2.3 SAFETY SYSTEMS
-Blade Guard: a protection device that avoids acci-
dental contacts with the blade.
It is obligatory to have this device securely mounted
before the machine is turned on.
-Overload pro ec ion: the overload protection stops
the motor in case of overload. Wait a few minutes
before turning the motor on again.
-Con rol Swi ch: easy access to the Start- Stop but-
tons. In case of interruption of electrical power saw
will remains OFF until Start button is again engaged.
This prevents the saw from turning on accidentally
when electrical power is restored.

5.2 INSTALLATION OF THE BLADE
OR PROFILE WHEEL- USED ONLY ON FRS 51
• ALWAYS urn off he machine and discon-
nec he power source before ins alling or
replacing he blade.
• ONLY use correc size ools for ins alling
Blade.
• ONLY use good quali y diamond blades
according o machines fea ures and for he
ma erial o be cu .
• Always use he required blade diame er
because i affec s he maximum cu ing
dep h and he useful cu ing leng h.
• Be sure he diamond blade is correc ly
balanced and ensioned and is properly
igh ened on arbor.
• Avoid cu ing pieces of ma erial ha are
oo big, oo small, or difficul o se prop-
erly on working able.
• The blade life depends on its daily use type and thick-
ness of piece to cut and proper water flow to keep it
cool.
• The blade should be replaced whenever the cutting
quality is not optimal because it could be worn out or
deformed. Operating with a worn out or defective
blade could be dangerous.
• Replace the blade or install the profile wheel by stand-
ing in front of the machine as follows.
1. Tilt the blade 45° and loosen the 2 screws A (Fig. 7)
behind the blade guard with a 10mm wrench and re-
move the guard B (Fig. 7).
2. Hold the motor spindle C (Fig. 7) and unscrew the blade
shaft nut (CW) clockwise using the 30mm wrench D
(Fig. 7) supplied (only on FRS 51). For the FS-30 &
38 hold the motor shaft from turning with a 6mm hex
key inserted into the back side of the motor and loosen
the nut (CW) with a 19mm wrench.
3. Once the blade is removed check the outer flange E
(Fig. 7) and inner flange interior surfaces and if needed
replace or clean them to remove any debris that might
prevent the blade from properly seating inside the
flanges.
No e: When using the thick-cored profile wheel on the
FRS 51 do not use the outer flange E (Fig. 7).
4. Mount the new blade in the direction of the rotation
arrow marked on the blade F (Fig. 7). It must be the
same direction as the arrow on the blade guard. (clock-
wise from the front).
