Changing The Saw Blade - Hilti SCW 70 Mode D'emploi

6.1 Changing the saw blade

CAUTION
Wear protective gloves when changing blades. The
en
blade, the clamping flange and the clamping screw get
hot.
CAUTION
Check that the blade to be fitted complies with the
technical requirements and that it is well sharpened. A
sharp saw blade is an essential requirement for a perfect
cut.
6.1.1 Removing the saw blade 3
1. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power
outlet.
2. Press the drive spindle lockbutton.
3. Turn the saw blade clamping screw with the hex.
socket wrench until the locking pin engages fully.
4. Use the hex. socket wrench to release the clamping
screw by turning it counterclockwise.
5. Remove the clamping screw from the outer clamping
flange.
6. Open the pivoting guard by swinging it to the side
and then remove the saw blade.
6.1.2 Fitting the saw blade
1. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power
outlet.
2. Clean the mounting flange and the clamping flange.
3. Fit the mounting flange.
4. Open the pivoting guard.
5. CAUTION Observe the direction-of-rotation ar-
row on the saw blade.
Fit the new saw blade.
6. Fit the outer clamping flange.
7. Secure the clamping flange by tightening the clamp-
ing screw in a clockwise direction. When doing so,
press the spindle lockbutton as before (see "Re-
moving the blade").
8. Before using the power tool, check that the saw
blade is securely attached.
6.2 Adjusting the cutting depth 4
NOTE
The cutting depth should always be set to a depth approx.
5 to 10 mm greater than the thickness of the material to
be cut.
The cutting depth can be adjusted stepplessly between
0 and approx. 70 mm.
1. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power
outlet.
2. Place the power tool on a supporting surface.
22
3. Release the cutting depth adjustment clamping lever
The set cutting depth is indicated by the arrow on
the scale on the gear housing.
4. Lift the power tool in a scissor movement and set
the desired cutting depth by closing the clamping
lever.
6.3 Adjusting the cutting angle 5
The saw can be set to any angle between 0 and 56º for
bevel cuts.
6.3.1 Presetting the bevel cutting angle
3 preset angles are possible: 22.5º, 45º and 56º.
1. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power
outlet.
2. Release the cutting angle adjustment clamping
lever.
3. Pivot the base plate to the 0° position.
4. Set the preset angle indicator to the desired angle.
5. Pivot the base plate as far as it will go.
6. Tighten the cutting angle adjustment clamping lever.
6.3.2 Setting the bevel cutting angle without
presetting
1. Disconnect the supply cord plug from the power
outlet.
2. Release the cutting angle adjustment clamping
lever.
3. Pivot the base plate to the desired angle setting.
4. Tighten the cutting angle adjustment clamping lever.
6.4 Sawing along a line
There is a cutting line indicator for straight cuts or bevel
cuts (0° and 45°) at the front section of the base plate of
the power tool. This permits precise cuts to be made at
the selected cutting angle. The edge of the line indicator
corresponds to the inside of the saw blade. There is a
cutting line indicator at the opening for the saw blade at
the front end of the base plate.
1. Secure the workpiece so that it cannot move.
2. Position the workpiece so that the saw blade is free
to move under the workpiece.
3. Check to ensure that the switch on the power tool
is in the off-position.
4. Plug the supply cord into the power outlet.
5. Place the power tool with the base plate on the
workpiece in such a way that the blade still has no
contact with the workpiece.
6. Press the on / off switch.
7. Guide the power tool along the cutting line on the
workpiece at a suitable speed.
6.5 Sawing with the parallel guide (rip fence)
The parallel guide (rip fence) can be used to make accur-
ate cuts along the edge of a workpiece or to cut strips of
equal width.
