Frequently Asked Questions - 70297 Draper
What is the maximum cutting depth of the Draper 70297 saw?
The maximum cutting depth at 90 degrees is 62 mm. At 45 degrees it drops to 44 mm, which lets you make accurate bevel cuts.
Can I use the Draper 70297 to cut metal?
Yes, when you install a suitable metal-cutting blade. The 184 mm blade diameter and 20 mm arbor must be matched to the blade. Always observe the maximum no-load speed of 4500 rpm.
How do I change the saw blade?
First disconnect the saw from the mains, then press the spindle lock and use the included blade spanner to undo the central bolt. Remove the guard, slide out the old blade and fit the new one with teeth facing forwards.
Why is the saw slowing down during cuts?
Check for a worn blade, blocked air vents or too much pressure on the tool. Always allow the saw to cut at its own speed and use a sharp, correct blade.
How do I set the cutting depth?
Loosen the depth-adjustment lever, set the sole plate so the blade protrudes no more than 5 mm below the material, then tighten the lever again. This reduces kickback and improves finish.
What type of dust extraction does it use?
The saw includes a dust extraction adaptor that can be connected to a workshop vacuum cleaner. It prevents sawdust from covering the cutting line and improves workplace safety.
Can I cut at an angle other than 45 degrees?
Yes, the sole plate tilts through a range up to 45 degrees. Turn the bevel-adjustment knob to the required angle and lock it securely before starting the cut.
What maintenance is required for the Draper 70297?
Keep the tool clean and free of dust, inspect the mains cable regularly and check the carbon brushes after every 100 hours of use. Replace worn brushes with genuine Draper spares.
Does the saw have double insulation?
Yes, the Draper 70297 is double insulated, so it does not need an earth wire. It uses a standard two-pin UK plug and is safe without an earth connection.
Where can I find the serial number?
The serial number is printed on the rating label on the main housing. Keep a note of it when ordering spare parts or making a warranty enquiry.
