Operation And Maintenance - GRAPHITE 58G486 Manual Del Usuario

Remember that for bevel cutting the risk of kick back is greater (pinching of cutting blade more
probable), therefore it is particularly important that the saw base lies on the processed material with
its whole surface. Perform cutting with smooth move.
MAKING A CUT BY CUTTING INTO MATERIAL
Disconnect the saw from power supply before starting any adjustments.
●
Set desired cutting depth that matches thickness of material planned to be cut.
●
Tilt the saw so the front edge of the saw base lies on the cut material and 0
cutting is in the line of planned cutting.
●
When the saw is in the place to start cutting, lift the lower guard (
blade is lifted above the material).
●
Switch the power tool on and wait until cutting blade reaches its full rotational speed.
●
Gradually lower the saw and sink the cutting blade in material (during this move front edge of the saw
base should have contact with surface of the material).
●
When the blade starts cutting release the lower guard.
●
When whole surface of the saw base rests on the material, move the saw forward to proceed with cutting.
●
Never move the saw backwards when the blade is rotating, there is danger of kick back.
●
Finish cutting in reverse order it was started, by turning the saw around line of contact of the processed
material and front edge of the tool base.
●
Before removing blade from the material, allow it to stop after switching the saw off.
●
Finish the process with reciprocating saw or hand saw when necessary.
CUTTING OR CUTTING OFF LARGE PIECES OF MATERIAL
When cutting large boards of material support them to avoid potential blade hitch (kick back) due
to pinching the blade in material kerf.
● Support the panel or board close to the place of cutting.
●
Ensure the cutting blade settings guarantee that work bench or support will not be damaged during cutting.
Unplug the power cord from the mains socket before commencing any activities related to
installation, adjustment, repair or maintenance.
●
Keep the ventilation holes of the saw body pervious with no deposition of dust. All adjustment parts of the
saw should also be clean. Clean them with brush when necessary. The most effective cleaning is with the
use of compressed air. Wear anti-splinter goggles and protective mask always when using compressed air.
Do not clean ventilation holes by inserting sharp objects there, such as screwdrivers and alike.
●
When cleaning never use petrol, solvents or detergents that could damage plastic parts of the saw.
●
In case of excessive sparking on the motor commutator stop using the power tool and deliver it to
service workshop.
●
During normal operation cutting blade gets blunt after some time. When it happens it is necessary to
apply greater pressure when moving the saw during cutting. When cutting blade is found damaged,
replace it immediately.
●
Cutting blade must always be sharp.
CUTTING BLADE REPLACEMENT
● Use supplied hexagonal key to unscrew the bolt (8) for blade fixing by turning it counter-clockwise.
●
To prevent rotation of saw spindle, lock the spindle with spindle lock button (
bolt that fixes the cutting blade (fig. D).
●
Disassemble outer collar washer (
●
Use lower guard lever (
condition and operation of the spring that pulls the lower guard at that time).
●
Slide the blade out through slit in the saw base (
●
Position new cutting blade so blade teeth and arrow on the blade match direction of the arrow on the
lower guard.
●
Insert new cutting blade through the slit in the saw base and install it on the spindle by following
dismantle procedure in reverse order.
