Replacing a cut off disc
CAUTION.
Always ensure that the saw is switched off
and unplugged from the power supply before installing or
removing a disc.
1. Loosen and remove the spark shield locking knob (Fig.L).
2. Swing the front spark shield
downwards and pull out
from the upper disc guard to
reveal the cutting disc bolt
and flange (Fig. M).
3. Push the spindle lock button
in and rotate the disc until the
spindle lock engages
(Fig. N).
4. Whilst holding the spindle
lock button, use the 8mm hex key supplied to remove
the disc bolt. Note that the bolt unscrews in an anti-
clockwise direction (Fig. O).
5. Remove the disc lock bolt, washer, outer flange, blotter
and cut off disc (Fig. P).
6. Clean any grinding dust from the inner flange and, after
checking that it is in good condition, mount a new disc
between two paper blotters. The rear blotter should be
mounted onto the inner flange and the front blotter is the
printed surface on the front of the disc.
7. Replace the outer flange, washer and lock bolt. Tighten
the bolt in a clockwise direction.
8. Turn the new disc by hand, ensuring that it rotates fully
and does not wobble unduly.
9. Replace the front spark
shield by locating the centre
pivot section of the spark
shield into the raised centre
section of the upper disc
guard (Fig. Q).
Note.
You need to locate the
small tab of the spark guard on
the inside of the wheel guard.
You may need to push this into
position over the head of the
disc locking bolt. The two parts
will only locate together when
the spark guard is in the down
position with approximately
80mm of the wheel at the
bottom exposed (Fig. R). After
locating centrally, lift the spark
guard FULLY, ensuring the two
parts rotate correctly and do not
detach. With the guard in the
FULLY upright position, there is
only one threaded hole exposed.
Replace the spark shield locking
screw fully in this hole (Fig. S).
Operate the spark guard up and
down to ensure it is correctly
located prior to turning the cut off
saw on.
