Japa 100 blade trouble...

[Daniel Jiggins]

There should be 2 nuts

 

I have only one nut and a round spacer there is a round spacer on the spindle with a lip wher the blade sits on but i cant get the blade to sit on this. is there a parts diagram for the japa 100 as got no paperwork with it, it came from Fuelwood. i will get some pics tomoz to see whats missing...

If you want to PM me your email addy and i'll send you the parts diagram page out of the manual

The blade should be a 35mm bore

hi mate,

they can be very sketchy/snatchy things. sometimes a saw doctor can sort the problem providing the blade is not too warped. new blades are not that dear either if things turn sour and i can pass on manufacturer details for the best price. its worth trying a blade with more teeth as i have which makes the cut smoother and eliminates pretty much any snagging.

 

hope this helps

Blades arent that cheap a koll blade costs £348 the cheap ones been there got the tee shirt they just keep snapping the teeth off cost you more in the long run.Also the blades i get have every other tooth missing this helps eliminate the snatching this is what ive found & my machine runs 7 days a wk in the winter 10hrs a day.Hope this is of help
