Parkside PKS 1700 A1 - Manual (Page 19)

Press the ON/OFF switch (2) to start the
motor.
With the drag guide (26) fixed in place: use
the handle (1) to move the machine head
(5) steadily and with light pressure
downwards until the saw blade (7) has
completely cut through the workpiece.
With the drag guide (26) not fixed in place:
pull the machine head (5) all the way to the
front. Lower the handle (1) to the very
bottom by applying steady and light
downward pressure. Now push the machine
head (5) slowly and steadily to the very
back until the saw blade (7) has completely
cut through the workpiece.
When the cutting operation is completed,
move the machine head (5) back to its
upper (home) position and release the
ON/OFF button (2).
8.4 Miter cut 0°- 45° and turntable 0°- 45°
(Fig. 1-3, 15)
The crosscut saw can be used to make miter
cuts to the left of 0°- 45° in relation to the work
face and, at the same time, 0° - 45° to the left or
0° - 45° to the right in relation to the stop rail
(double miter cut).
Important. To make miter cuts (inclined saw
head), the adjustable stop rail (29) must be
fixed at the outer position.
Open the locking lever (30) for the
adjustable stop rail and push the adjustable
stop rail outwards.
The adjustable stop rail (29) must be fixed
far enough in front of the innermost position
that the distance between the stop rail (29)
and the saw blade (7) amounts to a
maximum of 5mm.
Before making a cut, check that the stop rail
(29) and the saw blade (7) cannot collide.
Secure the locking lever (30) again.
If required, dismantle the clamping device
(8) or mount on the opposite side of the
fixed saw table (17).
Move the machine head (5) to its upper
position.
Release the turntable (16) by slackening the
locking grip (13).
Press the latched position lever (12). Turn
the turntable (16) and scale pointer (14) to
the desired angular setting on the scales
(15) and lock into place with the locking grip
(13).
Undo the locking screw (23) and use the
handle (1) to tilt the machine head (5) to the
left until it coincides with the required angle
value (in this connection see also section
8.3).
Re-tighten the fixing screw (23).
Cut as described under section 8.3.
8.5 Limiting the cutting depth (Fig. 16)
The cutting depth can be infinitely adjusted
using the screw (27). To do this loosen the
knurled nut on the screw (27). Move the
stop for the cutting depth limiter (28) to the
outside. Turn the screw (27) in or out to set
the required cutting depth. Then re-tighten
the knurled nut on the screw (27).
Check the setting by completing a test cut.
8.6 Sawdust bag (Fig. 2)
The saw is equipped with a debris bag (22) for
sawdust and chips.
The debris bag (22) can be emptied by means
of a zipper at the bottom.
8.7 Changing the saw blade (Fig. 1, 17-20)
Remove the power plug!
Important.
Wear safety gloves when changing the saw
blade. Risk of injury.
Swing up the machine head (5). Use the
safety pin (25) to lock the machine head in
this position.
Press the release lever (3). Swing up the
saw blade guard (6) to the point where the
recess in the saw blade guard (6) is above
the flange bolt (33).
Press the saw shaft lock (4) with one hand.
With the other hand position the wrench (c)
over the flange bolt (33).
Firmly press the saw shaft lock (4) and
slowly rotate the flange bolt (33) in
clockwise direction. The saw shaft lock (4)
engages after no more than one rotation.
Now, using a little more force, slacken the
flange screw (33) in the clockwise direction.
Turn the flange screw (33) right out and
remove the external flange (34).
