4. Take the 2 spanners and
use the flat spanner to
locate into the holes in the
flange and keep the blade
still, and use the socket
spanner over the nut and
turn anti clockwise.
5. Remove the nut, outer blade
flange and blade.
6. Wipe a drop of oil onto the inner blade flange and the
outer blade flange where they contact the blade.
7. Fit the new blade onto the spindle taking care that the
inner blade flange sits behind the blade.
CAUTION. Always install the blade with the arrow printed on
the side of the blade pointing down. The direction of blade
rotation is also marked on the blade guard and blade cover.
8. Replace the outer blade flange followed by the blade nut.
9. Use the blade spanner to securely tighten the blade bolt.
(Tighten in a clockwise direction).
10. Replace the blade cover and secure it with the blade
cover locking knobs.
CAUTION. Before using the saw after replacing the blade,
check that all the safety devices are fitted correctly including
the blade guard and that they are all in good working order.
Run the saw without loading it to ensure the blade runs true
and there are no extraneous noises.
Cleaning
1. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times.
2. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done
with a soft brush or a rag.
3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
4. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
CAUTION. Do not use cleaning agents to clean the
plastic parts of the saw. A mild detergent on a damp
cloth is recommended.
General inspection
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They
may vibrate loose over time.
Repairs
Only an authorised service centre should replace the
cordset. If the cordset is damaged or worn, have it repaired
or replaced by an authorised service centre.
Power cord and RCD maintenance
IMPORTANT. Ensure the RCD is tested upon every use.
It is essential that the safety switch is tested to ensure it is
functioning correctly. We strongly recommend that a test of
the RCD is conducted without fail before each use. Refer to
Testing your safety switch.
If the power cord or RCD needs replacing, the task must
be carried out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s
agent, or a qualified electrical repairer in order to avoid a
safety hazard.
