Frequently Asked Questions - Storm Force 98468 Draper
What type of blade does the Storm Force 98468 use?
This circular saw uses a 190 mm blade with a 20 mm arbor. Standard TCT (tungsten carbide tipped) blades are recommended for clean cuts in wood and wood-based materials.
How do I change the blade?
Disconnect the saw from the mains. Use the supplied spanner to loosen the blade bolt. Press the spindle lock to hold the shaft, turn the bolt clockwise (left-hand thread). Remove the outer flange, old blade, and replace with a new one, ensuring the teeth point in the direction of rotation. Tighten the bolt securely.
Can I use it for cutting metal?
The saw is primarily designed for wood and wood composites. With an appropriate metal-cutting blade, it can cut aluminum and soft metals, but you must reduce the speed and use cutting fluid for better results. Always wear appropriate protection.
What safety precautions should I take?
Always wear eye protection, hearing protection, and a dust mask. Keep the blade guard secure and check that the retraction mechanism works. Never remove the guards. Ensure the workpiece is clamped, and avoid cutting near the body. Use the safety lock-off switch to prevent accidental starts.
How do I adjust the cutting depth?
Loosen the depth adjustment knob located on the base plate. Set the base so that the blade extends about 5 mm below the workpiece, then tighten the knob securely. This minimizes the risk of kickback and improves cut quality.
How do I connect a dust extractor?
Attach a vacuum or dust extraction hose to the dust port on the back of the saw. The included dust extraction adaptor fits standard 35 mm and 40 mm hoses. Ensure the vacuum is switched on before starting the saw.
What is the maximum cutting depth at 45 degrees?
When the base is adjusted to a 45-degree bevel, the maximum cutting depth is 45 mm. This allows accurate angled cuts for framing and trim work.
How do I maintain the saw?
After each use, clean the saw with a soft brush or compressed air to remove sawdust. Regularly check the carbon brushes and replace them when they are worn. Keep the blade sharp and check the tension. Periodically inspect the power cord for damage and always store the saw in a dry place.
Is the saw suitable for cutting aluminum?
Yes, with the correct blade and reduced speed. Use a blade specifically designed for non-ferrous metals, and lubricate the cut with a wax stick to prevent binding. Always clamp the workpiece securely and wear protective equipment.
What does the ripping fence do?
The included rip fence helps make straight, parallel cuts along the length of a board. Attach it to the base plate and adjust its distance from the blade to the desired width. This improves accuracy and reduces operator fatigue.
