Cleaning - Parkside PTKS 2000 F4 Bedienungs- Und Sicherheitshinweise

12.2.1 Performing angled cuts (fig. 23)
Angled cuts are always made using the parallel stop (1). The
parallel stop (1) must always be fitted to the right of the saw
blade (6). Otherwise, workpieces can become jammed be-
tween the parallel stop (1) and the saw blade (6) during saw-
ing and ejected at speed.
1. Set the saw blade (6) to the desired angle (see 11.3).
2. Adjust the parallel stop (1) according to the workpiece
height and the desired width (see 11.4).
3. Lower the saw blade guard (4) onto the saw table (2).
4. Make the cut according to the workpiece width (see 12.2).
12.3 Performing longitudinal cuts (fig. 24)
m WARNING
Risk of injury from rotating parts and sharp edges
- Hold the workpiece firmly.
- Push the workpiece with the transverse stop until it is com-
pletely cut through.
1. Set the transverse stop (3) as required (see fig. 11.5.1).
If the saw blade (6) is also inclined, push the transverse
stop (3) into the right guide groove so that neither your
hand nor the transverse stop (3) make contact with the saw
blade guard (4).
2. Lower the saw blade guard (4) onto the saw table (2).
When sawing, the saw blade guard (4) is pushed by the
workpiece.
3. Firmly press the workpiece against the transverse stop (3).
4. Switch on the extraction system and then the circular table
saw.
5. To make the cut, slide the transverse stop (3) and the work-
piece in the direction of the saw blade (6).
12.4 Cutting narrow workpieces (fig. 25)
Be sure to use a push stick (35) when making longitudinal cuts
in workpieces smaller than 120 mm in width.
With short workpieces, use the push stick (35) from the begin-
ning.
1. Adjust the parallel stop (1) according to the workpiece
height and the desired width (see 11.4).
2. Place your hands flat on the workpiece with your fingers
closed and slide it along the parallel stop (1) into the saw
blade (6).
3. Always use the push stick (35) to push the workpiece
through to the end of the riving knife (5).
12.5 Cutting extremely narrow workpieces
(fig. 26)
Be sure to use a wooden push block (36) when making longi-
tudinal cuts in very narrow workpieces with a width of 50 mm
and less.
The wooden push block (36) is not included in the scope of
delivery! (Available from your specialist dealer) Replace the
wooden push block (36) without delay when it becomes worn.
During sawing, workpieces can become jammed between the
parallel stop (1) and the saw blade (6), caught by the saw
blade (6) and then ejected at speed. For this reason, the lower
guide surface of the parallel stop (1) should be favoured (see
fig. 17). Shift the stop rail (1a) if required (see 11.4.2).
1. Adjust the parallel stop (1) according to the workpiece
height and the desired width (see 11.4).
2. Use the wooden push block (36) to press the workpiece
against the stop rail (1a) and use the push stick (35) to
push the workpiece through to the end of the riving knife
(5).
12.6 Cutting chipboard
To prevent the cutting edges from breaking when cutting chip-
board, do not set the saw blade (5) higher than 5 mm above the
thickness of the workpiece (also see 11.2).
12.7 After sawing
1. Switch off the circular table saw first and then the extrac-
tion system. The saw blade continues to run for a longer
time.
2. Disconnect the circular table saw from the mains by pulling
the mains plug out of the power socket.
3. Do not remove the cut waste on the saw table until the saw
blade has returned to its resting position.
4. Allow the circular table saw to cool down completely.
12.8 Removing jammed material
m WARNING
Danger of injury for fingers and hands due to sharp edges
- Wear protective gloves.
• Switch off the circular table saw immediately and discon-
nect the mains plug from the power socket if the saw blade is
jammed in the workpiece or other blockages occur.
• Use protective gloves and do not touch the saw blade with
your bare hands.

13. Cleaning

m DANGER
Risk of electric shock due to water entering into the machine.
- Do not splash the product with water.
m WARNING
Danger of injury due to unexpected start-up of the machine
- Pull the mains plug out of the outlet.
13.1 Cleaning the product and saw blade guard
ATTENTION
Product damage due to insufficient cleaning
- Clean the product thoroughly after each use.
ATTENTION
Product damage due to aggressive solvents or cleaning agents.
- Use a brush to remove course dirt.
- Clean the product with a damp, clean, lint-free cloth and
soft soap.
1. Remove dust and chips with a brush after each working
operation.
2. Clean the ventilation holes with a lint-free cloth.
13.2 Clean the product with compressed air
ATTENTION
Product damage due to use of a compressed air device with
too high of a pressure
By cleaning the product with highly compressed air, electrical
components may become damaged.
