Clarke 6470161 CCO14C Abrasive Cut-Off Instructions

To change the blade, first ensure the saw is unplugged. Remove the blade guard by loosening the screws. Use the provided wrench to hold the spindle while loosening the arbor bolt. Remove the old blade, replace it with a new one, and securely tighten the arbor bolt before reattaching the blade guard.
Ensure the saw is on a stable surface. Use a square to check the alignment of the blade with the base. Adjust the fence by loosening the bolts and aligning it perpendicularly to the blade, then retighten the bolts. Make test cuts on scrap material to confirm accuracy.
Check that the power cord is plugged into a working outlet. Inspect the fuse or circuit breaker to ensure it's not tripped. Examine the power switch and wiring for any visible damage. If the problem persists, consult a professional technician.
Regularly clean the saw to remove dust and debris. Lubricate moving parts as per the manufacturer’s guidelines. Inspect the power cord and switch for wear and tear. Periodically check the blade for sharpness and replace if necessary.
The Clarke CCO14C is primarily designed for cutting metal. However, with the appropriate blade, it can cut other materials like masonry. Ensure the blade is suitable for the specific material you intend to cut.
Unplug the saw and clean it thoroughly. Store it in a dry location away from moisture and dust. Keep the blade guard in place and ensure the saw is stable and secure to prevent accidental falls or damage.
Ensure the arbor bolt is tightened securely. Check for any damage or warping of the blade. If the blade is damaged, replace it immediately. Verify that the flange and washers are correctly positioned and undamaged.
Yes, it is normal for abrasive cut-off saws to produce sparks when cutting metal. Ensure you are wearing appropriate safety gear, such as goggles and gloves, and operate the saw in a safe environment away from flammable materials.
