The machine is intended for cutting wood length-
ways and crossways in straight lines and at mi-
tred angles of up to 45° on a firm surface.
GKS 54 CE
The machine is intended for lengthways and
crossways cutting of wood with straight cutting
lines as well as mitre angles to 45° while resting
firmly on the work piece. With suitable saw
blades, non-ferrous metal, light building materials
and plastic can also be sawed.
Working safely with this ma-
chine is possible only when the
operating and safety information
are read completely and the in-
structions contained therein are
strictly followed. In addition, the
general safety notes in the enclosed booklet
must be observed. Before using for the first
time, ask for a practical demonstration.
■ Wear protective glasses and hearing protec-
tion.
■ For long hair, wear hair protection. Work only
with closely fitting clothes.
■ If the mains cable is damaged or cut through
while working, do not touch the cable but im-
mediately pull the mains plug. Never use the
machine with a damaged cable.
■ The dust that is produced while working can be
detrimental to health, inflammable or explo-
sive. Suitable safety measures are required.
Examples: Some dusts are regarded as carci-
nogenic. Use suitable dust/chip extraction and
wear a dust respirator.
■ When working with the machine, always hold it
firmly with both hands and provide for a secure
stance.
■ Always direct the cable to the rear away from
the machine.
■ Connect machines that are used in the open
via a residual current device (RCD) with an ac-
tuating current of 30 mA maximum. Do not op-
erate the machine in rain or moisture.
■ Hold the power tool only by the insulated
gripping surfaces, when performing an op-
eration where the cutting tool may run into
hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the op-
erator.
■ Use appropriate detectors to determine if
utility lines are hidden in the work area or
call the local utility company for assist-
ance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and
electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead
to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes
property damage or may cause an electric
shock.
■ The machine must be operated only with the
appertaining protective devices.
■ The retracting blade guard 16 must be able to
move freely and close by itself; it must not be
clamped while opened.
■ Always use the riving knife 15.
■ For stationary use, the machine may be oper-
ated only on a sawing table with restarting pro-
tection.
■ Apply the machine to the workpiece only when
switched on.
■ Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
■ When working, always guide the machine
away from the body.
■ Do not work with materials containing asbes-
tos.
■ The cutting path must be free of obstacles both
above and below.
■ The saw blade must not protrude more
than 3 mm out of the workpiece.
■ Keep hands clear of the rotating saw blade. Do
not come into contact with the rotating saw
blade on the underside of the workpiece.
■ Do not allow fingers to enter the chip ejec-
tor 12.
■ Do not saw into nails, screws, etc.
■ Do not work overhead with the machine.
