 Conventional tools such as keyhole saws or knives

generally give excellent results, though the EXAKT

Precision Saw can be used if a particularly neat, dust free

cut is required or if there is a danger of cutting pipes or

cables.

Dust Extraction

The EXAKT Precision saw is a powerful tool capable of

producing a large amount of dust. As the tool has a fully

enclosed blade, forced dust extraction is particularly efficient.

Forced dust extraction should be used for all but small

trimming jobs.

1. A suitable industrial vacuum dust extractor or domestic

vacuum cleaner can be connected to the dust outlet

nozzle of the tool, using the dust hose kit from EXAKT

Precision Tools Ltd.

2. Before using ensure that the metal retaining clip is flush

with the end of the hose.

3. To attach the hose disconnect the tool from the mains

supply. Press the hose end with the metal clip onto the

dust outlet nozzle only as far as the raised ridges on the

tool body. Ensure the guard moves up and down freely.

Press the stepped adaptor onto the vacuum hose. Tape

can be used to assist, if required.

4. Ensure that the vacuum cleaner to be used is

recommended for use with a power tool. Generally most

domestic wet and dry vacuum cleaners are suitable.

5. Forced dust extraction is particularly recommended

when a lot of cutting is being carried out as far fewer

stoppages are required for cleaning the tool and

surrounding area.

6. Forced dust extraction should always be used when

cutting hazardous materials such as hard woods, MDF

or ceramics.

7. Forced dust extraction is recommended when it is

desirable to keep the working area clean.

8. Forced dust extraction is essential if the material being

cut is slightly damp.

Temperature cut-out

The EXAKT Precision Saw is fitted with a temperature cut-

out to prevent the tool overheating.

If the cut-out trips the tool will stop. It will not re-start until the

tool has cooled down. This could take up to 15 minutes.

The temperature cut-out will trip in the following

circumstances:

 Using blunt blades.

 Excess force applied when cutting.

 Continuous cutting of very hard or thick materials.

Using a V Guard

A V Guard can be purchased as an accessory or may be

included in the kit from some suppliers. The V Guard is used

to cut plastic, copper and aluminium pipes as well as

wooden dowel.

1. To fit the V Guard see Guard removal section.

2. For cutting copper or aluminium pipes only use a 60 or

80 tooth blade.

3. Place the pipe so that the area being cut is fully

supported on the work surface.

4. Place the saw on top of the pipe to be cut and use free

hand to rotate the pipe as required. Ensure that the hand

holding the pipe is kept at a safe distance from the

cutting blade.

EC-320 Safety Warnings –

Maintenance and Servicing

Cleaning

Regular cleaning is required for the safe operation of the

tool, as an excessive build up of dust will prevent the tool

operating correctly.

The dust extract nozzle may block and require cleaning

occasionally, especially if damp wood is being cut.

5. Unplug from mains supply and remove guard. (See

Guard Removal Section)

6. Clean thoroughly with a small soft brush, like a paint

brush.

Safety Blade Retaining Washer

The blade is clamped in place using a special safety washer

that is designed to slip if the blade jams. The result is that the

motor slows down, sounds like it is labouring and the tool will

stop cutting. If this happens the operator should immediately

reduce the feed pressure until the motor sounds healthy or

remove the tool from the work piece to prevent permanent

damage. The washer is a consumable item, which should be

replaced if damaged or deformed.

NB. Never replace this washer with anything other than

an EXAKT replacement part. (See List of user-

replacable parts)

Blades

 NB. Always use a sharp blade.

 If the tool does not cut as well as expected or if it

overheats (temperature cut out may trip) the most

common cause is a blunt blade.

 It is difficult to see or feel if the blade is blunt. If in doubt

use a new blade.

 Blades are consumable items.

 Always use EXAKT blades.

 Beware when changing blades as they can become hot

during use. Allow the blade time to cool before replacing.
