- Saw blades made from high-alloyed, high-speed
steel (HSS steel)
●
Always disconnect the supply cord plug from the mains
socket before disassembling or adjusting the tool.
●
Do not switch the tool on before it has been brought
into position where the cut is to be made.
●
Do not overload the tool.
Cutting along a line
A cutting line indicator (0° / 22.5° / 45°), is located on the
front section of the baseplate of the tool. This permits
precise cuts to be made at the selected cutting angle. The
viewing grill provides a better view of the cutting line, thus
making it easier to check the progress of the cut.
If required, the cutting depth can be pre-set to any value
within the 0 – 55 mm or, respectively, the 0 – 65 mm
depth range.
Best results will be obtained when the saw blade projects
approx. 5 – 10 mm beyond the underside of the work-
piece.
●
Check that the control switch on the tool is in the OFF
position.
●
Connect the supply cord plug to the mains socket.
●
Position the tool with the baseplate on the workpiece
so that the saw blade is not in contact with the workpiece.
●
Switch the tool on by pressing the switch interlock
and the on/off switch.
●
Guide the saw at a suitable speed through the work-
piece while following the cutting line.
Mitre cuts
Adjusting the cutting angle
●
Release both cutting angle clamping levers.
●
Pivot the mechanism until the desired cutting angle
of 0° - 45° is indicated by the cutting angle scale.
●
Retighten both clamping levers.
●
Make the cut while observing the cutting line indica-
tor at the front section of the baseplate.
Returning the saw to the 0° position
●
Clean the baseplate to remove wood chips or other
foreign material from the pivoting section before return-
ing the saw to its original position.
Plunge cutting
To reduce the risk of kick-back when starting a plunge
cut, a wooden batten or similar stop should be securely
fastened to the workpiece in alignment with the rear edge
of the baseplate of the saw.
When cutting to the full depth, the length of the cut can
be checked at the plunge cut marks located on the base-
plate.
The design of the riving knife is such that it does not have
to be removed when making plunge cuts.
●
Check that the switch on the tool is in the OFF position.
●
Connect the supply cord plug to the mains socket.
●
Place the tool on a suitable surface.
●
Release the cutting depth locking lever.
●
Lift the tool by the grip. Use the pivoting guard man-
ual control to open the pivoting guard.
●
Position the tool at the point where the plunge cut is
to be made.
●
Switch on the tool by pressing the switch interlock
and the on / off switch and then plunge the blade into the
workpiece carefully until the cut has been made to the
desired length.
Setting the cutting depth
The cutting depth can be set to any value within the 0–
55/65 mm range.
●
Place the tool on a suitable suface.
●
Release the cutting depth adjusting lever.
●
Lift the tool as far as it will go and lock in position at
the maximum height.
●
Adjust the cutting depth by releasing the screw, mov-
ing along the scale to the desired position and then fix-
ing the cutting depth at this point.
●
Release the cutting depth locking lever and return the
tool to the pre-set height.
Except when plunge cutting it is advisable, for safety rea-
sons, to lock the cutting depth at this height. Neverthe-
less, as deviations may occur due to various factors (e.g.
worn or resharpened saw blade etc.), it is recommend-
ed that the cutting depth is checked again exactly before
beginning sawing by measuring the projection of the saw
blade from the baseplate.
Constant speed electronics / speed pre-selection
The WSC 255-KE / WSC 265-KE is equipped with con-
stant speed electronics.
The speed regulator can be used to adjust the speed of
the saw blade to any value within the 2200 – 4300 r.p.m.
range. The numbers on the speed regulator represent
the following approximate saw blade speeds:
1
2200 r.p.m.
2
2600 r.p.m.
3
3000 r.p.m.
4
3500 r.p.m.
5
3900 r.p.m.
6
4300 r.p.m.
The built-in constant speed electronics maintain the pre-
selected speed at an almost constant level even when
the tool is under load. The recommended speeds and
information concerning choice of the correct saw blade
can be found in the product information and corresponding
table of applications.
Smooth starting
The tool is equipped with a starting current limitation
device which ensures optimum working comfort. The
tool thus starts and runs up to speed without an unpleas-
ant jolt.
