normal pressure. Do not force the tool – let the speed of the saw blade
do the work. Cutting performance will not improve by applying more
pressure on the tool, and blade and motor life will be reduced. Use less
pressure as the blade exits through the material. On completion of the
cut, return the motor head to its upright position and switch off the power.
Keep the tool clean of metal chips and other dirt and debris.
Work piece Clamping
Position the work piece in the vice so that if a jam occurs, the blade will
not tend to throw it from the vice. Clamp it securely. Angles should be in
an inverted position so that the point of the section is uppermost. The
saw cuts most efficiently if the blade is cutting the thinnest section of the
material (fig. 3).
Maintenance And Troubleshooting
Keep tool and cord clean. Regularly vacuum or blow out the motor unit to
keep its ventilation clear, also check that the machine is well lubricated.
Inspect weekly. Avoid using cleaning products, which include benzene,
trichloroethelene, chloride, and ammonia as these can damage plastic
parts. In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction, immediately switch
off the tool and disconnect the plug.
Cleaning Chipping Tray
Periodically clean out the chipping tray by removing the screw (fig. 2.
ref. B) and removing the tray. Empty the tray into a suitable disposal
container then refit the tray and retaining screw.
Brush Inspection And Replacement
Excessive sparking may indicate the presence of dirt in the motor or
worn out carbon brushes. Check for wear after the first 50 hours of use
and then at 10 hours use intervals. Replace when they reach 6mm. The
brush holders are located on the motor housing opposite each other
and unscrew to allow access to the brushes. For all other service and
maintenance, take the machine to an authorised service centre after
typically 60 cutting hours, dependent upon the type of workload it has
endured.
Lubrication
Your machines motor bearings are lubricated at the factory with sufficient
lubricant to last for the lifetime of the unit under normal operating
conditions. Other movable parts can be lubricated with light machine
oil as necessary. It is recommended that the machine be taken to the
nearest SERVICE CENTER or HiTech USA, Iowa, if in the USA, at least
once a year for a thorough cleaning and lubrication. All repairs and
servicing made by these centres are fully guaranteed against defective
materials and workmanship.
