Frequently Asked Questions - PHKS 1400 PARKSIDE

How to adjust the cutting depth on the PHKS 1400?

Loosen the depth adjustment wing screw (item ④), adjust the desired depth using the scale (item ①), then retighten the wing screw. It is recommended to choose a depth 5 mm greater than the material thickness for a cleaner cut.

How to start the PARKSIDE PHKS 1400 circular saw?

For safety reasons, first press the anti-restart safety (item 2) and hold it, then press the trigger (item 1). Once the tool is running, you can release the safety. To stop, release the trigger.

What materials can I cut with the PHKS 1400?

The saw can cut solid wood, chipboard, plywood, veneered panels, PVC, acrylic/Plexiglas, aluminium (sheets and profiles), plasterboard and rock wool. Never cut materials containing asbestos.

How to adjust the cutting angle?

Loosen the wing screws (item ⑥) on both sides, set the desired angle on the scale, then retighten the wing screws. Perform a trial cut to check the adjustment.

How to change the saw blade?

First unplug the tool. Raise the protective guard and hold it. Lock the spindle using a wooden wedge between the teeth and the guide plate. Loosen the fixing screw with a hex key, remove the washer and the blade. Place the new blade observing the direction of rotation indicated by the arrow, then reassemble in reverse order.

The saw pulls to the left or right, what to do?

This indicates that the blade is not parallel to the guide plate. To adjust the parallelism, unscrew the wing screw and washer, loosen the wing screws, tilt the guide plate down and to the side, then adjust the parallelism using a square.

What maintenance does the PHKS 1400 circular saw require?

Clean chips and debris regularly, preferably after each use. Wipe the housing with a soft cloth, without using gasoline or solvents. Ensure that the ventilation slots remain clean and unobstructed. No liquid should enter the housing.

Can I use the saw without the riving knife?

The riving knife can be removed only for plunge cutting work. After this type of cut, it must absolutely be reinstalled. The gap between the knife and the blade must not exceed 5 mm.

Which speed to choose for cutting aluminium?

For aluminium sheets from 2 to 12 mm and profiles from 1.5 to 3 mm, set the speed preselector to position 2 or 3 (2 for thinner, 3 for thicker). Use a moderate speed to avoid overheating.

SPECIFIC SAFETY ADVICE

To be read in conjunction with the advice in the accompanying booklet on safety.
Before starting any work on the machine, e.g. setting the guide plate etc., always take the plug out of the socket.
- Never remove chips or splinters while the equipment is operating - always remove the plug from the socket first.
Always wear ear defenders and eye protection when working with the circular saw. In addition we recommend wearing safety gloves, robust anti-slip footwear and an industrial apron.
Check the circular saw, power cable and plug for damage before every use. Always have any damaged parts repaired or replaced at a specialist repair centre.
Always keep the power cable well out of the saw's working area and feed the cable from the rear of the machine.
If you are working for long periods on wood or materials that give rise to a lot of dust, fit the saw with a suitable tested vacuum extraction device.
Always use the saw's integrated safety devices, e.g. the safety switch and the retractable guard.
Check to see that the retractable guard moves freely before every use.
Do not drill into the saw housing as that will interfere with the protective insulation (Use stick-on labels, plates etc.).
Persons under the age of 16 are not to use this equipment.

Only operate the retractable guard using the lever provided. As the saw comes into contact with the material, the retractable guard automatically swings away. The guard is not to be fastened back into the open position. In addition, please make sure all the moving parts on the guard function without hindrance and all parts of the machine that cover the saw blade are working properly.
- When plunging make sure that the saw cannot kickback, e.g. clamp with a cross piece.
Secure round section wood on both sides of the saw blade against rotation.
Do not use on asbestos based materials.
Make sure that the diameter, thickness and other saw blade parameters are suitable for use in the circular saw.
Make sure the saw blade speed rating is suitable for the spindle rotation speed of the circular saw.
Cracked or distorted saw blades are not to be used. HSS (High Speed Steel) saw blades are not to be used.
The distance between the reamer and the saw teeth is to be set to 5mm maximum. The distance between the point of the reamer and the deepest point of the saw blade is to be 5mm maximum.
Always remove the reamer for plunging work.
When you switch off the saw, do not use any additional means of stopping the saw blade.
Do not lock the ON-OFF switch for hand fed work.

SETTING THE GUIDE PLATE

The basic setting or the angle of the guide plate to the saw blade is 90^ . If you wish to make an alteration to this angle use the adjustment screw.

Please read the section on accurately setting the angle of cut.

SETTING THE ANGLE OF CUT

You can use the angle gauge to set the angle of cut accurately. Slacken the wing nuts on each side of the cut angle adjuster. ⑥, set the required angle on the scale and tighten the wing nuts again.

Caution - Check the angle of cut with a trial cut.

SETTING THE DEPTH OF CUT

Note: We recommend that the depth of cut is set if possible 5mm greater than the material thickness. This will ensure you have a clean cut. Release the wing nut on the depth stop 4, set the required depth of cut on the scale ⑪ and tighten the wing nut again.

ON/OFF SWITCH

For safety purposes, the saw has a safety switch ②. The on/off switch ① will not self engage. To switch the saw motor on, first press the safety switch ② and then (keeping the safety switch pressed) press the on/off switch ①. Once the motor is running you can release the safety switch.

To turn off the saw motor, release the on/off switch 1

SETTING THE WIDTH OF CUT / PARALLEL GUIDE

Release the wing nut ② on the parallel guide 3. Set the required width of cut on the scale and tighten the wing nut again.

HANDLING THE CIRCULAR SAW

1. Switch on the motor as described in the section "On/off switch" and then set the front edge of the guide plate down on the material.
2. Align the circular saw with the parallel guide 3 or with a drawn cutting line.
3. Hold the circular saw with both hands on the handles ⑩ and saw using moderate force.

SETTING THE SPEED

Using the following advisory settings as a guide, set the rpm on the electronic control wheel to an appropriate value. Turn the wheel until the required rpm setting is opposite the arrow marking () .

(1 = lowest rpm to 4 = highest rpm):

Material	Thickness	rpm setting
Hard- and softwoods (natural wood) with & across grain	to max. depth of cut	4
Chipboard, hardboard	5 - 20 mm	3-4
Chipboard	greater than 20 mm	4
Veneered plywood, plywood	2 - 20 mm	3
Coated and veneered board	to max. depth of cut	4
PVC board	up to 30 mm	2
Acrylic sheet, Plexiglas	up to 25 mm	2-3
Aluminium sheet	2 - 12 mm	2-3
Aluminium sections	1.5 - 3 mm	2-3
Plasterboard	all thicknesses	1-2
Rock wool board	all thicknesses	1
Cement bound woodwool board	up to 20 mm	1

FITTING/REMOVAL AND SETTING OF THE REAMER

Caution: The distance between the reamer and the saw blade is not to be more than 5mm . If the reamer is removed e.g. for plunging then this distance must be reset.

Fitting/removal of the reamer (44):

1. Release the wing nut on the depth stop and swing the saw to meet the stop. This reveals the fastening screw for the reamer and loosens it.
2. Screw out the fastening screw 1 and remove the reamer.

CAUTION / IMPORTANT: After plunging, the reamer must be refitted before further use.

Setting the reamer (a5):

The distance between the reamer and the saw blade teeth is to be set to 5mm max. and the gap between reamer and the deepest point of the saw blade is to be set to 5mm max.

CHANGING THE SAW BLADE

1. Swing back the retractable guard and secure it. Secure the spindle by placing a piece of wood between the saw blade and the guide plate.
2. Unscrew the fastening bolt with a hexagonal spanner. Remove the washer and spring washer 3 (13).
3. Remove the saw blade from the mounting flange.
4. Replacement of the saw blade takes place in the reverse order.

CAUTION: The arrow on the saw blade must point in the direction of rotation (marked with an arrow on the saw body).

Parallel alignment of the blade:

If the circular saw pulls to the left or right then the saw blade is not parallel to the guide plate edge or the parallel guide.

To correct this:

1. Remove the wing nut and plain washer and release wing nuts.
2. Swing the guide plate down and turn to the side, so that the adjustment plate can be positioned.
3. Align the saw blade to be parallel using the adjustment plate.

SAWDUST REMOVAL

The sawdust removal vent can be connected ( = not supplied with accessories)

• Connection spout
• Sawdust collection system*
• 35mm dia. vacuum hose connection to external suction equipment*

MAINTENANCE OF THE CIRCULAR SAW

1. Clean out the circular saw regularly (remove sawdust and splinters of wood etc.). For best results do it immediately after use.
2. Do not allow liquids to get into the circular saw. Use a damp cloth to clean the housing. Do not use petrol, solvents or cleaning fluids that attack plastic.
3. Keep the ventilation airways open and cleaned out.

TIPS AND TRICKS

• When sawing at an angle to meet a stop, the stop (parallel stop/batten) must be offset. To make sure use a trial cut beforehand.
  If you are going to use a wider cut than the parallel guide allows, we recommend that you use a guide rail or run the machine along a clamped-on batten.
  If you are sawing towards a check with a drawn line use the appropriate value in the window: right angled cut (reading "0"), 45^ cut (reading "45") for each cutting angle
  To avoid pulling away the coating on sensitive surfaces, e.g. coated plywood or doors, stick on some rough paper tape along the cut line. This has the additional advantage of the cut line being more easily seen on the tape than on a smooth surface. An even more effective way of avoiding the surface pulling off at the cut edge is to attach a piece of thin wood which is then sawn at the same time.
  The PHKS 1400 circular saw is equipped with INTELLIGENT POWER CONTROL.

This automatic power control ensures that within a certain oscillation range the output from the jigsaw remains constant even when cutting harder and more resistant materials.

You can find other practical tips for electric power tools in the accompanying booklet and safety advice.
