Use and Care Manual

6  EXAKT PT Ltd. 2010
The dust extract nozzle may block and require
cleaning occasionally, especially if damp wood is
being cut.
a) Unplug from mains supply and remove guard. (See
Guard Removal Section)
b) Clean thoroughly with a small soft brush, like a paint
brush.
Safety Blade Retaining Washer
The blade is clamped in place using a special safety
washer that is designed to slip if the blade jams. The
result is that the motor slows down, sounds like it is
labouring and the tool will stop cutting. If this happens
the operator should immediately reduce the feed
pressure until the motor sounds healthy or remove the
tool from the work piece to prevent permanent
damage. The washer is a consumable item, which
should be replaced if damaged or deformed.
NOTE: Never replace this washer with anything
other than an EXAKT replacement part. (See List
of user-replacable parts)
Blades
 NOTE: Always use a sharp blade.
 If the tool does not cut as well as expected or if it
overheats (temperature cut out may trip) the most
common cause is a blunt blade.
 It is difficult to see or feel if the blade is blunt. If in
doubt use a new blade.
 Blades are consumable items.
 Always use Exakt blades.
 Beware when changing blades as they can become
hot during use. Allow the blade time to cool before
replacing.
 The blade diameter for the PS 160 saw is 2-1/8”
