CAUTIONS
Before starting to saw, ensure that the saw blade has
reached full speed revolution.
Should the saw blade be stopped or made an
abnormal noise during operation, turn off the switch
immediately.
Always take care in preventing the power cord from
coming near the revolving saw blade.
MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING THE SAW
BLADE
CAUTION
To avoid serious accident, ensure the switch is in the
OFF position, and the power source is disconnected.
1. Dismounting the saw blade
(1) Set the cutting volume at maximum, and place the
Circular Saw as shown in Fig. 8.
(2) Depress the lock lever, lock the spindle, and remove
the hexagonal-head bolt with the box wrench.
(3) While holding the safety cover lever to keep the
safety cover fully retracted into the saw cover, remove
the saw blade.
2. Mounting the Saw Blade:
(1) Thoroughly remove any sawdust which has
accumulated on the spindle, bolt and washers.
(2) As shown in Fig. 9, the side of Washer (A) with a
projected center the same diameter as the inner
diameter of the saw blade and the concave side of
Washer (B) must be fitted to the saw blade sides.
*
Washer (A) is supplied for 3 types of saw blades
with the hole diameters of 16 mm, 20 mm and 30
mm. (When buying the Circular Saw, one type of
washer (A) is spplied.)
In case the hole diameter of your saw blade does
not correspond to that of washer (A), please
contact the shop where you purchased the Circular
Saw.
(3) To assure proper rotation direction of the saw blade,
the arrow direction on the saw blade must coincide
with the arrow direction on the saw cover.
(4) Using the fingers, tighten the hexagonal-head bolt
retaining the saw blade as much as possible. Then
depress the lock lever, lock the spindle, and
thoroughly tighten the bolt.
CAUTION
After having attached the saw blade, reconfirm that the
lock lever is firmly secured in the prescribed position.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the saw blade:
Since use of a dull saw blade will degrade efficiency
and cause possible motor malfunction, sharpen or
replace the saw blade as soon as abrasion is noted.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws:
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure
that they are properly tightened. Should any of the
screws be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure
to do so could result in serious hazard.
3. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 10)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. Since an excessively worn carbon
brush can result in motor trouble, replace the carbon
brushes with new ones having the same carbon brush
No. shown in the figure when it becomes worn to or
near the "wear limit". In addition, always keep carbon
brushes clean and ensue that they slide freely within
the brush holders.
4. Replacing carbon brushes:
Disassemble the brush caps with a slotted-head
screwdriver. The carbon brushes can then be easily
removed.
5. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the
power tool.
Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
6. Adjusting the base and saw blade to maintain
perpendicularity:
The angle between the base and the saw blade has
been adjusted to 90°, however should this
perpendicularity be lost for some reason, adjust in
the following manner:
(1) Turn the base face up (Fig. 11) and loosen the knob
and wing-bolt (Fig. 5 (A), Fig. 5 (B)).
(2) Apply a square to the base and the saw blade and
turning the slotted set screw with a slotted-head
screwdriver, shift the position of the base to produce
the desired right angle.
