Frequently Asked Questions - 242-167 Meec Tools

How do I switch between crosscut/mitre saw and table circular saw modes?
To switch to table saw mode, loosen the adjustment knob on the cleaver blade, tip it forward, open the blade guard, and press the cleaver blade sideways outside the saw blade. Then release the depth stop, lower the top fully, and lock it. Press the release handle and rotate the table 180° on its hinges until it locks with the underside facing up. For crosscut mode, reverse the steps.
How do I change the saw blade?
Set the saw to crosscut/mitre mode, lift the top part fully. Use the spindle lock to stop the blade, then remove the blade bolt and flange. Replace with a tempered metal blade (254 mm, max 4200 rpm) ensuring the rotation direction matches. Reattach flange and bolt, tighten, and check the gap between blade and cleaver is 5-6 mm.
How do I adjust the bevel angle?
Loosen the bevel setting handle under the angled saw table. Use the depth adjustment knob to tilt the saw blade to the desired angle (up to 45°). Tighten the handle. For table saw mode, also fit the bevel guide in the outer slot.
How do I adjust the mitre angle?
Loosen the adjustment screws on the fence guide (18) to rotate the turntable (16) to the desired angle (0° to 45°). Tighten the screws. The mitre angle gauge can be calibrated by lowering the top and checking with a right-angled triangle.
How do I set the cutting depth?
Turn the depth adjustment knob (2) to set the cutting depth. Ensure the saw blade does not contact any part of the saw when lowering, especially at mitre/bevel angles. For thin workpieces, release the depth stop; for thick ones, connect it.
How should I clean and maintain the saw?
Remove sawdust with a vacuum or brush. Wipe external parts with a damp cloth. Lubricate all moving parts with light oil. Clean the motor vents to prevent blockage. Never use corrosive detergents on the blade. Replace carbon brushes (9) when worn.
What type of saw blade can I use?
Use only tempered metal blades (254 mm diameter) designed for wood, aluminium, or similar materials. Never use high-speed steel blades, grinding discs, or blades with a maximum speed lower than 4200 rpm. Avoid bent or missing-tooth blades.
What safety precautions should I take?
Always wear ear protection and a face mask if needed. Never stand directly behind the blade. Use a screw clamp for round workpieces. Lock the upper guard except when changing blades. Ensure the saw is on a stable surface. Never use guards to lift or carry.
How do I fit the parallel fence?
Mount the parallel fence (j) on the guide rail (19) and secure with clamping screw (m). Adjust the rear screw (k) so the back edge is level with the front edge of the saw blade. For small workpieces, turn the bulge toward the blade; for others, away.
How do I transport or store the saw?
Lower the top part fully and press the lock pin to lock it in place. Use the carrying handles (22) to move the saw. Note it is very heavy; use proper lifting techniques. Store in a dry place, free from shavings and sawdust.

Read the Operating Instructions carefully before use!

General

  • Do not use the saw for grooving, rabbeting or routing.
  • Do not use to cut items larger than the dimensions specified under Capacity in the section Technical Data.
  • Make sure that the work area is free from shavings and sawdust.
  • The saw must be placed/fitted on a stable surface so that it cannot move during sawing.
  • The saw must not be used for cutting round timber or logs.
  • Never lock the upper guard in its open position, except when changing blades as described below. Never remove the lower guard unless the saw is being used as a circular saw.
    • Take care not to trap fingers or other parts of the body when angling the worktable.
  • Lock the top of the saw in lowered position when moving the saw.
  • Never use the guards to lift or carry the saw.

Saw blade

  • Make sure that the spindle and flanges for fitting the saw blade are always clean.
  • Never use high-speed steel blades.
  • Never use grinding or cutting discs.
    • Always use the correct type of saw blade for the actual model. For use only on wood, aluminium or similar materials.
    • Never use saw blades if the maximum speed is lower than the maximum rotation speed of the tool.
  • Never use blades that are bent or have teeth missing.
  • Never use oversized blades.
  • Check that the orientation of the blade corresponds with the direction of rotation of the motor.
  • Never use a saw blade that is thicker than the cleaver blade.
  • Always wear protective gloves when handling the saw blade. Never place your hands near the saw blade or try to remove material from the work area while the blade is rotating.

Before use

- Round workpieces must be secured with screw clamps or the like, as the rotating blade can cause them to spin.

ENGLISH

  • If the blade gets stuck, it can cause the workpiece to violently kick back towards the user. For this reason, never stand directly behind the saw blade when sawing.
  • Wear a face mask if excessive amounts of dust are generated or when sawing materials that are a health hazard.
    • Never stop the saw blade by pressing down on the saw, or by pressing on the side of the blade.
    • The saw blade will continue to run for a short while after the machine has been switched off.

Always wear ear protection.

The declared vibration value, which has been measured by a standardised test method, can be used to compare different tools with each other and for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: The actual vibration level when using power tools may differ from the specified maximum value, depending on how the tool is used. It is therefore necessary to determine which safety precautions are required to protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in actual operating conditions (taking into account all stages of the work cycle, e.g. the time when the tool is switched off and when it is idling, in addition to the start-up time).
