Switching on and oﬀ

General safety advice for electrical power tools / Preparing for use

WARNING! Looking at the laser output aperture 12a with optical instruments (e.g. magnifying glass, magnifying lens, etc.) could result in eye damage.

Never direct the laser beam on to reﬂective surfaces or at people or animals. Even a brief look into a laser beam can damage your eyes.

Changing batteries:

Open the battery compartment cover 10 using a suitable cross-head screwdriver (see Fig. G). Remove the used batteries.

Observing the correct polarity, insert two new

1.5V alkaline batteries type LR44 (e.g. GPA 76) and screw the battery compartment cover 10 tightly in place again.

CAUTION! The use of operating or adjustment devices or other methods of working other than those indicated in this document may lead to exposure to hazardous radiation.

Working safely:

If a dangerous situation arises, pull the mains plug immediately out of the mains socket. Never use the device for a purpose for which it was not intended.

Always keep the device clean, dry and free of oil or grease.

If the saw is used whilst ﬁxed in place on a saw ta- ble then the saw table must have a restart cut-out. Make sure the device is switched on before placing it against the workpiece.

Always work away from your body.

Do not saw materials containing asbestos.

The course of the cut must have no obstructions above or below it.

The saw blade must not project more than 3 mm out of the workpiece.

When you are sawing, always make sure that you do not cut through any nails, screws or the like. Do not work with the device in the overhead position.

Protect the saw blade from sharp blows or im- pacts and prevent it from becoming tilted.

When you switch oﬀ the saw, allow the blade to slow down naturally - do not assist this pro- cess in any way.

Cracked or distorted blades are not to be used. HSS (High Speed Steel) saw blades are not to be used.

Before carrying out any work on the saw, e.g. setting the base plate etc. always pull the mains plug out of the mains socket.

Never remove sawdust or splinters whilst the saw is running.

Have a suitable, tested vacuum removal device attached to the saw when working with woods or materials that create dusts that may be haz- ardous to health.

Always use the safety devices integrated into the circular saw, e.g. the safety lock-out 2 and automatic blade guard 7 .

Ensure that all moving parts of the saw blade protection system function properly and all the assemblies and components involved in cover- ing the saw blade are in perfect working order. Do not lock on the ON / OFF switch 3 in hand-guided operation.

Preparing for use

The PHKS 1300 A1 circular saw has Intelligent Power Control.

This automatic power

delivery system ensures that for a particular

speed range the power output remains constant when working on harder and more resistant materials.

Switching on:

Press the safety lock-out 2 to the left or right and keep it pressed.

Press the ON / OFF switch 3 . Once the saw is running you can release the safety lock-out 2 again.

The circular saw is ﬁtted with an electronic soft start system. The

motor starts with a delay.
