Cleaning And Maintenance; Replacing The Saw Blade - MacAllister MSPS1200 Let's Get Started

MSPS1200 by MACAllister

Cleaning and maintenance

Ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug is removed from the power point
before making any adjustments or carrying out maintenance procedures.
Cleaning
• Keep the tool's air ven ts unclogged and clean at all times.
• Remove dust and dirt regularly with a cloth or soft brush.
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts. A damp cloth is recommended.
Water must never come into contact with the saw.
• Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
Blade maintenance
• Regularly check that the blade is free from a build up of gum resins or sawdust.
If necessary clean with an appropriate cleaning agent or multi-use lubricant
spray.
• Regularly check the saw blade for flatness. Use of the saw with a buckled blade
places excessive load on the motor and gearbox assembly, and may affect your
warranty rights.
• Check the tungsten carbide teeth regularly for sharpness and breakages;
re-sharpen or replace the blade as required. Note that when re-sharpening, the
bevel angles on the front of the teeth should be retained.

Replacing the saw blade

WARNING : Before any maintenance work always switch off the
plunge saw and disconnect from mains power.
Only use Ø165x20mm blades with a kerf between 2.2 & 3.5mm, designed for
circular saws with a no-load speed rating of at least 6000/min.
Never fit high speed steel blades or abrasive discs. Fitting of other purpose or
different sized blades will void the warranty.
Do not fit inferior blades. Regularly check the blade is flat, sharp and free of
cracks or defects.
1. Loosen the front and rear bevel lock knobs (4 and 12) and swivel the plunge
saw to 0° position before changing the saw blade. Tighten both bevel lock
knobs again.
