CAUTION: Do not use bent or cracked blades. Do not use
saw blades that do not conform to the specifications
contained in these instructions.
Inserting / replacing the saw blade (see Fig. 3)
As a result of prolonged use, the saw blade can get quite
hot and sharp cutting edges they can injure the user.
Before removing the saw blade make sure
that it has cooled enough after work.
You will need to use always protective
gloves when inserting / replace saw blade
Rotate the fixing head 5 (Fig. 3) and hold it in this
position to remove or insert the saw blade, insert stem
of the blade in the holder of the blade.
Check that the blade 10 is properly adjusted by pulling her.
If it is not correctly fixed, blade can
cause injury. It is allowed to install the
blade with the teeth upwards; this may
be required for for specific types of work.
10. SETTINGS
Support plate (see Fig. 1)
The support plate 8 facilitates work with the power tool,
it provides perpendicularity of the saw blade towards
the workplace and also serves as sawing stop allowing
adapting to sawed position.
To move the support plate 8 forward or backward, do
the following:
Loose the bolt 6 and set the support plate into required
position. Use the allen key to tighten bolts.
Rotation of the machine body
The saw is provided with a system that allows rotation
of the body of the machine on the handle (90º, 0º and
-90º) to adjust easily to any work position.
11. MAINTENANCE
Remove the battery from the power tool
before carrying out work on the power tool.
- Check the saw blade. Deposits of resin and glue on
the saw blade cause inefficient cutting. To avoid them,
always clean the blade immediately after use.
- Inspect the head. Regularly inspect all the mounting
screws and ensure they are firmly tightened. Should any
component be loose, tighten it immediately. Failure to
do so could put you at serious risk.
- Motor maintenance. Always take the greatest care
over this and make sure that the motor winding is not
damaged and does not become wet with oil or water.
- The vents should always be kept clean and free of
obstacles.
- Clean the machine thoroughly after each use. Blast
the motor regularly with compressed air.
- Use only Virutex accessories and spares. Parts the chan-
ging of which is not showed in this instruction manual,
should be replaced in a Virutex official service centre.
12. BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Maintenance of the electric tool / preventive measures
Remove the battery from the power tool before carrying
out work on the power tool.
Battery maintenance instrucions
• Charge the battery cartridge 9 (Fig. 8) before com-
pletely discharged. Stop operation in low power and
charge it immediately.
• Do not overcharge when the battery is full, other-wise
it will shorten the life time.
• Charge the battery cartridge with room temperature
at 10° C - 40° C (50°F to 104°F). Charging the battery
in temperatures out of this range can damage it and
may cause fire.
• Charge battery every 6 months without operation
for a long time.
• Replace worn out batteries in time. Decline of pro-
duction or a significantlyshorter runtime of the power
tool after charging indicates aging of the battery and the
need for replacement. It should be taken into account
that the battery may discharge faster if the works take
place in the temperature below 0°.
• In case of long time storage without use, it is recom-
mended to store the battery at room temperature, it
should be charged to 50%.
Technical service:
a) To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs, any
other maintenance or adjustment should be performed
by authorized service senters, always using original
replacement parts.
b) Do not repair damaged batteries. Maintenance of the
batteries should be performed only by their producer or
authorized service center.
