Würth HKS 18-A, Translation Of The Original Operating Instructions

Page: 22 / 257

22
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the mate-
rials to be worked.

Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace.
Dust can easily ignite.
Mounting the Extraction Adapter
(see figure B)
Push the extraction adapter 28 onto the chip ejector 16 until
it clicks into place. Then secure the extraction adapter 28 in
place with the screw 27 .

The extraction adapter may not be mounted
when no external dust extraction is connected.
Otherwise the extraction channel can become clogged.

Do not connect a dust bag to the extraction
adapter. Otherwise the extraction system can become
clogged.
To ensure optimum extraction, the extraction adapter 28 must
be cleaned regularly.
A dust extractor can be connected to the extraction adapter
28 using a Würth universal adapter 37 .
External Dust Extraction
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.
Operating Modes

Before any work on the power tool, remove
the battery.
Adjusting the Cutting Depth
(see figure C)

Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth
should be visible below the workpiece.
Loosen the clamping lever 29 . For a smaller cutting depth,
pull the saw away from the base plate 6 ; for a larger cutting
depth, push the saw toward the base plate 6 . Adjust the
desired cutting depth at the cutting-depth scale. Tighten the
clamping lever 29 again.
The tightening tension of the clamping lever 29 can be read-
justed. For this, unscrew the clamping lever 29 , and screw it
back again turned offset by at least 30° in anticlockwise
direction.
Adjusting the Cutting Angle
It is best to place the machine on the face side of the blade
guard 17 .
• Loosen the wing bolts 8 and 15 . Tilt the saw sidewards.
Adjust the desired measure on the scale 9 . Tighten the
wing bolts 8 and 15 again.
Note: For bevel cuts, the cutting depth is smaller than the set-
ting indicated on the cutting-depth scale 30 .
Cutting Marks
When using the guide rail system, the power tool can stay in
the guide rail's holder when making a mitre cut.
Use only cutting mark 10 when
making a right-angled cut and
11 when making a 45° cut.
Starting Operation

Use only original Würth lithium-ion batteries
with the voltage listed on the nameplate of
your power tool. Using other batteries can lead to
injuries and pose a fire hazard.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, first push the lock-off button for the
On/Off switch 1 and then press the On/Off switch 18 and
keep it pressed.
To
switch off the machine, release the On/Off switch 18 .
Note: For safety reasons, the On/Off switch 18 cannot be
locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.
Run-on Brake
An integrated run-on brake reduces the run-on period of the
saw blade after switching off the machine.
Protection Against Deep Discharging
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging
by the “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)”. When the battery is
empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.
