Further details can be found in this user manual. Keep these instructions in a safe place.

Safety Instructions Waveblade is a sealed unit with no internal serviceable parts other than the replacement of blades and the protective foam boot at the front of the tool. Take care, when using the Waveblade tool; never use damaged tools or tools you suspect may be damaged or not functioning correctly.
Keep blade away from your hands, other body parts and other people. Do not use unless blade is correctly and securely fitted. Do not use the Waveblade in combination with other tools or processes. If the tool is dropped the power should be disconnected and the tool thoroughly inspected before further use.
Blade tightness should be periodically checked, as operating the tool with a loose blade will damage the Waveblade. Always check before every use and re-tighten a loose blade immediately. Do not use damaged blades as they could cause personnel injury or damage to the hull surface.
Before removing or installing a blade disconnect from the power. Figure 2: Unlocking the Blade To change the blade take the 2.5mm Allen Key supplied with your Waveblade and insert into the hole in the side of the blade retention collar and locate the locking screw.
Note: If it is a 3” flat blade ensure that the flat face of the blade is sitting at 90º to the vertical axis of the knuckle guard. If the ½ round curved blade is to be installed ensure the bottom of the curve points downwards in the same direction as the knuckle guard.
Connecting to the 12Vdc Power To connect the tool to the 12Vdc supply firstly remove the closing cap from the end of the protective boot and slide the boot back revealing the 12Vdc Plug Connector.

MAINTENANCE The tool is a sealed unit and not repairable by the user, it does not require internal maintenance; however we do recommend regular checks for damage and regular cleaning. Store in a cool dry environment to preserve the tool’s parts. The only user maintenance required is to keep the tool clean and the blade free from damage.
Unauthorised repairs may result in considerable danger to the user. Fault Finding If the Waveblade should fail to operate it could be caused by several possibilities. Before assuming that the tool is faulty, check the following: Has the fuse blown in the supply? Check the 12Vdc plug connector by plugging in another known working device such as a spotlight.
The marine growths removed from boats may contain anti-fouling agents. Please dispose of correctly in accordance with your local guidelines/ byelaws / legal and accepted practices. Technical Data Model No: WB12DC001 Waveblade 12Vdc Corded Manufacturer WaveCraft Limited (Manufactured in China)
