Blades must be cooled. Accordingly the floor saw COBRA 40/45 has a water spray system that ensures a
steady stream of water.
The blade safeguard of COBRA-50 can be lifted from one of its ends: assembly and blade replacement are
then quick and easy.
To place or replace the blade, you must proceed as follows:
x In machines with a steel safeguard, loosen the protection locks C, Fig.4 and open the foldable part of protection
Fig.4.
x For other safeguards, loosen the screws A, Fig.4.1 holding the safeguard to the chassis. It is not necessary to
completely remove it. Raise the safeguard to the maximum onto its rotation axis. B, Fig. 4.1
x Block the rotation of the blade shaft with the 30 mm spanner (L, Fig.7) supplied with the machine. The blade shaft
has two flat faces to allow placing the spanner without any trouble.
x Loosen the screw of the blade shaft (T, Fig.4) with the 36 mm flat spanner (M, Fig.4) and remove the outer flange
(E, Fig.4).
WARNING: the nut is left-threaded.
x Place the blade on the shaft and coincide the small hole with the dowel pin of the inner flange plate. (I, Fig.4).
x Place the outer flange plate making sure the dowel pin passes through the blade into the rear flange plate.
x Tighten firmly the safeguard using the two flat spanners provided.
Make sure that the rotation of the blade is always correct. It must coincide with the arrow marked on the
x
blade as well as with the one marked on the blade safeguard.
Make sure the blade and the flanges are perfectly tuned before tightening the nut.
