Frequently Asked Questions - DSC162 MAKITA
How to change the blade of the DSC162 circular saw?
Unplug the saw, press the spindle lock to immobilize the blade, then use a wrench to unscrew the central screw. Remove the flange and the blade, place the new blade respecting the rotation direction, then screw back and tighten firmly.
What type of blade to use for cutting metal?
To cut metal, use a metal-specific blade, typically made of tungsten carbide with a low number of teeth. Make sure the diameter and bore match the DSC162 saw.
How to adjust the cutting depth?
Unlock the sole adjustment knob, place the saw on the workpiece and adjust the desired depth according to the material thickness. Tighten the knob to lock the position. The maximum depth is 55 mm at 90°.
How to make a bevel cut?
Unlock the bevel lever, tilt the sole to the desired angle (usually up to 45°) and retighten the lever. The cutting depth is then reduced to 40 mm. Make sure the workpiece is properly stabilized.
Why does the saw not start?
First check the power source and the cable. If the cable is in good condition, the problem may come from worn motor carbon brushes or the spindle lock accidentally activated. Consult the manual to replace the brushes.
How to clean the saw after use?
Unplug the tool, blow the inside with compressed air to remove dust, clean the blade with a damp non-abrasive cloth and check that the ventilation slots are not blocked. Avoid aggressive solvents.
What safety precautions should be taken?
Always wear safety goggles, a dust mask and hearing protectors. Check that the blade is not damaged and that the protective guard works properly. Do not wear loose clothing and maintain a stable posture.
How to replace motor carbon brushes?
Unscrew the brush caps located on the motor housing, remove the old brushes, insert the new ones respecting their direction, then screw the caps back on. After replacement, let the saw run idle for a few minutes for a break-in.
What suction power to connect the vacuum cleaner?
The saw's dust extraction outlet accepts a 36 mm diameter hose. Use a vacuum cleaner with sufficient suction power to collect the sawdust. A shop vacuum is recommended for optimal results.
How to transport the saw safely?
Before transport, wait until the blade has completely stopped and store the saw in a carrying case. If you use the protective guard, make sure it is locked. Remove the battery if the device is cordless, or unplug the cable.
