WHEN THE BLADE IS BROKEN
Even when the saw blade is broken and remains
inside the small slit of the plunger, it should fall out
if you turn the holder sleeve in the direction of the
arrow mark, secure the holder sleeve, and face the
blade downward. If it doesn’t fall out itself, take it
out using the procedures explained below.
(1) If a part of the broken saw blade is sticking out of
the small slit of the plunger, pull out the
protruding part and take the blade out.
(2) If the broken saw blade is hidden inside the
small slit, hook the broken blade using a tip of
another saw blade and take it out. (Fig. 8)
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) Periodically lubricate the saw blade mount with
machine oil through the semicircular slit at a
state where the holder sleeve is turned in the
direction of the arrow mark shown in Fig. 3. (Fig.
9)
NOTE:
If the saw blade mount is used without proper cleaning and lubrication, the rotation
of the holder sleeve may be hampered by sawdust and particles of dust, disabling you
to remove the saw blade with your fingers.
In such a case, hold the periphery of the holder sleeve lightly using a pair of pliers and
the like, and turn the holder sleeve to left and right little by little. After the saw blade
has been successfully removed, be absolutely sure to clean it up with air, etc., carry
out proper lubrication, and then check and see if the saw blade mount can function
smoothly.
8. Adjusting the base
This unit employs a mechanism that can adjust the
base mounting position in three stages without the
use of a wrench or other tools.
(1) Press a pushbutton. When you do this, a base
lever will jump out to prepare the base for
adjustment (Fig. 10)
