tested and approved by the equipment manufacturer can cause unforeseeable damage.
General safety information
Follow the basic safety requirements for the operation of power tools, to keep the risk of
- personal injury
- fire
- electric shock
as little as possible.
Please note in particular:
A circular saw is a dangerous tool which can, due to
operator carelessness, cause serious personal
injury. It is therefore recommended you follow the
safety information given below, and know and follow
the legal regulations pertaining to the operation of
circular saws.
Danger!
A
The circular saw shall only be started and
operated by persons familiar with circular
saws, and who are at any time aware of the
dangers associated with the operation of
such tool.
Persons under 16 years of age shall use this
saw only under the supervision of an instructor in the course of their vocational training.
The following residual risks do principally
exist with circular saws, and can not, even by
employing safety devices, completely eliminated:
- Risk of injury by touching the revolving saw
blade: Keep sufficient distance to the saw
blade when sawing. Use push stick if necessary.
Prevent adverse body positions. Ensure
firm footing, and keep your balance at all
times.
- Risk of injury by touching the saw blade at
standstill: Lower the saw blade after sawing until the blade guards rest on the table.
Wear gloves when changing blades.
- Hazard by cluttered work area (e.g. by cutoffs on the floor):
Always keep work area clean.
- Risk of injury by objects being caught during sawing by the revolving saw blade (e.g.
tools on the saw table or metal parts hidden in the workpiece):
Keep saw table clean. If in doubt check
workpiece for inclusion of foreign matter.
- Risk of kickback (workpiece is caught by
the saw blade and thrown against the operator):
Always work with a properly set riving
knife. Keep blade sharp and do not jam.
- Hazard generated by environmental influences:
Do not operate the circular saw in rain or in
damp environment. Ensure sufficient lighting. Do not operate the circular saw near
inflammable liquids or gases.
- Danger to other persons in the work area:
Keep bystanders, particularly children, out
of the danger zone.
- Hazard generated by overloading:
Use circular saw within its limits, and only
as specified.
- Danger by machine faults:

· To start main saw blade
= set rotary switch to ON.
-1
· To start scribing blade= push green button.
· To stop everything
= set rotary switch to OFF or hit red button.
Riving knife
The riving knife prevents the workpiece from being
caught by the rising teeth of the saw blade and
being thrown against the operator.
Always have riving knife installed during operation.
Blade guard
The blade guard protects against accidental contact
with the blade and keeps chips from flying about.
Always have blade guard installed during operation.
A motor protection switch is built into the
3
switch enclosure, to switch the motor off in
the event of an overload.
An undervoltage relay trips in the event of a
voltage failure, to prevent a restarting of the
saw when the power is restored.
To start the saw again after a power failure
the on/off switch has to be set to ON.

Handwheel for blade tilt setting
The saw blade can be tilted steplessly between 0°
and 45°.
The centre of motion is at saw table level, so the
depth of cut remains the same, regardless of the
bevel angle.
Ratchet lock lever
The set bevel angle can be locked with a ratchet
lock lever, so it does not change during sawing.
There are several ratchet lock levers on the
3
saw. If the swivelling range is not sufficient,
the lever position can be shifted:
pull lever up, turn and let engage again.
Handwheel for setting the depth of cut
The depth of cut can be adjusted by turning the
handwheel.
To compensate for possible play in the blade
3
height setting mechanism, always raise the
blade to the desired position.
Travelling sizing table
The travelling sizing table provides for exact workpiece guiding during the cutting operation.

The riving knife is one of the safety devices
A
and has to be correctly installed for a safe
operation.
In order to match the riving knife exactly with the
main saw blade, it can be adjusted in two directions:
-
in the distance to the main blade;
-
to the left or right for alignment.
3. Check belt tension at window in transmission
housing by pressing with a thumb.
If the belt requires retensioning:
PKF 255 V8
Distance to the main saw blade
The distance between the saw blade’s outer edge
and the riving knife should be approx. 5 mm.

1. Remove blade guard.
2. Take off the travelling sizing table.
3. Raise saw blade fully.
4. Loosen screws on chip case cover. Lift chip
case cover slightly and swing over the screws.
The cover is hooked into the bottom of the chip
case and can not fall down.
5. Loosen nut on riving knife by approx. one turn.
6. Adjust riving knife position.
7. Tighten nut.
Lateral offset
Riving knife and main saw blade must be exactly in
line (make trial cut).
The alignment needs to be checked after every setting of the riving knife’s distance to the main blade.
·
Turn set screws (arrow) clockwise
= riving knife is set to the right.
·
Turn set screws (arrow) counter-clockwise
= riving knife is set to the left.
Travelling sizing table alignment
In order to align the travelling sizing table exactly, it
can be adjusted in two planes:
-
in height;
-
in lateral alignment.
Height adjustment
The surface of the travelling sizing table should be
approx. 0,5 mm above the surface of the saw table.
1. Loosen the hexagon socket head cap screws of
both angle brackets by approx. one turn (black
arrows).
8. Slide chip case cover back into the closed position and tighten screws.
9. Attach blade guard.
10. Reinstall travelling sizing table.
2. Set the height with the two setting screws (grey
arrows) on the angle bracket:
·
turning setting screw out
= travelling sizing table lower.
·
turning setting screw in
= travelling sizing table higher.
Lateral traverse
The distance between saw table and travelling sizing table must be between 9,5 and 10 mm over the
entire length.
1. Loosen hexagon socket head screws by
approx. one turn.
2. Adjust travelling sizing table position by light
taps with a rubber mallet.
3. Tighten both angle brackets’ hexagon socket
head cap screws.
Blade tilt stop setting
1. Raise blade fully and set at true 90˚ against the
table with the help of a try square.
2. If the 0˚ (90˚) stop does not exactly match the
saw blade position:
lower saw blade completely, turn saw upside
down and place on its saw table.

3. Adjust backstop setting screws on both front
and rear of the saw until blade is in exact 0˚ position when set against the 0˚ stop.
4. To check the setting of the 45˚ backstop, repeat
steps 1 to 3 accordingly.
5. After resetting any of the backstops, check
bevel tilt scale on the machine’s front, adjust if
necessary.
Scale setting
The rip fence scale needs to be set according to the
position and thickness of the saw blade.
Universal fence adjustments
1. Check if fence is square against saw blade with
a try square.
2. If necessary, loosen fixing screws and adjust
mitre scale.

Cleaning the saw
1. Lay machine on its side.
2. Remove chips and saw dust with vacuum
cleaner or brush:
- from saw blade setting guide elements
- from travelling sizing table guide elements
- from motor vent slots
1. Position rip fence against the right hand side of
the main blade and lock.
The "0“-mark of the scale should now be directly
underneath the left-hand edge of the rip fence
extrusion. If not:
- loosen fixing screw and reposition scale.
- tighten fixing screw and remove rip fence.
Machine transportation
· Lower saw blade completely.
· Engage the travelling sizing table’s travel lock.
· Dismount any add-on parts, projecting over the
saw.
· Carry saw with two persons; hold at saw table.
· If possible, pack in the original carton for ship-
ping.
