MAINTENANCE
WARNING Ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug is removed from the
power point before making any adjustments or maintenance procedures.
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate loose over
time.
• Regularly check that the saw arbors and arbor washer are clean, and free of
built-up gum deposits or caked-on sawdust. Check that the faces of the arbor
washers are smooth and free from burrs. Check that the blade retaining bolt is
correctly tightened.
• Check the operation of the spring-loaded lower guard. It must close quickly and
without scraping anywhere. Remove the blade and clean accumulated sawdust
or wood slivers from the guard area.
• Occasionally check the tension of the micro-adjustment knob, and if necessary
tighten or loosen the Nyloc nut.
• The saw ventilation slots should be kept clean and clear of any foreign matter.
Use a lightly dampened cloth to wipe the saw clean - do not use solvents.
REPLACING THE SAW BLADE
WARNING Ensure that the tool is switched off and
disconnected from the power supply before making
any adjustments or installing or removing blades.
• Only use 235mm (9¼”) blades, with a kerf
between 2.2 and 3.5mm, designed for circular
saws with a no-load speed rating of at least
5000rpm. Never fit high speed steel blades
or abrasive discs. Fitting of other purpose or
different sized blades could void the warranty.
• Do not fit inferior blades. Regularly check the blade is flat, sharp and free of
cracks or defects.
1. Ensure the saw is disconnected from power.
2. Hold in the Spindle Lock Button (19) and use the 6mm Hex Key (20) supplied
to remove the arbor bolt - turn in the direction of the blade rotation. The shaft
will turn slightly before locking, allowing the bolt and outer arbor washer to be
removed.
3. Holding the Lower Blade Guard (8) fully back, carefully lift the worn blade off the
inner washer on the shaft and slide the blade through the baseplate.
4. Now, keeping the lower blade guard fully retracted, carefully slide the new blade
through the baseplate and position it onto the inner washer on the shaft. The
graphics should face out and the arrow on the blade should point in the same
direction as the arrow on the guard.
5. Refit the outer arbor washer and, while depressing the spindle lock button,
tighten the arbor bolt firmly into position – turn against the direction of blade
rotation.
6. Ensure the blade sits flush between the inner and outer washers, then tighten
firmly with the hex key.
BLADE MAINTENANCE
• Regularly check that the blade is free from a build-up of gum resins or sawdust.
If necessary clean with a solvent such as WD40, RP7 or mineral turpentine.
• 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.
• The tungsten carbide teeth should be checked regularly for sharpness and
tooth breakages, and repaired or re-sharpened as required. Note that when
re-sharpening, the bevel angles on the front of the teeth should be retained.
The tungsten carbide teeth should be checked regularly for sharpness and tooth
breakages, and repaired or re-sharpened as required. Contact the manufacturer.
