3. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

1) AS175 Tool description
The AS175 is designed to cut rigid materials such as
mortar, clay fired bricks, plasterboard, fibreboard. The
AS175 uses a variety of blades to suit the material
being cut. Blades may also be changed to suit the
required depth or length of cut.
The blades are driven via conrods and a camshaft,
which is belt-driven. The belt drive designed to allow
some slip in case of the blades jamming. If excessive
belt slipping occurs, re-tensioning of the belt may
be required. It is easily tightened by removing the
plastic cover and is tensioned using the adjustable idler
pulley (see section 7.2). Blades are mounted to the
conrods using high tensile Allen™ head bolts.
A replaceable metal guard is provided to limit the
3
maximum cutting depth and prevent the blade mounts
from damaging the surface of the material being cut.
Shock and vibration to the operator are reduced by
a rubber-mounted top handle. The top handle is also
designed for comfort when used in a variety of cutting
orientations. The rubber bushes on the top handle can
be replaced if they become worn or damaged.
