5. Install the blade onto
the inside arbor. Place
the outside arbor onto
the shaft with the
internal tabs aligned
with the slots in the
shaft. Insert the bolt
into the shaft and
tighten finger tight. Push up on the shaft lock
and tighten the bolt securely with the blade
arbor wrench provided. Note: Two bolts and two
outside arbors are provided when a membrane
splitting attachment is also ordered. Ensure that
the shorter bolt and the outside arbor with no
shoulder is used with the thinner panel blade.
6. Check to ensure that
the surrounding area is
completely clear.
Confirm that the blade
is aligned with the cut
line. Start the blade
disengaged from the
panel and slowly push
the blade into the panel
applying firm, even
pressure.
7. Continue cutting until
the blade penetrates
the wall completely. The
TS 400 is a plunge-cut
type saw. It is not
designed to be pushed
along the guide rail in a
continuous cutting
motion. Once the blade has penetrated the
opposite side, pull the blade out of the panel.
Move the power unit/carriage assembly to the
next position. With the blade turning, push the
blade back into the panel until it penetrates in
that position. Repeat this process until the cut is
complete.
8. In vertical applications,
the carriage lock must be
used to support the weight
of the saw.
Membrane Splitting Procedure
1. The membrane
splitting bracket slides
onto the guide rail the
same way as the panel
saw carriage.
2. Change to the 3/8"
(9.5 mm) thick
membrane removal
blade using the outside
arbor with the shoulder
and the special bolt.The
power unit and carriage
slide onto the bracket.
The bracket moves
horizontally on the
guide rails to accurately
locate the membrane.
Once in position, the bracket should be locked
in place with the bracket lock . The carriage
slides in and out to adjust the depth of the cut. A
carriage lock fits into the guide rail holes to hold
the unit in position. The guard may require
adjustment depending upon the depth of cut.
Loosen the guard knob, reposition and tighten
the lock securely. Caution: NEVER OPERATE
THE SAW WITHOUT THE GUARD IN PLACE.
Once in position, assure that the entire area is
clear and then start the blade by squeezing the
throttle handle. Slowly push forward on the
power unit to feed the blade into the membrane
until the depth of cut is achieved. Loosen the
guide rail lock, slide the bracket to the next
membrane and repeat the procedure.

Carriage Guide Adjustment
The carriage should
slide easily onto the
guide rails without being
loose enough to effect
cutting accuracy. To
adjust the carriage
guides, loosen cap
screws "A". Turn the set
screws "B" clockwise to tighten or
counterclockwise to loosen. Retighten cap
screws "A" to lock in place.
