3. Tighten the parallel fence adjustment knob (y).
ADJUSTING
1. Slacken the fence adjustment knob (y) and set
the parallel fence (x) to the desired width.
The adjustment can be read on the parallel
fence scale.
2. Tighten the fence adjustment knob (y).
Mounting the Dust Extraction Spout
(fi g. 1, 6, 12)
Your HKS 61 circular saw is supplied with a dust
extraction spout.
TO INSTALL DUST EXTRACTION SPOUT
1. Fully loosen depth adjustment lever (q).
2. Place base plate (i) in the lowest position.
3. Align the left half of the dust extraction spout
(gg) over upper blade guard (m) as shown. Be
sure to insert the tab into the casting notch on
the tool. When installed correctly, it will snap fully
over the original depth of cut pointer.
4. Align the right-hand piece with the left.
5. Insert screws and tighten securely.
Dust Extraction (fi g. 12)
WARNING: Risk of dust inhalation.
To reduce the risk of personal injury,
ALWAYS wear an approved dust mask.
A dust extraction spout (gg) is supplied with your
tool.
Vacuum hoses of most common vacuum extractors
will fit directly into the dust extraction spout.
WARNING: ALWAYS use a vacuum
extractor designed in compliance with
the applicable directives regarding dust
emission when sawing wood. Vacuum
hoses of most common vacuum
cleaners will fit directly into the dust
extraction outlet.
Guide Rail System (fi g. 13–21)
Guide rails, available in different lengths as
accessories, allow the use of the circular saw for
precise, straight clean cuts and simultaneously
protect the workpiece surface against damage.
In conjunction with additional accessories, exact
angled cuts, mitre cuts and fitting work can be
completed with the guide rail system.
Clamps (dd) are available to secure the guide rail (bb)
to the workpiece (fig. 13). Use of these clamps (dd)
ensure that the guide rail (bb) is securely attached to
48
the workpiece (cc) for safe working. Once the guide
rail is set to the cut line and securely fixed to the
workpiece, there is no movement during cutting.
IMPORTANT : The height scale on the unit is set for
using the saw without a guide rail. When using the
saw on the guide rail the difference in height will be
approximately 5.0 mm.
SETTING THE CIRCULAR SAW TO THE GUIDE RAIL
(FIG. 1, 14)
The clearance between the circular saw and the
guide rail (fig. 14, bb) must be very small to achieve
best cutting results. The smaller this clearance the
better the straight line finish will be on the workpiece.
The clearance can be set with the two rail adjusters
(fig. 1, z, aa) for each channel in the base for 0°
cutting (z) and for 1-45° bevel cutting (aa). The
rail adjusters are precision cams that allow for the
reduction of clearance between the unit and guide
rail. Once these adjusters have been set, sideways
movement of the saw during cutting is kept to a
minimum while allowing a smooth cutting action.
NOTE: The adjusters are set to minimum clearance
in the factory and may need adjusting and setting
before the unit is used. Use the following instructions
for setting the circular saw to the guide rail.
REMEMBER: Set the rail adjusters on the saw to
the guide rail.
1. Undo the screw inside the rail adjuster to allow
for adjustment between the saw and the guide
rail.
2. Retract the lower guard and place the unit
on the guide rail, ensuring the blade is in the
highest position.
3. Rotate the adjuster until saw locks on guide rail.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the saw is securely
attached to the rail by trying to push the saw
forward. Ensure there is no movement of the
saw.
4. Rotate the adjuster back slightly until saw slides
easily along the rail.
5. Hold the rail adjuster in position and tighten the
screw again.
NOTE: ALWAYS adjust the system for use with
other rails.
The rail adjusters are now set up to minimise
sideways deviation when cutting with the saw on the
guide rail.
Before using the saw, the anti-splinter guard (ee) on
the guide rail will need tuning in. Refer to Tuning
the Anti-Splinter Guard.
