CHANGING THE
SAW BLADE
1. Swing back the retractable guard
and secure it. Secure the spindle by placing a piece of wood between the saw blade and the guide plate.
2. Unscrew the fastening bolt
with a hexagonal spanner. Remove the washer
and spring washer
(
).
3. Remove the saw blade from the mounting flange.
4. Replacement of the saw blade takes place in the reverse order.
CAUTION: The arrow on the saw blade must point in the direction of rotation (marked with an arrow on the saw body).
Parallel alignment of the blade:
If the circular saw pulls to the left or right then the saw blade is not parallel to the guide plate edge or the parallel guide.
To correct this:
1. Remove the wing nut and plain washer and release wing nuts.
2. Swing the guide plate down and turn to the side, so that the adjustment plate can be positioned.
3. Align the saw blade to be parallel using the adjustment plate.
SAWDUST REMOVAL
The sawdust removal vent
can be connected (* = not supplied with accessories)
• Connection spout
• Sawdust collection system*
• 35 mm dia. vacuum hose connection to external suction equipment*
MAINTENANCE
OF THE CIRCULAR SAW
1. Clean out the circular saw regularly (remove sawdust and splinters of wood etc.). For best results do it immediately after use.
2. Do not allow liquids to get into the circular saw. Use a damp cloth to clean the housing. Do not use petrol, solvents or cleaning fluids
that attack plastic.
3. Keep the ventilation airways open and cleaned out.
TIPS AND TRICKS
When sawing at an angle to meet a stop, the stop (parallel stop /batten) must be offset. To make sure use a trial cut beforehand.
If you are going to use a wider cut than the parallel guide allows, we recommend that you use a guide rail or run the machine along
a clamped-on batten.
If you are sawing towards a check with a drawn line use the appropriate value in the window: right angled cut (reading "0"), 45° cut
(reading "45") for each cutting angle
To avoid pulling away the coating on sensitive surfaces, e.g. coated plywood or doors, stick on some rough paper tape along the cut line.
This has the additional advantage of the cut line being more easily seen on the tape than on a smooth surface. An even more effective way of
avoiding the surface pulling off at the cut edge is to attach a piece of thin wood which is then sawn at the same time.
The PHKS 1400 circular saw is equipped with INTELLIGENT POWER CONTROL.
This automatic power control ensures that within a certain oscillation range the output from the jigsaw
remains constant even when cutting harder and more resistant materials.
You can find other practical tips for electric power tools in the accompanying booklet and safety advice.
We reserve the right to make changes to the equipment in the interests of developing improvements.
