ASSEMBLY
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 1E)
(20) HW Circular saw blade Z85 / 30
Description: 85 mm, 30 HW-teeth
Suitable for: Soft wood, hard wood, boards of any type, plastics
(21) Diamond cutting disc Z85VR
Description: 85 mm, without teeth
Suitable for: Ceramics, plastics
(22) HS Circular saw blade Z85 / 36
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, 1C)
1. Operate the spindle lock (13) and loosen the clamping screw (18) with the Allen key (to open
turn clockwise). Now lift off the clamping screw and washer (18) and the clamping flange (17)
(see also Figure D).
2. Adjust cutting depth to the maximum position.
3. Swing the base plate (9) upwards.
4. Take off the saw blade.
5. Refitting of the saw blade is the reversal of the removal.
6. Operate the spindle lock (13) (until it clicks into place) and, using the Allen key, tighten the
clamping screw (18). The arrow on the saw blade must coincide with the arrow for the direction
of rotation (marked on the appliance).
Dust Extraction Hose (see Figure 1C, 1E)
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 (19), which is in turn attached to the
connector for the dust extraction device.
a) Unplug the Rotorazer Saw® Platinum and attach the hose (19) to the connector for the dust
extraction device (14).
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. If necessary, wrap duct tape around the hose
for added strength.
Tips
1. Make sure that the 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.
Operation / Start-Up
With this tool, the material to be cut is held between the base plate (9) 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 (6) 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)
The cutting depth can be changed by adjusting the lever.
a) Loosen the adjustment screw (7) and move the depth lever until the front end of the lever is on
the mark of the depth scale you want (7a). 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 (7) again.
