Mounting/Replacing the Saw Blade

 Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
 When mounting the saw blade, wear protective gloves.
Danger of injury when touching the saw blade.
 Only use saw blades that correspond with the charac-
teristic data given in the operating instructions.
 Do not under any circumstances use grinding discs as
the cutting tool.
Selecting a Saw Blade
An overview of recommended saw blades can be found at the
end of this manual.
Removal of the Saw Blade (PKS 184) (see figure A)
– Tilt back the retracting blade guard 11 and hold firmly.
– Press the machine via the saw blade 18 against a piece of
wood in order to lock the saw spindle 16 in place.
– Unscrew clamping bolt 20 with ring spanner 21 in rotation
direction . Should the saw spindle 16 also turn, try to
loosen the clamping bolt 20 by applying a sudden back and
forth motion with the ring spanner 21.
– Remove the clamping flange 19 and the saw blade 18 from
the saw spindle 16.
Removal of the Saw Blade (PKS 1500) (see figure A)
For changing the cutting tool, it is best to place the machine
on the face side of the motor housing.
– Press the spindle lock button 3 and keep it pressed.
 The spindle lock button 3 may be actuated only when
the saw spindle is at a standstill. Otherwise, the power
tool can be damaged.
– Unscrew clamping bolt 20 with ring spanner 21 in rotation
direction .
– Tilt back the retracting blade guard 11 and hold firmly.
– Remove the clamping flange 19 and the saw blade 18 from
the saw spindle 16.
Mounting the Saw Blade (PKS 184) (see figure A)
– Clean the saw blade 18 and all clamping parts to be assem-
bled.
– Tilt back the retracting blade guard 11 and hold firmly.
– Place the saw blade 18 on to the mounting flange 17. The
cutting direction of the teeth (direction or arrow on saw
blade) and the direction-of-rotation arrow on the blade
guard 14 must correspond.
– Mount the clamping flange 19 and screw in the clamping
bolt 20 turning in rotation direction . Observe correct

– Press the machine via the saw blade 18 against a piece of
wood in order to lock the saw spindle 16 in place.
– Tighten the clamping bolt 20 with ring spanner 21 in rota-
tion direction . The tightening torque is 6–9 Nm, which
corresponds with hand-tight plus ¼ turn. When the clamp-
ing bolt 20 is tightened to tightly, the saw blade can no
longer be removed.

Dust/Chip Extraction

 Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
 Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one's health. Touching or breathing-in the dust can cause
allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of
the user or bystanders.
Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered car-
cinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials con-
taining asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
