2. Changing saw blades
WARNING
If the saw blade
fi
xing screw is worked using other tools
than the provided hexagonal bar wrench, excessive
tightening and insu
ffi
cient tightening may take place,
resulting in injury.
(1) Thoroughly remove any sawdust which has accumulated
on the spindle, screw and washers.
(2) Press the locking button and move.
(3) Move in such a way that the read-o
ff
edge is pointed to
the symbol “saw blade changing”. (
Fig. 9-a
)
(4) Release the locking button again.
(5) Turn the lock lever clockwise up to the stop. (
Fig. 9-b
)
(6) Push the lock-o
ff
button forwards and lower the motor
section a little. Release the lock-o
ff
button again.
(7) Push the motor section down until it locks in place at the
stop.
(8) Turn the saw spindle slowly with the hexagonal bar
wrench in the saw blade
fi
xing screw until the lock
catches.
(9) Unscrew the saw blade
fi
xing screw in a clockwise
direction and remove the washer (B). Remove the saw
blade. (
Fig. 10
)
CAUTION
Ensure that the washer (A) (the washer inside the saw
blade) is inserted in the right way: The washer (A) has
2 sides, diameter 20 mm and 5/8" (16 mm). Ensure a
precise
fi
t of saw blade mounting hole to the washer (A).
Incorrectly installed saw blades do not run smoothly and
lead to loss of control.
(10) Insert a new saw blade, Make sure the direction of
rotation is correct. The direction of rotation is indicated
by arrows on the saw blade and guard.
The contact areas between the washer (A), the saw
blade, the washer (B) and the saw blade
fi
xing screw
must be clean.
(11) Put on the washer (B). Ensure that the washer (B) is
inserted the correct way round.
(12) Tighten the saw blade
fi
xing screw using a hexagonal
bar wrench (max. 5 Nm).
CAUTION
○
Use only sharp, undamaged saw blades. Do not use
saw blades that are cracked or that have changed their
shape.
○
Do not use any saw blades made from high-alloy high-
speed steel (HSS).
○
Do not use any saw blades which do not conform to the
speci
fi
ed rating.
Use only saw blades with a diameter according to the
markings on the saw.
○
The saw blade must be suitable for the no-load speed.
○
Use a saw blade that is suitable for the material being
sawn.
○
Use only genuine HiKOKI saw blades. Saw blades
intended for cutting wood or similar materials have to
conform to EN 847-1.
(13) Turn the lock lever anti-clockwise up to the stop while
holding the handle with one hand. The motor section
swings upwards.
CAUTION
Never touch the saw blade immediately after use. The
metal is hot and can easily burn your skin.
3. Check for proper operation of the brake
This power tool features an electric brake that functions
when the switch is released. Before using the power
tool, ensure that the electric brake functions properly.
If it does not, bring the tool to a HiKOKI AUTHORIZED
SERVICE CENTER.
ADJUSTSING THE SAW PRIOR TO
USE
WARNING
To avoid serious accidents, ensure the switch is in OFF
position, and pull out the battery.
1. Setting cutting depth
It is advisable to set the depth of cut in such a way that
no more than half of each tooth on the saw blade juts out
under the workpiece. (
Fig. 11-a
)
<Adjustment in mm steps>
Press the locking button and move. Read o
ff
the set
cutting depth at the read-o
ff
edge.
(When the guide rail “GR” is used, read o
ff
at the “GR”
read-o
ff
edge.)
Release the locking button again. (
Fig. 11-b
)
<Precise adjustment (for extremely precise cutting depth
adjustment)>
The cutting depth can be set extremely precisely by
turning the adjuster.
Determine the exact cutting depth by measuring the
projecting saw blade or check the result by a trial cut.
2. Slanting saw blade for diagonal cuts (Fig. 12)
Loosen the two locking screws to make the setting. Tilt
the motor section against the base. Read the angle
which has been set from the scale. Retighten both
locking screws.
For a diagonal cut angle smaller 0° or greater 45°
(undercut):
Press the undercut button in and then slant.
(During the next adjustment the undercut function is
automatically deactivated.)
When cutting at an angle, adjust the position of the glass
guard so that it does not hit the workpiece being cut.
WARNING
If the locking screw is loose, injury can result. Tighten it
securely after adjustment.
3. Correcting the saw blade angle
The saw blade angle has been adjusted at the factory.
(
Fig. 13
)
If necessary, the saw blade angle can be adjusted for
0° and for 45°. Turn the adjusting screw (B) (for 0°) or
adjusting screw (A) (for 45°).
4. Sawing with a rip fence (sold separately) (Fig. 14)
For cuts parallel to a straight edge. The rip fence can be
inserted from either side into the support provided for it.
The cut width can be read o
ff
at the mark. Fix using both
clamping levers. It is best to calculate the exact cut width
by making a test cut.
5. Sawing with a guide rail (sold separately) (Fig. 15)
For dead straight, tear-free cutting edges with millimeter
precision. The anti-slip coating keeps the surface safe
and protects the workpiece against scratches. See
Accessories section. The rotary button is used for setting
a clearance-free
fi
t.
There are two guide grooves to place the machines on
guide tracks from di
ff
erent manufacturers.
6. Setting extraction connector / dust ejection
The connector can be rotated to the desired position to
extract or eject sawdust. To do this, push the connector
in up to the stop, turn and pull out again. The connector
can thus be locked in 7 increments so that it cannot turn.
<Sawdust extraction>
To extract the sawdust, connect a suitable extraction unit
with suction hose to the connector.
<Dust bag>
Remove the connector (push the connector in up to the
stop. Turn it so that it is facing upwards. Remove and set
to one side).
Attach the dust bag. (
