Frequently Asked Questions - FME380 STANLEY
What type of blades can I use with the FME380 saw?
You can use a hardened steel blade (wood, aluminum, plastic, laminate), a diamond blade (ceramic, tile), or a carbide-tipped blade (wood, plastic). Use only 89 mm diameter blades conforming to EN 847-1.
How do I change the saw blade?
1. Set the cutting depth to maximum. 2. Press the spindle lock button (14). 3. Remove the blade bolt (9) by turning the hex key clockwise. 4. Release the spindle lock. 5. Remove the flange (8). 6. Lift the base plate and remove the blade. 7. Insert the new blade respecting the rotation direction. 8. Reinstall the flange and tighten the bolt counterclockwise while holding the spindle lock.
How do I adjust the cutting depth?
Loosen the clamp (3), adjust the depth using the scale (2) from 0 to 28.5 mm, then retighten the clamp. For optimal cut, the blade should not protrude more than 3 mm below the workpiece. Note that actual depth with a diamond blade may differ by about 2 mm.
How do I use the laser guide?
Turn on the laser by switching the switch (12a) on the laser housing. Never look directly into the laser beam (class II). To clean the lens, unplug the saw and use a soft damp cloth; do not use solvents. If the laser becomes less visible due to direct sunlight, change your work area.
What are the important safety instructions?
Read the entire manual. Always wear eye protection, hearing protection, and a dust mask. Hold the saw with both hands on the insulated gripping surfaces. Never place your hands under the workpiece. Ensure the workpiece is secure. Check the proper operation of the lower blade guard before each use. Disconnect the tool before changing blades or performing maintenance.
How do I avoid kickback?
Hold the saw firmly with both hands, position your body to one side of the blade. Use sharp and appropriate blades. Support large panels on both sides. Do not force the tool. If the blade binds, immediately release the trigger and hold the saw steady until the blade comes to a complete stop.
Can I use the saw to cut metal?
Yes, for cutting aluminum, brass, copper, or lead, use a hardened steel blade. Set the depth at least 1 mm deeper than the metal thickness. Limit cutting cycles to 2 minutes followed by a 3-minute break. Do not use a vacuum cleaner when cutting metal.
How do I maintain the FME380 saw?
Clean ventilation slots regularly with a soft brush or dry cloth. Clean the motor housing with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive or solvent-based detergents. Have the tool inspected by a professional if rotating parts jam, speed drops abnormally, tool vibrates, or motor overheats.
How do I perform a plunge cut?
Press the button (10) to release the base plate. Switch on the tool and wait for full speed. Tilt the tool forward aligning the cut line indicator with the cut line on the workpiece. Move the tool forward progressively. Never pull the tool backward during the cut.
How do I use the parallel guide?
Loosen the knob (5) of the parallel guide. Set the desired cutting width using the guide scale. Use the cut line indicator (20) as zero reference point. Tighten the knob (5) to lock the guide. The guide can be inserted on either side of the base plate.
