Warranty

The warranty exclusively applies to material or manufacturing defects. The original proof of purchase including the date of purchase must be submitted when applying a claim in the warranty period. The warranty does not cover any unauthorised use such as machine overload, violent use, damage by a foreign person or an undesirable item. The failure to follow the Operating Instructions and assembly instructions and common wear and tear are also excluded from the warranty.

Behaviour in case of emergency

Provide necessary first aid treatment corresponding to the injury nature and seek qualified medical help as soon as possible. Protect the injured person from other injuries and calm him/her down.

In case of accident, first aid kit must always be available in the place of your work in accordance with DIN 13164.
Material taken out of the first aid kit needs to be supplemented right away.
Please provide the following details if help is needed:

1. Place of accident
2. Accident nature
3. Number of injured persons
4. Injury type

Disposal

The disposal instructions are based on icons placed on the machine or its package. The description of the meanings can be found in the “Marking“ section.

Transport package disposal
The package protects the machine against damage during transport. Packing materials are usually chosen depending on their environmental friendliness and disposal method and can therefore be recycled. Returning the package to material circulation saves raw materials and reduces waste disposal costs. Parts of packages (e.g. foils, styropor®) can be dangerous to children. Risk of suffocation!
Keep parts of the package away from children and dispose them as soon as possible.

Operation (Pic. 1, 2, 3, 5, 9 and 10)

Circular saw blade assembly

• Remove the blade receiver regulator (pict. 3/5), fishplates (pict. 3/1), spring (pict. 3/2) and clamping flange (pict. 3/3).
• Place the circular saw blade on the pivot bolt and assemble all parts in right order together. The circular saw blade cannot be tightened completely, it must rotate freely.

Circular saw blade configuration

• Circular saw blade shall be calibrated.
• Grinding wheel must run parallel to the plane of the saw blade.

Adjustable arm configuration – (pict. 1 and 5)

• You must calibrate the adjustable arm of the blade sharpener according to saw blade size (pict. 1/2).
• After you loose the wing nut (pict. 1/3), you are able to pull out the adjustable arm (pict. 1/2), (see pict. 5/2) and turn it around (see pict. 5/1).
• You can sharpen saw blade from 90 to 400 mm diameter by moving the pin (pict. 1/13) on the base board (pict. 5/3) and also by movable block (pict. 5/4).

Examples:

Picture 6: Circular saw blade of 90 mm diameter- motor (pict. 1/4) must be shifted to the back.
Picture 7: Circular saw blade of 230 mm diameter- motor (pict. 1/4) must be shifted to the front.
Picture 8: Circular saw blade of 400 mm diameter- motor (pict. 1/4) must be shifted to the front and the arm shall be positioned so the wing nut (pict. 1/13) will not intersect with saw blade.

Depth gauge (pict. 1 a 9)

• Bended saw blade – motor (pict. 1/4) bevel angle must be set to correspond with saw blade bending (pict. 9).

• Loose the two nuts (pict. 1/14) and tilt the motor (pict.
  1/4) until you see the required angle on the angular scale (1/9).

• Then tighten the nuts (pict. 1/14) back again.

Circular saw blade sharpening (pict. 2 a 10)

• After you adjust everything, set the safety pin (pict. 10) so it will press a little against the saw blade.
• Turn the machine on and start sharpening the saw blade (pict. 2/10).
• Press the handle (pict. 2/14) down so the rotation of the grinding wheel corresponds with saw blade rotation and the depth gauge is reached.
• Pull the grinding wheel back and turn the saw blade so another tooth can be sharpened.
• Repeat these steps until all teeth are sharpened.
• In case of double teeth disc, sharpen every second tooth, then change the angle and sharpen the rest of teeth.
