Adjusting The Stroke Strength; Connecting External Dust Extraction; Plunge Cuts; Working Instructions - Parkside PSTKA 12 B3 Mode D'emploi

The maximum mitre angle can only
be set on both sides if the protective
cover (13) is folded up or disassem-
bled (see "Attaching/removing the
protective cover") and the tension
tear protection is removed (See "Re-
moving/attaching the tension tear
protection").
Adjusting the stroke
strength
The pendulum movement of the saw blade
can be adjusted with the pendulum stroke
switch (7). There are 3 positions for the
pendulum stroke switch (7):
0 - no stroke
1 - low stroke
2 - medium stroke
The optimal stroke strength can be estab-
lished through practice; the following set-
tings are recommended:
• Fine and clean cutting edges can be
achieved with little or no pendulum mo-
tion (level 1 or 0).
• For thin material, hard material (e.g.
Aluminium) and for cutting curves, use
level 0 also.
• Soft material (wood, plastic, etc.):
Set the pendulum to level 1 or 2.
With the pendulum stroke activated
you can work much faster.
Connecting external
dust extraction
Connecting external dust
extraction:
1. Slide the adapter for external dust
extraction (19) as far as it will go into
the guide rail between the device and
baseplate (4).
2. Connect an approved dust extractor
(not included in delivery) to the adapter
for external dust extraction.
3. If the external dust extractor does not
fit, use the additional reducer (20) if
necessary.
Removing the external dust
extraction:
1. Disconnect the suction tube from the
adapter for external dust extraction
(19).
2. Disconnect the adapter for external
dust extraction (19).

Plunge cuts

Plunge cuts may only be made in soft ma-
terials such as wood, aerated concrete,
plasterboard, etc. However, this requires a
certain amount of practice and is possible
only with short saw blades.
Plunge cuts are only allowed if the mitre
angle is 0°.
1. Place the front edge of the baseplate
onto the workpiece surface.
2. Switch the saw on.
3. Slowly saw at an angle into the work-
piece, then bring the saw into a verti-
cal position.
4. Continue sawing along the cutting line.
5. Turn off the saw and lift it off the work-
piece after finishing work.

Working instructions

• Clamp the workpiece. Use a clamping
device for small workpieces.
• Draw a line to specify the direction in
which the saw blade is guided.
