Cutting Marks (see figure G)
(PKS 55 A/PKS 66 A/PKS 66 AF)
The “CutControl”
9
viewing window, which
folds out to the front, is used for precise guiding
of the circular saw alongside the cutting line on
the workpiece. The “CutControl”
9
viewing win-
dow has a mark each for right-angled cuts and
for 45° cuts.
The 0° cutting mark (
29
) indicates the position
of the saw blade for right-angled cuts. The 45°
cutting mark (
28
) indicates the position of the
saw blade for 45° cuts.
For precise cuts, position the circular saw
against the workpiece as shown in the figure. It
is best to carry out a trial cut.

Starting Operation
f
Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage
of the power source must agree with the
voltage specified on the nameplate of the
machine. Power tools marked with 230 V
can also be operated with 220 V.

To
start
the machine,
first

Note:
For safety reasons, the On/Off switch
2
cannot be locked; it must remain pressed during
the entire operation.
Working Advice
Protect saw blades against impact and shock.
Guide the machine evenly and with light feed in
the cutting direction. Excessive feed significant-
ly reduces the service life of the saw blade and
can cause damage to the power tool.
Sawing performance and cutting quality depend
essentially on the condition and the tooth form
of the saw blade. Therefore, use only sharp saw
blades that are suited for the material to be
worked.
Sawing Wood
The correct selection of the saw blade depends
on the type and quality of the wood and whether
lengthway or crossway cuts are required.
When cutting spruce lengthways, long spiral
chips are formed.
Beech and oak dusts are especially detrimental
to health. Therefore, work only with dust extrac-
tion.
