INSTALLING OR REMOVING A BLADE

WARNING: Only attempt these procedures with the machine
disconnected from the mains power supply.
Note: We recommend that the operator wears protective gloves
when handling blades. Care should be exercised as a recently
used blade could be hot and/or contaminated with debris.
To install a blade:
• Ensure that the blade holder is clean and free from debris or
other contaminates.
• Twist and hold the blade clamping dial anti-clockwise.
(Fig. 1)
• Fully insert the shank of the blade into the blade holder.
• Release the blade clamp so it returns to its original position.
• Check that the blade is secure.
WARNING: It is important that the hole in the tang of the blade
engages with the 'spigot' located inside the blade holder.
To remove a blade:
• If recently used allow the blade to cool down.
• Ensure that the machine is facing downwards to allow
any debris to fall out.
• Twist and hold the blade clamping dial anti-clockwise.
• Gently pull the blade from the blade holder.
Note: If a blade is being removed because it is at the end of its
service life eject it straight into a recycling bin.
WORKPIECE CONTACT PLATE
WARNING: To achieve the best cutting efficiency, minimise
the risk of vibration, and blade jumping and/or breakage, the
workpiece contact plate must be kept firmly in contact with the
workpiece.
Note: The workpiece contact plate is pivoted and adjustable.
This feature allows the contact plate to adjust and lie flush on a
workpiece surface even when the machines main body is at a
slight angle to that surface.
CUTTING REACH & CAPACITY
By using different length blades and/or altering the service
position of the workpiece contact plate, it is possible to increase or
decrease the overall 'reach' and cutting capacity of the machine.
