Using The Saw - Parkside PTK 2000 A1 Bedienungs- Und Sicherheitshinweise

Important. Note the running direction.
The cutting angle of the teeth must point in run-
ning direction, i.e. forwards (see the arrow on
the blade guard (2) )
9. Refit and set the table insert (6) and the saw blade
guard (2) (see 8.5 and 8.6)
10. Check to make sure that all safety devices are prop-
erly mounted and in good working condition before
you begin working with the saw again.

9. Using the saw

9.1 On/Off switch (Fig. 23)
- The saw can be switched on by pressing the green
pushbutton „I".
- The red pushbutton „0" has to be pressed to switch
off the saw.
9.2 Cutting depth (Fig. 23)
Turn the round handle (8) to set the blade (5) to the
required cutting depth.
- Turn anti-clockwise: larger cutting depth
- Turn clockwise: smaller cutting depth
After each new adjustment it is advisable to carry out a
trial cut in order to check the set dimensions.
9.3 Setting the angle (Fig. 23)
With the table saw you can make diagonal cuts to the
left oriented to the stop bar from 0 ° to 45 °.
m Check before each cut, that between the stop bar
(e), cross-stop (13) and the saw blade (5) a collision is
not possible.
- Undo the fixing handle (9).
- Turn the handle (9.1) to set the desired angle on the
scale.
- Lock the fixing handle (9) again in the required angle
position.
9.4 Parallel stop
9.4.1 Stop height (Fig. 24-25)
- The stop rail (e) for the parallel stop (7) has two dif-
ferent guide faces (high and low).
- For thick material you must use the stop rail (e) as
shown in Fig. 26, for thin material (with a workpiece
thickness of less than 25 mm) you must use the stop
rail as shown in Fig. 26.1.
9.4.2 Turning the stop rail (Fig. 24-25)
- First undo the wing nuts (f) to turn the stop rail (e).
- The stop rail (e) can now by pulled off the guide rail
(h) and can be pushed back over it with the appropri-
ate guide.
- Retighten the wing nuts (f).
9.4.3 Cutting width (Fig. 27-28)
- The parallel stop (7) has to be used when making
longitudinal cuts in wooden workpieces.
- The parallel stop should be mounted on the right-hand
side of the saw blade (5).
- Place the parallel stop on the guide rail for the parallel
stop (12) from above (Fig. 28).
- There are 2 scales (j/k) on the guide rail for the paral-
lel stop (12) which show the distance between the
stop rail (e) and the saw blade (5) (Fig. 27).
- Depending on this, choose the appropriate scale to
suit whether the stop rail (e) is turned for thick or thin
material:
High stop rail (thick material):
12 GB
Scale j
Low stop rail (thin material):
Scale k
- Set the parallel stop (7) for the required dimension
using the inspection window (I) and secure it using the
eccentric lever for the parallel stop (31).
9.4.4 Adjusting the stop length (Fig. 29)
- The stop rail (e) can be moved in longitudinal direc-
tion in order to prevent the workpiece from becoming
jammed.
- Rule of thumb: The rear end of the stop comes up
against an imaginary line that begins roughly at the
center of the blade and runs at an angle of 45° to the
rear.
- Set the required cutting width.
- Slacken the wing nuts (f) and push the stop rail (e)
forward until it touches the imaginary 45° line.
- Tighten the wing nuts (f) again.
9.5 Adjusting the parallel stop (Fig. 30)
m Remove protective cap
- Set the saw blade (5) to maximum cutting depth (see
9.2).
- Set the parallel stop (7) so that the stop rail (e)
touches the saw blade (setting for thick material, also
see Point 9.4).
- If the parallel stop (7) is not in line with the saw blade
(5), undo the screws (m) on the parallel stop until the
parallel stop (7) can be adjusted in line with the saw
blade (5) (Figure 30).
- Re-tighten the screws (m).
9.6 Cross stop (Fig. 31)
• Slide the cross stop (13) into the groove (32) of the
table.
• Slacken the knurled screw (33).
• Turn the cross stop (13) until the required angle is set.
The notch (w) indicates the set angle.
• Retighten the knurled screw (33).
• When cutting you must use the stop rail (e) from the
parallel stop (7) to extend the length of the cross stop
(13) (Fig. 31-32)
• To extend the cross stop (13) with the stop rail (e), the
stop rail (e) must be removed of the parallel stop (7).
Now mount the stop rail as shown in Fig. 32, using the
wing nuts.
Important.
- Do not push the stop rail (e) too far toward the blade.
- The distance between the stop rail (e) and the blade
(5) should be approx. 2 cm (Fig. 31)
9.7 Adjusting the scale on the cross stop (Fig.
32)
- Place a 90° stop angle against the saw blade (5).
- Connect the cross stop (13) to the stop rail (e) of the
parallel stop (7) (see 9.6).
- Undo the knurled screw (33) of the cross top (13).
- Position the cross stop (13) so that the stop rail is in
a 90° angle to the saw blade (5). Now precisely align
the cross stop to the saw blade using the 90° stop
angle and retighten the knurled screw (33).
- Check if the cross stop is aligned at exactly 90°. If
this is not the case, continue as follows:
- Undo the two screws (o) holding the scale (p) to
the cross stop (13) until the scale can be set to
the correct position.
- Retighten the screws (o).
9.8 Using the laser (Fig. 34-35)
