I started off as an apprentice in the building trade in 1968, but came across the Allsaw last year, which lead us to purchase one. It's made life so much easier for us, we're wondering how we ever got on without it now! Whoever the brains was behind the Allsaw, I take my hat off to them!

Arbortech Brick & Mortar Saw AS170 Tree Root Cutting

How to correctly remove & replace the blades

The Arbortech AS175 Allsaw brick & mortar saw is a revolution in cutting technology. It’s unique patented orbital cutting motion means you can cut cleanly and safely, with minimal dust, whether cutting through heritage masonry or timberwork, electrical or plumbing installations, stone or trees.

Here’s what you get:

Long-lasting performance from a sharpenable blade
Robust design due to sealed dust proof bearings
Efficient dust control with a detachable dust boot
Durable motors thanks to auto cut off brushes.

All of this plus a choice of six different blades, making the Allsaw the tool for any job!

The new generation ALLSAW’s functionality has been significantly enhanced and it continues to be the faster, safer and dust-free alternative to the Diamond Grinder. The ALLSAW AS175 cuts with superior dust control, protecting the user from breathing in silica dust and is till the only masonry tool that cuts deep, square, with high precision and no overcut.

This package include the General Purpose Blades, Plunge Blades, Dust Boot and two years warranty. With an improved motor and belt, this is an essential tool for trade applications.

WHATS NEW
1400W Tool has been highly enhanced for better performance with a more powerful motor and extended brush life, which enables a more seamless cutting experience.

Improved Belt Drive with the addition of a heavy duty triple V belt, along with a more efficient power transmission allows for a longer lifetime and faster cuts.

Heavy Duty Dust Boot collects more of the dust generated when connected to ta vacuum. This keeps the worksite clean and reduces silica dust particles in the air.

Vibration Reduction further enhances ergonomics, allowing the to be used for as extended period.

The AS175 Allsaw has a unique patented orbital cutting action of two reciprocating blades, which strike and rake whilst in action, this allows the cutting of brick (not engineering or dense bricks), mortar, and masonry to 50mpa faster than traditional reciprocating saws. This cutting action also produces minimal amounts of airborne dust, offering a controllable and safe operation, with the ability to cut to a depth of 120mm (4¾”), cut square corners, single brick removal, cutting dirty soil impregnated wood, tree roots etc.

Always wear a suitable dust mask – to provide ffp3(s) protection. DUST EXTRACTION The AS175 Allsaw can be fitted with a Dust Extraction Boot which will significantly reduce airborne and heavy dust when used correctly. It is attached to the wire guard and extraction fitting. The adjustable dust extraction funnel is replaceable when it becomes worn. The dust extraction fitting has a standard 30mm bore to connect to the vacuum. CAUTION Verify that the dust extraction vacuum being used has a filter system appropriate for the material being cut. Incorrect filtration can result in inadequate dust control, causing a hazard to the operator, bystanders, the public and the environment. Note: HSE are now enforcing Certified M or H Class Vacuums as the required filtration level for the containment of Silica Dust. See our range of M & H Class Dust Management Vacuums

As the blades are not spinning like an angle grinder, and only move 12 -15mm overall, there is nothing to drive the dust out from under and around the blade. ‘Sawing’ (like you would a handsaw) and ‘Rocking’ the ALLSAW, clears the dust from under the blades as they come out of the cut, keeping the blades cool and giving them a clear path to continue cutting.

How long the blades last is very dependent on how the Allsaw is used and what materials it is used on. Used with the ‘sawing/rocking motion’ in softer materials and mortars the blades can last a very long time. The key to long life is to know what you are cutting, keep the saw moving in the cut to clear the dust from around the blades which helps to keep the blades cool, also avoid hammering the ends of the blades, as this wears away the metal that hold the Tungston Carbide Teeth, and only apply enough pressure to keep the saw in contact with the masonry. If the Allsaw is bouncing and there is heavy vibration whilst trying to cut a material then it is very likely the material is too hard for the Allsaw to cut. CAUTION: Do not use on engineering or dense hard bricks, concrete, metal, hard stone, or very dense materials, as these materials will cause damage to the teeth.

If the Blade Bolts have been tightened to the correct torque of 18Nm using the Ian/Torque Key they rarely come loose, unless the threads on the Blade Bolts or in the Conrod are worn or damaged. Always inspect the thread on the Blade Bolts when changing the Blades and replace if damaged or worn. USE ONLY Blade Bolts supplied by Arbortech, which are supplied with every Genuine New set of blades, and can be purchased as an accessory Code No: A17002 and tighten using the Ian/Torque Key supplied with your Allsaw. New Ian/Torque Keys Code No: A17074 can be purchased as an accessory as well.

Either the Motor Brushes are worn or the Armature is damaged. Advise Checking Carbon Brush Wear, and replacing if worn.* Good Practice Advice: Ensure that extension leads used are kept as short as possible and cable reels fully unwound, as long extension leads and wound up cable reels reduce the power supply to the motor causing the motor to draw more amps and sparking. If longer extension leads are needed they must be upgraded to 2.5mm.

1. Check the power supply. 2. Check the fuse in the plug of a 240v Allsaw, or the Transformer on a 110v, also the overload cut out on the Transformer. 3. Check the cable to the Allsaw for continuity, as the cable on the Allsaw moves a lot in use the wires in the cable can break due to fatigue. 4. Check the motor brushes, when they wear down a sprung loaded plastic pin built into the brush pops out to push the brush off the armature, to prevent damage to the armature.

Blade Bolts may snap or break if they have not been tighten to the correct torque of 18Nm using the Ian/Torque Key and have come loose while the Allsaw is in use. Check The Blade Bolts for tightness using the Ian/Torque Key regularly whilst the Allsaw is in use, especially if working on harder materials. If the Blade Bolts have been tightened to the correct torque of 18Nm using the Ian/Torque Key they rarely come loose, unless the threads on the Blade Bolts or in the Conrod are worn or damaged. Always inspect the thread on the Blade Bolts when changing the Blades and replace if damaged or worn. USE ONLY Blade Bolts supplied by Arbortech, which are supplied with every Genuine New set of blades and can be purchased as an accessory Code No: A17002 and tighten using the Ian/Torque Key supplied with your Allsaw.

The Allsaw will cut soft – medium density bricks and mortar. By ‘Rule of Thumb’, if the material you wish to cut will scratch to leave an impression with, a nail, screw, screwdriver, etc…. then the Allsaw will cut it when used with a ‘Rocking /Sawing Action. It will not cut engineering, or very hard dense bricks, or very strong cementitious mortars. See Answer To What is the ‘Rocking Action’ above

The Allsaw cannot be used on concrete, or dense concrete blocks. It will cut materials up to 50 mpa, so will cut light density concrete blocks, it depends what the 7.2 Nm concrete blocks have been manufactured from whether the Allsaw is suitable for them. If they have heavy aggregate or granite chippings in these will damage the Tungsten Carbide Teeth on the blades.
