1. The power plug and/or power cord are defective.
2. The switch is defective.
3. Smoke comes out or there is a burning smell.

WARNING : Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: Lead from lead-based paint, crystalline silica from bricks and cements and other masonry products, and Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated Lumber.

Safety instructions for all saws

a) DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on the body of the motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the work piece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the work piece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the work piece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the work piece.
d) Never hold the work piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the work piece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work piece properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold the Rotorazer Saw® Platinum by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the Rotorazer Saw® Platinum “live” could/may shock the operator.
f) When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
g) Always use blades with the correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor holes that adapt perfectly to the hole they are inserted.
Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.

Further safety instructions for all saws
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:

• Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the work piece toward the operator;
• When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;
• If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.

Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.

a) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
b) When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless on the work piece until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work piece or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
c) When restarting a saw in the work piece, center the saw blade in the kerf/groove and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the work piece as the saw is restarted.
d) Provide support for large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf/groove causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making cut.
If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
g) Use extra caution when making a “plunge cut” into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback

Safety instructions

a) Check blade guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if blade guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the blade guard into the open position. If saw is accidentally dropped, blade guard may be bent. Raise the blade guard by the sole plate and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation of the blade guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Blade guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, sticky residue, or an accumulation of debris.
c) Blade guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound cuts.” Raise blade guard by sole plate and as soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the blade guard should operate automatically.
d) Always observe that the blade guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected, spinning blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop spinning after switch is released

• DO NOT use any abrasive wheels.
• Use only blade diameter(s) in accordance with the markings

WARNING
Working with some kinds of wood and metal or with paint that contains lead can generate harmful or toxic gases that are a risk for the user and other people in the work area. Always wear suitable personal protection and keep people from getting too close to the work area.

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.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Operation / Start-Up
With this tool, the material to be cut is held between the base plate (7) and the support surface.
The blade penetrates into the material to make a clean cut that is faster and safer

Turning On and Off
a) Slide the ON/OFF switch (4) forward to turn on the tool. The device will be operating whenever the switch is moved forward.
b) To turn off the power, slide the switch to the OFF position.

WARNING
Always unplug the tool before making any adjustments to it.
Adjusting the Cutting Depth (See Figure 1)

Note : We recommend adjusting the cutting depth at least 2 mm deeper than the thickness of the material. This will result in a clean cut.

The cutting depth can be changed by adjusting the lever.
a) Loosen the adjustment screw (5) and move the depth lever until the front end of the lever is on the mark of the depth scale you want (5a). The even millimeter values on the depth scale are indicated with long lines and the odd values with short lines.
b) Tighten the adjusting lever (5) again.

Fitting the Parallel Fence
Release the screw of the parallel fence (9a) at the base plate (7) and insert the parallel fence (11) into the parallel fence fixture (9) . Retighten these screws (9a).

Handling the Plunge Saw

1. Put the machine onto the material and switch it on as described in the chapter “Turning on and off ”.
2. If necessary adjust the machine to the parallel fence (9) or a drawn line.
3. Hold the machine as shown in Figure A and cut with light pressure.
4. Push the plunge blocker release 1 towards the front and keep it pressed.

Recommendations for working with the Rotorazer Saw® Platinum
a) Select the right blade for the material you are going to cut.
b) Make sure the blade is sharp and in good condition.
c) Adjust the blade to the desired cutting depth (Figure A).
d) Place the work piece you want to cut on a table, workbench or any other suitable surface and hold it in place with clamps or a vice. Place sufficient scrap material under the work piece so you do not make cuts in the support surface or break the blade due to contact with the hard support surface such as a concrete floor.
e) Hold the Rotorazer Saw® Platinum in your hand in a comfortable position. Your thumb or index finger should be resting on the ON/OFF switch. Make sure your hand does not cover the ventilation holes on the front or back of the device.
f) Place the base plate on the work piece. To leave a gap from the work piece, place the saw so the back part of the base plate sticks out. Do not let the saw blade penetrate into the work piece yet.
g) Turn on the tool and wait a few seconds until the blade is moving at the operating speed.
Press the lever (1) for releasing the blade guard and allow the blade to slowly penetrate into the work piece while applying some pressure.
h) Move the tool forward while you cut through the work piece. Never move the tool backward while the blade is in the work piece.
i) Do not apply great force when cutting with the tool. Applying too much pressure creates wear and tear and can tire you unnecessarily.
j) Make sure the base plate (7) is always flat on the work piece. This is particularly important when cutting narrow bars that are not completely covered by the base plate.

Cutting Along a Line
Using the indicator on the front and rear of the blade guard makes it easier to cut along a straight line.

Plunge Cutting (see Figure A)
It is sometimes impossible to make plunge cuts in certain very hard materials.
a) Adjust the cutting depth (5a), connect the tool to the power source and place the base plate on the work piece. Make sure the depth setting on the side is the same for all cuts.
b) Turn on the tool and wait two seconds until the blade is spinning at the working speed. Then allow the blade to slowly penetrate into the work piece while applying some pressure. Move the tool forward while you cut through the work piece. Never move the tool backward while the blade is in the work piece.
c) When you reach the end of the cut, turn off the saw and take it out of the work piece.

Cutting Difficult Materials and Materials that Create a Lot of Dust
Before trying to cut difficult materials, you should familiarize yourself with how the tool works by cutting wood. To cut hard materials like metal and some plastics, more pressure has to be applied from above.

WARNING! Never cut a material that generates dust or dangerous fumes when working, such as some plastics and materials that contain asbestos.

Sheet Metal

a) Adjust the cutting depth so it is at least 1 mm greater than the thickness of the material.
Always place scrap material under the work piece.
b) Eliminate any deep scratches and rusty areas from the surface of the material, since they make it much more difficult to move the tool forward.
c) After every 2 minutes spent cutting metal, you should stop for at least a 3-minute break to let the tool cool down.

Recommendation: Use suitable cutting fluid if necessary.

Floor tiles, slate and similar materials
a) Always use the right cutting blades for this job.
b) Always connect the tool to a suitable dust extractor. The dust generated during cutting can be hazardous to the health and clog the blade guard.
c) Place adhesive or duct tape on the base plate to facilitate cutting and prevent any scratching.

Drywall
a) This tool can be used to cut sheets of drywall but with certain limitations. Use it only to make cuts and always connect it to a dust extraction device while you are working. The dust can affect how the blade guard works.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

WARNING
Remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning or doing maintenance work on the tool.

Cleaning
a) Keep protectors, ventilation holes and the motor body as free of dust and dirt as possible.
b) Wipe the tool with a clean cloth or use low-pressure compressed air.
c) Clean the tool immediately after each use.
d) Do not use any cleaning products or solvents that could damage the plastic parts.
Make sure water does not get inside the tool.

Storage
When the tool is not in use, place it in the storage case and store it in a dry, well-ventilated place out of reach of children, such as a high cupboard or a closed space.
