description:

The circular saw is intended for cutting various materials, primarily wood, with precision. It is equipped with a blade for cutting and features adjustments for both cutting depth and angle, allowing for versatile applications. The device is designed to be user-friendly, with safety features to minimize risks during operation.

Important Technical Specifications:

Model Number: 3500168
Type: E-Series 18V Cordless Compact Circular Saw Body
Nominal Voltage: 18V
Dorn (Arbor) Size: 9.5mm
Blade Diameter: Not explicitly stated, but the arbor size suggests compatibility with standard blades for compact circular saws.
Weight: Not specified, but implied to be lightweight for ease of handling.
Compliance: Complies with essential requirements of directives 2006/42/EC, 2014/30/EU, and 2011/65/EU. It also adheres to standards EN 62841-1:2015, EN 62841-2-5:2014, EN 55014-1:2017, EN 55014-2:2015, EN 61000-3-2:2014, and EN 61000-3-3:2013.

Usage Features:

The circular saw offers several features to enhance usability and safety:

Cordless Operation: Powered by an 18V battery (sold separately), providing freedom of movement without the restriction of a power cord.
Depth Adjustment: Allows users to set the desired cutting depth, crucial for precise cuts and preventing damage to underlying surfaces. This is typically adjusted via a lever or knob (e.g., item 16 in the component diagram).
Angle Adjustment (Bevel Cut): Enables bevel cuts at various angles, commonly up to 45 degrees, for miter joints and other angled cuts. This is adjusted via a lever or knob (e.g., item 11 in the component diagram).
Spindle Lock: Facilitates easy and safe blade changes by locking the spindle to prevent rotation.
Safety Guard: Features both an upper and lower guard to protect the user from the rotating blade. The lower guard is typically retractable during cutting.
ON/OFF Trigger: A standard trigger mechanism for activating and deactivating the saw.
Lock-off Button: A safety feature that prevents accidental starting of the saw, requiring deliberate action to engage the trigger.
Guide Fence: An accessory (e.g., item 14) that attaches to the saw to help maintain straight cuts along an edge.
Dust Extraction Port: Allows for connection to a dust extraction system (e.g., item 18) to keep the work area clean and reduce airborne dust, improving visibility and user health.
Ergonomic Design: Features a comfortable grip (e.g., item 13) for extended use and better control.
Battery Indicator: While not explicitly detailed, most cordless tools include some form of battery level indicator.
Assembly: The battery (not included) is inserted into the saw body. The guide fence (14) is inserted into the base plate and secured with a screw (12). The dust extraction hose (18) is connected to the dust extraction port (17).
Adjustments:
- Bevel Angle Adjustment: Loosen the bevel adjustment screw (11), set the desired angle (e.g., 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°), and tighten the screw.
- Cutting Depth Adjustment: Loosen the depth adjustment lever (9), set the desired depth using the scale (16), and tighten the lever.
- Guide Fence Adjustment: Loosen the guide fence screw (1), slide the guide fence (2) to the desired position, and tighten the screw.

Maintenance Features:

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of the circular saw.

Cleaning:
- Always disconnect the battery before cleaning.
- Keep the ventilation slots and motor housing free of dirt and dust.
- Clean the tool regularly with a soft brush or cloth. Compressed air can be used to clear dust from hard-to-reach areas.
- Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
Blade Changes:
- Always ensure the battery is removed.
- Use the spindle lock (e.g., item 8) to hold the blade in place.
- Use the hex key (e.g., item 12) to loosen the blade screw (e.g., item 5).
- Remove the outer flange and the old blade (e.g., item 15).
- Install the new blade, ensuring the teeth are pointing in the correct direction.
- Reassemble the flange and tighten the blade screw.
Guard Maintenance:
- Regularly check the upper and lower guards for proper operation. Ensure they move freely and are not obstructed by dust or debris.
- If the lower guard does not retract or return properly, clean the spring mechanism.
General Inspection:
- Regularly inspect the tool for any signs of damage, wear, or loose parts.
- Check all screws and fasteners for tightness.
- Ensure the power cord (if applicable, for charger) and battery connections are secure and undamaged.
- If any parts are damaged, they should be replaced by a qualified technician.
Storage:
- Store the tool in a clean, dry, and secure location, out of reach of children.
- Protect the tool from extreme temperatures and moisture.
