Working Advice

Protect saw blades against impact and shock.

Guide the machine evenly and with light feed in

the cutting direction. Excessive feed significant-

ly reduces the service life of the saw blade and

can cause damage to the power tool.

Sawing performance and cutting quality depend

essentially on the condition and the tooth form

of the saw blade. Therefore, use only sharp saw

blades that are suited for the material to be

worked.

Sawing Wood

The correct selection of the saw blade depends

on the type and quality of the wood and whether

lengthway or crossway cuts are required.

When cutting spruce lengthways, long spiral

chips are formed.

Beech and oak dusts are especially detrimental

to health. Therefore, work only with dust extrac-

tion.

Sawing Plastic (PKS 54 CE/PKS 66 CE)

Note: When sawing plastic, especially PVC, long

spiral chips are formed that can be electrostati-

cally charged. This can clog the sawdust ejector

18 and cause the retracting blade guard 13 to

jam. It is best to work with dust extraction.

Guide the switched on power tool against the

workpiece and carefully start the cut. Continue

the cut with low feed and without interruption,

so that the saw teeth do not gum up too quickly.

Sawing Non-ferrous Metals (PKS 54 CE/

PKS 66 CE)

Note: Use only a sharp saw blade that is suitable

for non-ferrous metals. This ensures a clean cut

and prevents blade binding.

Guide the switched on power tool against the

workpiece and carefully start the cut. Continue

the cut with low feed and without interruption.

When sawing profiles, always begin the cut from

the narrow side; when sawing U-profiles, never

start the cut from the open side. Support long

profiles in order to avoid blade binding and kick-

back of the power tool.

Sawing Light Building Materials (Materials

with Mineral Content) (PKS 54 CE/PKS 66 CE)

f When sawing light building materials, ob-

serve the statutory provisions and the rec-

ommendations of the material suppliers.

Light building materials may only be sawn dry

and when applying dust extraction. Always work

with the guide rail 29 (accessory).

The vacuum cleaner must be approved for the

extraction of masonry dust. Bosch provides suit-

able vacuum cleaners.

Sawing with Parallel Guide (see figure D)

The parallel guide 12 enables exact cuts along a

workpiece edge and cutting strips of the same

dimension.

Loosen wing bolt 9 and slide the scale of the

parallel guide 12 through the guide in the base

plate 15. Adjust the desired cutting width as the

scale setting at the respective cutting mark 11

or 10; see Section “Cutting Marks”. Tighten

wing bolt 9 again.

Sawing with Auxiliary Guide (see figure E)

For sawing large workpieces or straight edges, a

board or strip can clamped to the workpiece as

an auxiliary guide; the base plate of the circular

saw can be guided alongside the auxiliary guide.

Sawing with Guide Rail (see figure F)

The guide rail 29 is used to carry out straight

cuts.

The adhesive coating prevents the guide rail

from slipping and protects the surface of the

workpiece. The coating of the guide rail allows

the circular saw to glide easily.

The rubber lip on the guide rail acts as a splinter

guard that prevents fraying or tearing out of the

surface when sawing wooden materials. For

this, the teeth of the saw blade must face direct-

ly against the rubber lip.

The guide rail 29 must not extend beyond the

face side of the workpiece where the cut is to

be started.

The guide-rail adapter 28

is required for working

with the guide rail 29. The guide-rail adapter 28

is mounted in the same manner as the parallel

guide 12.
