AMERITOOL 4" TRIM SAW
BEFORE PLUGGING IN, PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY.
The machine is potentially dangerous if improperly used. Please be sure to operate
according to instructions and with the proper guards where applicable.
CAUTION
1.
Never operate the saw without goggles or other safety eye equipment. Be sure
that anyone who is observing nearby has adequate eye protection.
2.
NEVER try and change the direction of a cut in progress. The Trim Saw is
designed to make straight cuts only. Ignoring this or attempting to turn corners
will result in damage to the diamond blade and possible personal injury.
3.
Always unplug machine when doing maintenance or when not in use.
4.
Never use the blade dry - it is designed for use in oil or water only and will be
ruined immediately if used dry.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Carefully unpack the saw from the box, thoroughly checking all packing material
to make certain no accessories or small parts are discarded. Inspect the machine
to make sure that no damage has been incurred in shipping. Should the machine
arrive in a damaged condition and damage to the carton indicates it occurred in
transit, IMMEDIATELY contact the delivering carrier or shipping company and
fill out any necessary forms for reimbursement. Although our quality control
inspection makes it highly unlikely, should there be any missing parts or defects
in material or workmanship, contact Ameritool Inc. for repair or replacement.
2.
Remove the black saw table by lifting it up in front, pulling toward you.
3.
Use pliers to loosen the bolt on the end of the arbor, turning in a counter
clockwise direction. Remove bolt and flared washer. Place blade on the end of
the arbor, making sure that it fits on lip. Replace flared washer and bolt, screwing
clockwise to secure blade. Do not over tighten - bolt should be just a little more
than finger tight.
4.
The Ameritool Trim Saw is designed to be operated with oil or water; water is
cleaner and easier to use.
NEVER operate the saw dry, as this will ruin the
blade within seconds.
Take a large glass of water and pour into the sump until
water just touches the bottom of the blade. Replace the black saw table and adjust
blade guard.
5.
Put on your safety goggles; turn on the power switch. Pour additional water over
the blade until there is a fine mist and a small amount of splash around the blade.
CAUTION
: Do not over fill sump, as it will splash everywhere.
6.
Some blades require "dressing". This means that the protective matrix around the
diamond must be removed before the blade can cut effectively. Read the
directions that come with the blade to see if this step is necessary. If so, use a
dressing stick and lay it on the table in front of the blade; cut into the stick a few
times. This removed the protective coating from the blade. Now it is ready for
use.
