Assumes the depth has been set to 0.5 mm greater than
the material to be cut.
c)
to attach the hose disconnect the tool from the mains supply.
Press the hose end with the metal clip onto the dust outlet
nozzle only as far as the raised ridges on the tool body.
Ensure the guard moves up and down freely. Press the
stepped adaptor onto the vacuum hose. tape can be used to
assist, if required.
d)
Ensure that the vacuum cleaner to be used is recommended
for use with a power tool. Generally most domestic wet and
dry vacuum cleaners are suitable.
e)
Forced dust extraction is particularly recommended when a
lot of cutting is being carried out as far fewer stoppages are
required for cleaning the tool and surrounding area.
f)
Forced dust extraction should always be used when cutting
hazardous materials such as hard woods, MDF or ceramics.
g)
Forced dust extraction is recommended when it is desirable
to keep the working area clean.
h)
Forced dust extraction is essential if the material being cut is
slightly damp.
Temperature cut-out
the EXAKt Precision saw is fitted with a temperature cut-out to
prevent the tool overheating.
If the cut-out trips the tool will stop. It will not re-start until the tool
has cooled down. this could take up to 15 minutes.
the temperature cut-out will trip in the following circumstances:
•
using blunt blades.
•
Excess force applied when cutting.
•
continuous cutting of very hard or thick materials.
Using a V guard
A V Guard can be purchased as an accessory or may be
included in the kit from some suppliers. the V Guard is used
to cut plastic, copper and aluminium pipes as well as wooden
dowel.
a)
to fit the V Guard see Guard removal section.
b)
For cutting copper or aluminium pipes only use a 60 or 80
tooth blade.
c)
Place the pipe so that the area being cut is fully supported on
the work surface.
d)
Place the saw on top of the pipe to be cut and use free hand
to rotate the pipe as required. Ensure that the hand holding
the pipe is kept at a safe distance from the cutting blade.
EC-310-As safety Warnings –
MAinTEnAnCE AnD sERViCing
Cleaning
regular cleaning is required for the safe operation of the tool,
as an excessive build up of dust will prevent the tool operating
correctly.
the dust extract nozzle may block and require cleaning
occasionally, especially if damp wood is being cut.
•
unplug from mains supply and remove guard. (see Guard
removal section)
•
clean thoroughly with a small soft brush, like a paint brush.
safety Blade Retaining Washer
the blade is clamped in place using a special safety washer that
is designed to slip if the blade jams. the result is that the motor
slows down, sounds like it is labouring and the tool will stop
cutting. If this happens the operator should immediately reduce
the feed pressure until the motor sounds healthy or remove
the tool from the work piece to prevent permanent damage.
the washer is a consumable item, which should be replaced if
damaged or deformed.
nB. never replace this washer with anything other than an
EXAKT replacement part. (see list of user-replacable
parts)
Blades
nB. Always use a sharp blade.
•
If the tool does not cut as well as expected or if it overheats
(temperature cut out may trip) the most common cause is a
blunt blade.
•
It is difficult to see or feel if the blade is blunt. If in doubt use a
new blade.
•
Blades are consumable items.
•
Always use EXAKt blades.
•
Beware when changing blades as they can become hot
during use. Allow the blade time to cool before replacing.
