G
Disconnect the supply cord plug from the mains socket.
G
Place the tool on its baseplate, on a suitable surface.
G
Open the clamping lever as far as it will go.
G
Tip the tool onto the supporting rib provided at the
motor side, so that the saw blade faces upwards and is
easily accessible.
G
Release the clamping sccccrew and clamping flange
by turning in a counter-clockwise direction.
G
Use the manual control to swing the pivoting guard
back and remove the saw blade.
G
Clean the saw blade contact surfaces to remove wood
chips and other foreign material.
G
Check again that the data for the saw blade complies
with the information given in these operating instruc-
tions.
G
The saw blade must meet the specification for the tool
with regard to spindle speed, spindle size and shape, disc
core thickness, kerf width and blade diameter.

beginning sawing by measuring the projection of the saw
blade from the baseplate.
Constant speed electronics / speed pre-selection
The WSC 267-E is equipped with constant speed elec-
tronics.
The speed regulator can be used to adjust the speed of
the saw blade to any value within the 2200–4300 r.p.m.
range. The numbers on the speed regulator represent the
following approximate saw blade speeds:
1
2200 r.p.m.
2
2600 r.p.m.
3
3000 r.p.m.
4
3500 r.p.m.
5
3900 r.p.m.
6
4300 r.p.m.
The built-in constant speed electronics maintain the pre-
selected speed at an almost constant level even when the
tool is under load. The recommended speeds and infor-
mation concerning choice of the correct saw blade can
be found in the product information and corresponding
table of applications.
Smooth starting
The tool is equipped with a starting current limitation
device which ensures optimum working comfort. The
tool thus starts and runs up to speed without an unpleas-
ant jolt.
Changing saw blades without the use of tools
Use of other saw blades is not permissible.
G
When fitting the new saw blade, take care to ensure
that the direction of rotation arrow on the saw blade cor-
responds to the direction of rotation arrow on the guard.
G
Check that the saw blade is seated correctly.
G
Use the wrench included to tighten the clamping screw
and flange securely in a clockwise direction.
G
Stand the tool on its baseplate.
G
Bring the clamping lever back to its original position.
The following design aspects were incorporated in the
tool for more safety when changing saw blades:
G
The clamping lever cannot be opened when the switch
interlock is depressed, i.e. when the tool is running.
G
The switch interlock cannot be depressed when the
clamping lever is open, i.e. the tool cannot be started.
G
Do not attempt to overcome the interlock by using
tools or applying excessive force.
9. Care and maintenance
Care
G
Used saw blades should be cleaned to remove resin
deposits at regular intervals as clean blades achieve a
much higher cutting performance. Resin deposits can
be removed by placing the saw blades in a bath of petro-
leum (paraffin, kerosene) or commercially available resin
remover.
G
Carbide-tipped circular saw blades
must no longer be used when the
remaining height or thickness of the
brazed-on tips is less than 1 mm
(
1
/
16
″
).
G
The tool was lubricated adequately when it was man-
ufactured. After long periods of heavy use, it is recom-
mended that the tool is inspected at a Hilti repair center.
This will increase the life expectancy of the tool and avoid
unnecessary repair costs.
G
Repairs to the electrical section of the tool may be car-
ried out only by a trained electrical specialist.
CAUTION
Keep the power tool, especially its grip surfaces, clean
and free from oil and grease. Do not use cleaning
agents which contain silicone.
The outer casing of the power tool is made from impact-
resistant plastic. Sections of the grip are made from a
synthetic rubber material.
Never operate the power tool when the ventilation slots
are blocked. Clean the ventilation slots carefully using
a dry brush. Do not permit foreign objects to enter the
interior of the power tool. Clean the outside of the pow-
er tool at regular intervals with a slightly damp cloth. Do

The saw blade becomes hot when
used for long periods.

There is a risk of burning if the blade
is touched.
