The parallel guide (14) can be inserted from the
right-hand side into the support provided for it. Read
off the cut width on the marking (15). Tighten the
locking screw (16). It is best to calculate the exact
cut width by making a test cut.
Sawing with a guide rail (for KS 55 FS only):
This can be used to make straight-line, tear-free cut
edges that are millimetre-precise. The anti-slip
coating keeps the surface safe and protects the
workpiece against scratches.
8. Maintenance
Clean the machine regularly. This includes
vacuum cleaning the ventilation louvres on the
motor. Use compressed air to clean the movable
safety guard (24) regularly (wear safety glasses
when doing so). The guard must move freely, auto-
matically, easily and exactly back into its end posi-
tion.
Changing saw blades
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before
carrying out any adjustments or servicing.
Press in the spindle locking button (20) and hold in
place. Turn the saw spindle slowly with the spanner
in the saw blade fixing screw (21) until the lock
catches.
Remove the saw blade fixing screw (21) by turning
it in counter-clockwise direction.
Pull back the movable safety guard (24)using the
lever (10) and remove the saw blade. (23)
The contact areas between the inner saw blade
flange (25), saw blade (23), outer saw blade flange
(22) and saw blade fixing screw (21) must be free of
dust.
Insert a new saw blade, making sure the direction of
rotation is correct. The direction of rotation is indi-
cated by arrows on the saw blade and safety guard.
Tighten the saw blade fixing screw (21).
Only use sharp, undamaged saw blades. Do
not use any cracked saw blades or blades that
have changed their shape.
Do not use any saw blades made from high-
alloy high-speed steel (HSS).
Do not use any saw blades which do not
conform to the specified rating.
The saw blade must be suitable for the no-load
speed.
Use a saw blade that is suitable for the mate-
rial being sawn.
Saw blades intended for cutting wood or
similar materials have to conform to
EN 847-1.

Emission values
Using these values, you can estimate the
emissions from this power tool and compare these
with the values emitted by other power tools. The
actual values may be higher or lower, depending on
the particular application and the condition of the
tool or power tool. In estimating the values, you
should also include work breaks and periods of low
use. Based on the estimated emission values,
specify protective measures for the user - for
example, any organisational steps that must be put
in place.
