cuts". Raise lower guard by retracting handle and
as soon as blade enters the material, the lower
guard must be released.
For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate
automatically.
•
Always observe that the lower guard is covering the
blade before placing saw down on bench or floor.
An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to
walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be
aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after
switch is released.
•
Use the appropriate riving knife for the blade being
used.
For the riving knife to work, it must be thicker than the
body of the blade but thinner than the tooth set of the
blade.
•
Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruc-
tion manual.
Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment can make
the riving knife ineffective in preventing kickback.
•
Always use the riving knife except when plunge
cutting.
Riving knife must be replaced after plunge cutting.
Riving knife causes interference during plunge cutting
and can create kickback.
•
For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged in
the workpiece.
The riving knife is ineffective in preventing kickback
during short cuts.
•
Do not operate the saw if riving knife is bent.
Even a light interference can slow the closing rate of a
guard.
Before using the machine for the first time
Before starting the saw, check that the mains voltage is the
same as that on the type plate of the device.
Safety switch with lock off safety position
Before activating the on/off switch (1) in the hand grip,
the switch must be unlocked by pressing the switch
release (2). Only then can the machine be switched on by
pressing the on/off switch. Fixing the on/off switch for
prolonged operation is not possible for safety reasons.
When the on/off switch is released the power supply is
interrupted and the machine comes to a halt. The switch-
on block automatically blocks the switch thus preventing
unintentional activation of the machine.
Motor
The strong universal motor has the power reserves you
need. It is cooled by an extra large fan unit.
Prolonged heavy duty may overheat the motor! Allow
the motor to cool down in no-load speed!
Work only with good sharp blades! The prevents the
motor from overheating.
Cleaning procedure and maintenance
Long motor life will be your reward when you make the
minor effort of blowing the sawdust out of the ventilation
openings in the housing after each job, since optimum
ventilation is a critical factor in motor life.
From time to time, clean the resin deposits out of the saw-
dust ejector (please do not use caustic cleaning agents).
This will ensure proper sawdust ejection.
The saw motor is permanently lubricated and so needs no
special maintenance. However, if you use the saw for
heavy-duty jobs over a long period of time we recommend
that you occasionally send it to our service department for
thorough cleaning and inspection. This will save you
money for repairs and increase the service life of your tool.
Base
The base (14) has been set in the factory so that it makes
an angle of exactly 90° with the blade in basic position
(zero mark on scale). 4 point mounting for no twist accu-
rate operation.
Swing guard
The swing guard (11), which covers the blade, moving
back automatically when the blade is brought into the
work, at the same rate at which the saw is brought in.
When you reach the end of the cut, the swing guard moves
back by spring action to cover the blade again.
Setting cut depth
The cutting depth can be set up to 66 mm. The base (14)
can be pressed downwards, thus being moved in direction
cutting depth "0" when the clamp lever (7) on the casing is
released. The cutting depth can be read off from the indica-
tor (24) or reset according to the scale. The cutting depth
should always match the workpiece thickness, i.e. the
blade should only project by approx. height of a sawtooth.
This is important for preventing accidents!
Sawing to layout lines
On the front edge of the circular saw base, there is a mar-
ker (indentation) for rectangular cuts (zero setting), which
corresponds to the blade width. In addition, there are mar-
king tongues for 0° and 45° bevel cuts, thus enabling sim-
ple and precise work. The marking tongues in the base
(see drawing) also correspond to the cut width of the
blade. When following the layout line, make sure that you
cut respectively according to the left or right edge of the
indentation or marking tongue, depending on whether you
are sawing to the left or right of the layout line.
Rip fence
The graduations on the fence arm make setting extremely
easy. Release star grip bolt (4), slide parallel stop (5) by the
required amount. Tighten up star grip bolt (4).
Setting the angle of cut
The base (14) can be tilted up to 45° for bevel cuts. First
loosen the two clamp levers (6) on the angle scales incline
the base according to the scale and then retighten the
clamp levers.
The folded over part on the angle scale points to the
0°-position.
Sawdust ejector with integrated suction neck
Sawdust ejector (15) is so formed that sawdust is blown out
backwards and to the side. This keeps it away from the
operator as far as possible. The motor cooling air is blown
through the casing as well and thus helps sawdust ejection.
The ejection neck can also be used for an external suction
unit. Any standard vacuum cleaner with a flexible 36 mm
dia. hose can be connected to the neck and thus consider-
ably reduce messiness.
Thus contamination of the workplace and a possible
risk to health are considerably reduced.
When using as a circular saw bench this electric equip-
ment may only be operated with a dust extractor.
The dust extractor must comply with the "Safety
regulations for extraction and removal of wood dust
and shavings" (ZH 1/139).
For the dust extractor a minimum air speed of 20 m/s
at the suction neck must be ensured.
For use as circular saw bench, only those saw benches
may be used which have been expressly approved by
the manufacturer for use with KRESS circular saws.
Carbon brushes
The carbon brushes have an exceedingly long service life.
They should be replaced when they are worn down to a
length of 6 mm.
