Intended Use
PKS 54 / PKS 66
The machine is intended for cutting wood length-
ways and crossways in straight lines and at mi-
tred angles of up to 45° on a firm surface.
PKS 54 CE / PKS 66 CE
The machine is intended for lengthways and
crossways cutting of wood with straight cutting
lines as well as mitre angles to 45° while resting
firmly on the work piece. With suitable saw
blades, non-ferrous metal, light building materials
and plastic can also be sawed.
Before Putting into Operation
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
B Checking the Adjustment of the
Riving Knife
For safety reasons, the riving knife 6 must always
be used. The riving knife prevents the saw blade
from jamming during lengthways cuts.
The adjustment is carried out at minimal cutting
depth, as described in section "Adjusting the Cut-
ting Depth".
PKS 66 / 66 CE
It is best to place the machine on the face side of
the motor housing.

Adjusting the Cutting Depth
B
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
To achieve an optimum cut, the saw blade
must not protrude more than 3 mm at the
most from the material.
For adjusting the cutting depth loosen the clamp-
ing lever 23 and raise the saw from the base
plate 5, or lower it to the base plate, respectively.
Raise for smaller cutting depths
Lower for greater cutting depths
Set the desired depth on the cutting depth
scale 24.
Tighten the clamping lever 23 again.
Clamping lever
The clamping power of the clamping lever 23 can
be adjusted.
To do this, unscrew the clamping lever and set it
at at least 30° counter-clockwise, screw on again.
Adjusting the Cutting Angle
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
Loosen the winged screws 4 and 15.
It is best to place the machine on the face side of
the protective guard.
Tilt the base plate away from the machine, until
the required cutting angle is adjusted on the cut-
ting angle scale 14.
Tighten the winged screws again.
Note: For mitre cutting, the cutting depth is
smaller than the value shown on the cutting depth
scale 24.
