First time installing the blade that came with the saw metal shavings are being scraped from the lower guard while running? is this normal?

My finance said that his did not do this so I am not sure but would guess no
247909
Not normal, I never had a problem with mine. First thing I would do is check the blade to make sure it is the right size and check for warps

No that is not normal , the blade or blade guard sounds like they are out of adjustment

The wobble is a known issue with these saws. I fixed it by adding a piece of glide strip to the track. To be honest, I don't think the wobble hurts anything. I only fixed it because I obsess over dumb stuff like that. :-)

I had to fiddle a little the first time too so don't feel bad. First, replace the black back plate. The little plastic tab goes in the middle of the retaining wire. Once it is in place, flip out the tab on the blade and hold the blade with this tab. Be careful, those blades are sharp! Try to replace the blade. You will probably need to turn it until it seats fully. Then push the tab back in place.

I had a similar problem on my Bosch which resulted in me removing the laser from my saw and going back to the stock washer and bolt. Sorry I don't have a better answer; I was not happy with the blade stalling in the middle of cuts and didn't take time to chase the issue.

Don't press down so hard let the trimmer do the work. The blade meets the top of the guard if you apply a lot of pressure it will bite. One other thing is if you use them a lot check and see if your blades are sharp

Have you adjusted the depth of the blade? It may be that the piece you are cutting is missing the guard entirely.

Check the plane sole for flatness. I bet there is a high spot on the sole behind the blade. If there is, it needs to be ground, filed or sanded off

In my experience, make sure the aluminum piece that goes up next to the blade is adjusted properly. If not it will rub against the blade. More information would be helpfull

I had the same problem when I first attached the blade....and the instructions sucked; I had to figure out how to do it myself. Vibrated so bad that I couldn't hold it. I simply took the blade off and flipped it over and reattached it and that solved it completely. It runs as smoothly and powerfully as I could want now.

Hello Mark, the dust collection system on this saw is not very good. The saw dust collects in the sliding rail bump stop located towards the rear and if not cleaned often the saw will not have the full sliding capability. Thanks, Calin

amazon asked me to answer this for some reason. are you cutting clean or dirty metal? have you made sure the cut head is assembled correctly? do you have a good ground? mine wont cut unless it has a clean spot to start on. and also clean air is crucial for it to cut good. how old is the plasma? ive cut about 150ft of 1/4 plate flawlessly with only changing the consumables a few times. not sure how plasma savvy you are this isnt a post to offend you just trying to help. hope this helps. also a bad ground on the power side could be causing a issue. are you gettn air flow when you push/pull the trigger? amazon asked me to answer this for some reason. are you cutting clean or dirty metal? have you made sure the cut head is assembled correctly? do you have a good ground? mine wont cut unless it has a clean spot to start on. and also clean air is crucial for it to cut good. how old is the plasma? ive cut about 150ft of 1/4 plate flawlessly with only changing the consumables a few times. not sure how plasma savvy you are this isnt a post to offend you just trying to help. hope this helps. also a bad ground on the power side could be causing a issue. are you gettn air flow when you push/pull... » Read More amazon asked me to answer this for some reason. are you cutting clean or dirty metal? have you made sure the cut head is assembled correctly? do you have a good ground? mine wont cut unless it has a clean spot to start on. and also clean air is crucial for it to cut good. how old is the plasma? ive cut about 150ft of 1/4 plate flawlessly with only changing the consumables a few times. not sure how plasma savvy you are this isnt a post to offend you just trying to help. hope this helps. also a bad ground on the power side could be causing a issue. are you gettn air flow when you push/pull the trigger? « Show Less

Hi. The previous responses about the blade lock and/or seating the blade may be the problem. Another thought was that the blades are not the "t" type blades required for the saw. I have had no problems with my saw and really like it.

Yes. part of the new blade. This new blade is serving me very well after several groomings.

They seem sharper because they are new. It comes down to installing correctly and adjusted afterwards. Properly adjusted they cut just fine. Adjusting is the toughest part and I can't really tell you much except to say, keep moving the metal guard out until it doesn't cut into the skin.

I don't have that problem. I suspect that the blade cover (housing) is not properly inserted into machine. The gap between blade and blade cover is pretty small such that only minimal debris is collected. That has been my experience.

I don't know as I threw out the box and paper work.Have you 1. cleaned and oiled the blades after using 2. Taken the blade off and cleaned it and the white shaft that moves the blade and if you have removed the blade have you reinstalled it correctly as instructed. I have fine hair and and use it every other day around my ears, sideburns and mustache and clean and oil the blade each time.Also once a week I remove the blade and clean inside. With this maintenance I have not had any problems and am very pleased with the trimmer. Best of Luck David PS The 2 screws holding the blade to the trimmer can easily strip.

Jim,I don't know? On mine I have never had a problem. It came with 4 of 5 different blades and they all slide right in. Let me know what specifically you are having trouble with and I will check it out.Mark
