Before Starting The Equipment; Attachment And Operation - Parkside PZKS 1500 A1 Instrucciones De Servicio Y Seguridad

• Avoid accidental starting of the machine: the operat-
ing button may not be pressed when inserting the plug
in an outlet.
• Use the tool that is recommended in this manual. In do-
ing so, your mitre saw provides optimal performance.
• Hands may never enter the processing zone when
the machine is in operation. Release the handle but-
ton and switch off the machine prior to any operations.

7. Before starting the equipment

• The equipment must be set up where it can stand
securely. Secure the machine on a workbench or a
stand with 4 screws through the holes in the fixed saw
table (15).
• All covers and safety devices have to be properly fitted
before the equipment is switched on.
• It must be possible for the blade to run freely.
• When working with wood that has been processed
before, watch out for foreign bodies such as nails or
screws, etc.
• Before you press the ON/OFF switch check that the
saw blade is fitted correctly. Moving parts must run
smoothly.
• Before you connect the equipment to the power sup-
ply make sure the data on the rating plate are dentical
to the mains data.

8. Attachment and operation

8.1 Attaching the saw (Fig1/2/3/4/5)
• In order to adjust the rotary table (14) loosen the set
screw (26) approx. 2 turns.
• Turn the rotary table (14) and pointer (12) to the de-
sired angle measurement on the scale (13) and secure
with the set screw (26).
• Pressing the machine head (4) lightly downwards and
removing the locking bolt (23) from the motor bracket
at the same time disengages the saw from the low-
est position.
• Swing the machine head (4) up until the release lever
(3) latches into place.
• It is possible to secure the clamping device (7) to the
left or right on the stationary saw bench (15). Insert the
clamping device (7) in the hole on the rear side of the
stop rail (16) and secure it with the star grip screw (7a).
• Attach the workpiece supports (8) to the fixed saw
table (15) as shown in Figure 5 and fasten with the
screw (9).
• It is possible to tilt the machine head (4) a max. 45° to
the left by loosening the set screw (22).
8.2 Precision adjustment of the stop for crosscut
90° (Fig. 1/6/7)
• No stop angle included.
• Lower the machine head (4) and secure using the
locking bolt (23).
• Loosen the set screw (22).
• Position the angle stop (a) between the saw blade
(6) and the rotary table (14).
• Adjust the adjusting screw (27) until the angle be-
tween the saw blade (6) and rotary table (14) is 90°.
• It is not necessary to fix this setting because it is
maintained by the spring pretension.
• Subsequently check the position of the angle indi-
cator. If necessary loosen the pointer (19) using a
Philips screwdriver, set to position 0° on the angle
scale (18) and re-tighten the retaining screw.
8.3 Cross cut 90° and turntable 0° (Fig.8)
In the case of cutting widths up to approx. 100 mm it
is possible to fix the traction function of the saw with
the set screw (20) in the rear position. In this position
the machine can be operated in cross cutting mode. If
the cutting width is over 100 mm then it is necessary
to ensure that the set screw (20) is loose and the ma-
chine head (4) can move.
Attention! For 90° cross cuts, the moveable stop rail
(16a) must be fixed in the inner position.
• Open the set screw (16b) on the moveable stop rail
(16a) and push the moveable stop rail (28) inwards.
• The moveable stop rail (16a) must be locked in a
position far enough from the inner position that the
distance between the stop rail (16a) and the saw
blade (6) is no more than 8 mm.
• Before making the cut, check that no collision could
occur between the stop rail (16a) and the saw blade
(6).
• Tighten the set screw (16b) again.
• Move the machine head (4) to its upper position.
• Use the handle (3) to push back the machine head
(4) and fix it in this position if required (dependent
on the cutting width).
• Place the piece of wood to be cut at the stop rail
(16) and on the turntable (14).
• Lock the material with the clamping device (7) on
the fixed saw table (15) to prevent the material from
moving during the cutting operation.
• Push down the release lever (3) to release the ma-
chine head (4).
• Press the ON/OFF switch (2) to start the motor.
• With the drag guide (21) fixed in place:
• use the handle (1) to move the machine head (4)
steadily and with light pressure downwards until the
saw blade (6) has completely cut through the work
piece.
• With the drag guide (21) not fixed in place:
• pull the machine head (4) all the way to the front.
Lower the handle (1) to the very bottom by apply-
ing steady and light downward pressure. Now push
the machine head (4) slowly and steadily to the
very back until the saw blade (6) has completely cut
through the work piece.
• When the cutting operation is completed, move the
machine head (4) back to its upper (home) position
and release the ON/OFF button (2).
Attention! The machine executes an upward stroke
automatically due to the return spring, i.e. do not re-
lease the handle (1) after completing the cut; instead
allow the machine head to move upwards slowly
whilst applying light counter pressure.
