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.
• Operate the blade clamping lever to 'open' the blade holder.
(Fig. 1)
• Insert the shank of the blade into the blade holder ensuring
that it is pushed fully 'home' .
WARNING: It is important that the hole in the tang of the blade
engages with the 'spigot' located inside the blade holder.
• Allow the blade clamping lever to return to its service position.
• Conduct a 'tug test' to ensure that the saw blade has been
securely 'captured' by 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.
• Operate the blade clamping lever.
• 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 (Fig. 2)
WARNING: During cutting operations to achieve best cutting
efficiency, and to minimise the risk of vibration, blade jumping
and/or breakage, the workpiece contact plate must, at all times,
be kept firmly in contact with the workpiece.
Note: The workpiece contact plate is pivoted. This feature
allows the contact plate to adjust automatically and lie flush on
a workpiece surface even when the machines main body is at a
slight angle to that surface.
