Before using for the first time
Unpacking
1. Open the shipper box and carefully remove the case.
2. Remove the packing material.
3. Remove the packing protection and transport materials (as applicable).
4. Check to make sure the case contains all the parts.
5. Check the tool and accessories to determine if any damaged occurred during transport.
6. If possible, keep the box until the warranty has expired. Then dispose of the box
while respecting the environment by taking it to a recycling center.
Always select the correct blade type for your cutting material.
BLADE TYPE (Refer to Figure E)
(18) Tungsten Carbide cutting blade - Model# RRPTC01
Description: 85 mm, 30 HW-teeth
Suitable for: Soft wood, hard wood, boards of any type, plastics
(19) Diamond cutting blade - Model# RRPD01
Description: 85 mm, without teeth
Suitable for: Ceramics, tile
(20) High-Speed Steel cutting blade - Model# RRPS01
Description: 85 mm, 36 teeth – tooth setting left / right
Suitable for: Soft wood, soft metals such as aluminium, copper, plastics
WARNING
Wear gloves to prevent cuts. Do not use under any circumstances abrasive wheels.
Replacing the Saw Blade (see Figure 1 and A-D)
1. Push down the spindle lock (11) and loosen the clamping screw (16) with the Allen key (to open
turn clockwise). Now lift off the clamping screw and washer (16) and the clamping flange (15).
2. Adjust cutting depth to the maximum position.
3. Swing the base plate (7) upwards.
4. Take off the saw blade.
5. Refitting of the saw blade is the reversal of the removal.
6. Push down the spindle lock (11) (until it clicks into place) and, using the Allen key (13), tighten
the clamping screw (16). The arrow on the saw blade must coincide with the arrow for the
direction of rotation (marked on the appliance).
WARNING
a) Unplug the machine when replacing the blade, and properly press the
RED spindle lock button to lock the spindle and remove the clamping flange.
b) Do not use the machine in any case when the spindle lock
is blocked. Slightly push the spindle lock button.
c) If the spindle lock can not reset by pressing the spindle lock
button, loosen the clamping flange with the Allen key and turn the blade back and forth
manually. The spindle lock will reset to its normal position.
Dust Extraction Hose (see Figure C, E)
Extracting dust is very helpful for keeping the work area clean because a great deal of dust is
produced when working with the Rotorazer Saw® Platinum. Because the cutting blade is almost
completely enclosed in the saw body, extracting dust is particularly effective in this case. A dust
extractor or vacuum cleaner can be attached to the hose (17), which is in turn attached to the
connector for the dust extraction device.
a) Unplug the Rotorazer Saw® Platinum and attach the hose (17) to the connector for the dust
extraction device (12).
b) Check to make sure the blade guard moves freely. Use a cone-shaped adapter to connect the
hose to a dust extractor or a vacuum cleaner.
Tips
1. Make sure that a dust extractor can be used with a Rotorazer Saw® Platinum.
Most dry and wet household vacuum cleaners can be used.
2. Using a dust extractor is very practical when making several cuts one after another because
it reduces the need to stop as often to clean the tool and the work area.
3. Always use a dust extractor when cutting materials that generate dust that can be harmful,
such as certain kinds of wood flooring, medium-density fibre board and ceramic.
