HAMMERING!
CAUTION: Take care when setting the tool down to
avoid chipping the tungsten carbide teeth.
When using the Plunge blades, the cut should have
enough clearance on each end (shown in Figure 6), to
ensure that no hammering of the blade ends occurs
(as shown in Figure 7).
5. MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, turn the tool off and disconnect tool
from the power source before making any adjustments
or removing/installing attachments or accessories.
Before reconnecting the tool, depress and release the
trigger switch to ensure that the tool is turned off.
To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
maintenance and adjustment (including brush
inspection and replacement) should be performed by

Brushes
The AS200X is fitted with auto-cut off brushes. When the
brushes are worn below minimum length, they stop tool
operation reducing internal motor damage. Contact your
local dealer or authorized service center for brush
replacement.
2) Belt drive
CAUTION: The belt tension should be checked if
frequent belt slip occurs during use. Continuing to
DIRECTION OF CUT
operate the tool with a loose belt may result in poor
functionality or damage to the pulleys. Replacement is
required if the belt cannot be sufficiently tensioned to
prevent slipping.
If tensioning is required, insert 5mm Allen key through
the slot on the right hand plastic housing and loosen up
the socket screw (one turn only), then pull it upward to
increase the tension and then tighten up at the new
position (see the instruction diagrams). If frequent belt
slipping continues, belt replacement is required.
To replace the belt, contact your ARBORTECH
authorized service center.
3) Blades and teeth
With use, the blades will become dull and the cutting
performance will decrease. Occasionally, if very hard
materials are cut, or the teeth impact a hard surface at
an odd angle, teeth may become chipped or broken. The
blades can still be used, but cutting performance will be
reduced.
If "blueing" of the blade periphery occurs, the blades are
running too hot. This occurs when the blades become
worn, too much force is applied or the material is too
hard.
NOTE: Using sharp blades will improve the performance
and longevity of the tool.
