Safety information

Specified conditions of use

This machine is intended for ripping and crosscut­ting of solid timber, faced board, particle board, wood-core plywood and similar wood-derived mate­rials. Do not cut round stock without a suitable fixture, as the rotating saw blade could turn the workpiece.
Any other use is considered to be not as specified and not allowed. Damages caused by unspecified use are not covered by the manufacturer's liability.
Modification of the machine or use of parts not 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: Check the circular saw for damage before every use. Before switching ON check to see that keys or setting tools are removed. Do not operate the saw with a damaged ON/OFF switch. Keep knobs and handles free of oil and grease.

Safety devices

Push stick
The push stick serves as an extension of the right hand and protects against accidental contact with the saw blade.
Always use push stick if distance
rip fence saw blade is £ 120 mm.
In order for the push stick to be always at hand, it can be stored in a sheath in the machine's housing (arrow).

Operating controls

On/off switch with motor protection
· 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.

2.4
PKF 255 V8
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. Travelling sizing tables are available in 950 mm and 1800 mm length.
The travelling sizing table is mounted on the saw to the left of the saw blade (see „Assembly and con­nection").

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.

PKF 255 V8
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.

3. Retighten fixing screws.

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.
