The PHKS 1450 circular saw has INTELLIGENT POWER CONTROL.
This automatic power delivery system ensures that for a particular
speed range the power output r
emains constant when working
on harder and more resistant materials.
SPECIFIC SAFETY ADVICE
To be read in conjunction with the advice in the accompanying booklet on safety.
The PHKS 1450 circular saw is fitted with an electronic soft start system. This provides a short
delay after the ON/OFF switch is actuated before the motor starts up.
Only actuate the spindle lock button after the saw has come to a standstill.
Before starting any
work on the machine, e.g. setting the guide plate etc., always take the plug
out of the socket.
Never remove chips or splinters while the equipment is operating - always remove the plug from
the socket first.

Always wear ear defenders and eye protection when working with the circular saw. In addition
we recommend wearing safety gloves, robust anti-slip footwear and an industrial apron.
Check the circular saw, power cable and plug for damage before every use. Always have any
damaged parts repaired or replaced at a specialist repair centre.
Always keep the power cable well out of the saw's working area and feed the cable from the rear
of the machine.
If you are working for long periods on wood or materials that give rise to a lot of dust, fit the saw
with a suitable tested vacuum extraction device.
Always use the saw's integrated safety devices, e.g. the safety switch and the retractable guard.
Check to see that the retractable guard moves freely before every use.
Persons under the age of 16 are not to use this equipment.
Only operate the retractable guard using the lever provided. As the saw comes into contact with
the material, the retractable guard automatically swings away. The guard is not to be fastened
back into the open position. In addition, please make sure all the moving parts on the guard
function without hindrance and all parts of the machine that cover the saw blade are working
properly.
When plunging make sure that the saw cannot kickback, e.g. clamp with a cross piece.
Secure round section wood on both sides of the saw blade against rotation.
Do not use on asbestos-based materials.
Make sure that the diameter, thickness and other saw blade parameters are suitable for use in the
circular saw.
Make sure the saw blade speed rating is suitable for the spindle rotation speed of the circular saw.
Cracked or distorted saw blades are not to be used.
HSS (High Speed Steel) saw blades are not to be used.
The distance between the reamer and the saw teeth is to be set to 5 mm maximum. The distance
between the point of the reamer and the deepest point of the saw blade is to be 5 mm maximum.
Always remove the reamer for plunging work.
When you switch off the saw, do not use any additional means of stopping the saw blade.
Do not lock the ON-OFF switch for hand fed work.
SETTING THE ANGLE OF CUT
You can use the angle gauge to set the angle of cut accurately. Slacken the wing nuts on each
side of the cut angle adjuster.
, set the required angle on the scale and tighten the wing nuts
again.
Caution - Check the angle of cut with a trial cut.
SETTING THE DEPTH OF CUT
Note: We recommend that the depth of cut is set if possible 5 mm greater than the material
thickness. This will ensure you have a clean cut. Release the wing nut on the depth stop ,
set the required depth of cut on the scale
and tighten the wing nut again.
SETTING THE WIDTH OF CUT / PARALLEL GUIDE
Release the wing screw on the parallel guide . Set the required width of cut on the parallel
guide fence scale and tighten the wing screw again.
HANDLING THE CIRCULAR SAW
1. Switch on the motor as described in the section "On/off switch" and then set the front edge
of the guide plate down on the material.
2. Align the circular saw with the parallel guide or with a drawn cutting line.
3. Hold the circular saw with both hands on the handles and saw using moderate force.

SETTING THE SPEED
Using the following advisory settings as a guide, set the rpm on the electronic control wheel
to an appropriate value. Turn the wheel until the required rpm setting is opposite the arrow
marking (
).
(1 = lowest rpm to 6 = highest rpm):
Material rpm setting
Hard- and softwoods (natural wood)
with & across grain 6
Chipboard, hardboard 6
Chipboard 6
Veneered plywood, plywood 6
Coated and veneered board 6
PVC board 3-5
Acrylic sheet, Plexiglas 2-4
Aluminium sheet 4-6
Aluminium sections 4-6
Plasterboard 1-2
Masonry veneered cladding board 1-2
Cement bound woodwool board 1-2
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*
ON/OFF SWITCH
For safety purposes, the saw has a safety switch . The on/off switch will not self engage. To
switch the saw motor on, first press the safety switch and then (keeping the safety switch
pressed) press the on/off switch . Once the motor is running you can release the safety switch.
To turn off the saw motor, release the on/off switch
.
CHANGING THE SAW BLADE
1. First remove the parallel guide by unscrewing the wing screw .
2. Set the cutting depth (use the wing screw for cutting depth stop ) to the minimum position,
0 mm.
3. Swing back the retractable blade guard and place the saw down (see Fig. ).
4. Press the spindle lock button
(until it engages) and release the clamping screw using the
hexagonal socket screw key
!. Take off the washer @ and spring washer # (see Fig. ).
5. Remove the saw blade from the mounting flange.
6. 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).
Further information:
The circumferential speeds at minimum and
maximum rotational speeds are approx.:
Setting 1 1,800 rpm
Circ. speed 20 metres/sec
Setting 6 5,000 rpm
Circ. speed 55 metres/sec
Make sure that the cutting speed resulting from the
effects of different saw blades, materials and the
force you apply to advance the saw always remains
less than the circumferential speed under no load.

FITTING/REMOVAL AND SETTING OF THE REAMER
Caution: The distance between the reamer and the saw blade is not to be more than 5 mm.
If the reamer is removed e.g. for plunging then this distance must be reset.
Fitting/r
emoval of the reamer (see Fig. ):
1. Release the wing nut on the depth stop and swing the saw to meet the stop. This reveals the
fastening screw for the reamer and loosens it.
2. Screw out the fastening screw ! and remove the reamer.
CAUTION / IMPORTANT: After plunging, the reamer must be refitted before further use.
Setting the r
eamer (see Fig. ):
The distance between the reamer and the saw blade teeth is to be set to 5 mm max. and the gap
between reamer and the deepest point of the saw blade is to be set to 5 mm max.
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 accurately set.
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.
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.
