Lever Front cover (5) Pull the back of the saw blade two or three times by hand and check that the blade is securely mounted. When pulling the blade, you will know it is properly mounted if it clicks and the lever moves slightly. (Fig. 6) CAUTION When pulling the saw blade, be absolutely sure to pull it from the back. Pulling other parts of the blade will result in an injury. Fig. 1 (2) Push the lever in the direction of the arrow mark shown in Fig. 2 marked on the lever. Lever Blade Lever Fig. 6 Fig.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF SAW BLADE MOUNT (1) After use, blow away sawdust, earth, sand, moisture, etc., with air or brush them away with a brush, etc., to ensure that the blade mount can function smoothly. (2) As shown in Fig. 8, carry out lubrication around the blade holder on a periodic basis by use of cutting fluid, etc. Blade holder (1) Press a pushbutton. When you do this, a base lever will jump out to prepare the base for adjustment. (Fig. 11) Push button Lever Base lever Machine oil Fig.
Straight cutting Change lever Switch trigger Fig. 15 Dial Graduation Fig. 14 (1) If you pull the trigger further in, the speed of the blade accelerates. Begin cutting at a low speed to ensure the accuracy of your target cut position. Once you’ve obtained a sufficient cutting depth, increase the cutting speed. (2) On the dial scale, “5” is the maximum speed and “1” the minimum.
䡬 Select a saw blade of the most appropriate length. Ideally, the length protruding from the base of the saw blade after subtracting the stroke quantity should be larger than the material (see Fig. 17 and Fig. 18). Flange of front cover Front cover Stroke 䡬 To maximize cutting efficiency for the materials you are using and working conditions, adjust the speed of the saw blade and the switching to swing cutting. 1.
