Logging Saw
A heavy-duty general purpose
electric saw for cutting
through a variety of materials.
Always cut
in a straight
line, never
twist the
blade in the
cut.
The 230V
version of
the Model 2
saw is fitted
with an
adjuster to
vary the
speed of
the blades.
The speed
adjuster dial
is located on
the top of
the rear
handle.

wood, keep
the speed
set to

(6).
Avoid prolonged heavy use at low speed
settings as this
may lead to overheating of the motor.
DO NOT adjust the
speed of the blades with the unit running.
Release the
ON/OFF trigger, make the adjustment and restart the unit.
Never push the equipment beyond its design limits.
If it
will not do what you want with reasonable ease and speed,
assume you have the wrong type or size of extractor for the
job.
Ask at your local HSS Hire for advice.
Keep the equipment clean.
You will find this less of a
chore if you clean it up regularly rather than wait until the
end of the hire period.
When not in use, store the equipment somewhere
clean, dry and safe from thieves.
Remove the saw from the cut while still running, then
release the ON/OFF trigger and wait for the blade to
stop.
Then
unplug the saw and refit the plastic guard strip
supplied to protect the blades. Take care though - the
blades are very sharp.
All that remains is to
give the unit a final clean up ready
for return,

Blade Replacement
Switch the unit OFF and unplug it from the power
supply. Wearing suitable gloves, turn the unit up-
side-down and where fitted, remove the dust
extraction cover.
Model 1.
Working on one blade at a time, turn the blade
locking hex bolt anticlockwise with the hex key
until the blade and bolt separate. The bolt is spring
loaded and held captive.
Lift the blade by the heel end. Fully raise the
blade until it disconnects from the front guide slot
of the main bar. Repeat with the remaining blade.
The blades can only be replaced one way and left
and right cannot be incorrectly fitted.
To refit, insert the tip of one blade into the main
bar until the tip clicks into the guide slot. Lower
the heel and align its female thread with the
captive hex bolt and turn the bolt clockwise to
secure in place. Repeat with the remaining blade.
Model 2.
Depress the blade lock button and lift the blades
by the heel end. Fully raise the blades until they
disconnect from the front guide slots of the main
bar.
The blades are colour coded red and green. When
replacing, fit the red set first followed by the green.
To refit, depress the blade lock button and insert
the heel of the red blade onto the drive pin then
lower it into the main bar until the tip clicks into
the guide slot.
Repeat with the green blade then release the
blade lock button.
