PKS 54 / PKS 66

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.

PKS 54 CE / PKS 66 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.

■ Before any work on the machine itself, pull

the mains plug.

Checking the Adjustment of the

Riving Knife

For safety reasons, the riving knife 6 must always

be used. The riving knife prevents the saw blade

from jamming during lengthways cuts.

The adjustment is carried out at minimal cutting

depth, as described in section “Adjusting the Cut-

ting Depth”.

PKS 66 / 66 CE

It is best to place the machine on the face side of

the motor housing.

Loosen clamping lever 23, tilt the base plate

away from the machine and tighten clamping le-

ver 23 again.

Loosen the screw 25, adjust the riving knife 6

and retighten the screw. Observe the values

given in the figure.

PKS 54 / 54 CE

It is best to place the machine on the face side of

the protective guard.

Loosen clamping lever 23, press the saw away

from the base plate 5 and tighten clamping le-

ver 23 again.

Loosen the screw 25, adjust the riving knife 6

and retighten the screw. Observe the values

given in the figure.

■ Before any work on the machine itself, pull

the mains plug.

☞

To achieve an optimum cut, the saw blade

must not protrude more than 3 mm at the

most from the material.

For adjusting the cutting depth loosen the clamp-

ing lever 23 and raise the saw from the base

plate 5, or lower it to the base plate, respectively.

Raise ➡ for smaller cutting depths

Lower ➡ for greater cutting depths

Set the desired depth on the cutting depth

scale 24.

Tighten the clamping lever 23 again.

Clamping lever

The clamping power of the clamping lever 23 can

be adjusted.

To do this, unscrew the clamping lever and set it

at at least 30° counter-clockwise, screw on again.

■ Before any work on the machine itself, pull

the mains plug.

Loosen the winged screws 4 and 15.

It is best to place the machine on the face side of

the protective guard.

Tilt the base plate away from the machine, until

the required cutting angle is adjusted on the cut-

ting angle scale 14.

The cutting mark 0° ( 18) indicates the position of

the saw blade for right angle cuts.

The cutting mark 45° ( 17) indicates the position

of the saw blade for 45° cuts.

Both cutting marks include the width of the saw

blade. Always guide the saw blade off of the

drawn-up cutting line, so that the required meas-

ure is not reduced by the width of the saw blade.

For this, choose the corresponding notch side of

the cutting mark 0° ( 18) or 45° ( 17), as shown in

the illustration.

Note: It is best to carry out a trial cut.

Check for correct mains voltage: The voltage

of the power source must agree with the voltage

specified on the nameplate of the machine.

Equipment marked with 230 V can also be con-

nected to 220 V.

Switching on:

Actuate the switch lock 1.

Press the On/Off switch 10 and hold pressed.

For safety reasons the On/Off switch of

the machine cannot be locked; it must

remain pressed during the entire opera-

tion.

Switching off:

Release the On/Off switch 10.

Speed Selection (Type CE)

With the adjustment knob 9, the speed can be

continuously selected. The required speed is de-

pendent on the saw blade used and the material

to be worked (see Saw Blade Table).

Constant Electronics (Type CE)

The constant electronics ensures that the ma-

chine speed is the same regardless of the load

conditions; this ensures uniform work advancing

and a smooth cutting pattern.

Overload Protection (Type CE)

When the machine is overloaded while sawing,

the motor stops and starts again only when the

advancing rate is reduced.

Gradual, smooth starting procedure

(Type CE)

Due to the gradual, smooth starting procedure of

the machine, a 13 A fuse is sufficient.

■ Before any work on the machine itself, pull

the mains plug.

■ Wear protective gloves.

■ The saw blades used must correspond to

the characteristic data in these operating

instructions.

■ Use only saw blades with an allowable

speed matching at least the no-load speed

of the machine.

For changing the tool, it is easiest to stand the

machine on the front end of the motor housing.

Removing

Press spindle locking button 12 and keep de-

pressed.

■ The spindle locking button 12 may be actu-

ated only when the saw blade is at a stand-

still.

Using the Allen key 13 unscrew the clamping

bolt 22.

Remove clamping flange 21.

Pivot back the swinging protective guard 7 and

hold firmly.

Remove the saw blade.

Mounting

Clean the saw blade and all the clamping parts to

be assembled.

Pivot back the swinging protective guard 7 and

hold firmly.

Place the saw blade onto the mounting flange 20.

Assemble the clamping bolt 22 and clamping

flange 21.

Tighten the clamping bolt 22 with the Allen

key 13. The torque 6–9 Nm is equivalent to tight-

ening by hand plus a

1

/

turn.

Take care that the mounting positions of

the mounting flange 20 and clamping

flange 21 are correct.

When mounting, take care that the cutting

direction of the teeth (direction of the arrow

on the saw blade) and the direction of rota-

tion arrow on the protective guard agree.

Dust developing during opera-

tion can be harmful to your

health, inflammable or explo-

sive. Suitable protective meas-

ures are necessary.

Examples: Dust from beech- or

oak wood is carcinogenic. Use

suitable dust-/wood chip extrac-

tion and wear dust respirator.

Dust from light alloys can burn

or explode. Always keep the

work place clean, as blends of

materials are particularly dan-

gerous.

External Vacuuming

The machine can be plugged directly into the re-

ceptacle of a Bosch general-purpose vac with re-

mote starting control. The vac starts automati-

cally when the Rotocut is switched on.

The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the ma-

terial to be worked.

When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detri-

mental to health or carcinogenic, use a special

vacuum cleaner.

Bosch offers suitable vacuum cleaners for all ma-

terials to be worked.

For dust extraction using an external vacuum

cleaner, a suction adapter must be used in this

case (see accessories). Insert the suction

adapter and suction hose fixture firmly.

Internal Vacuuming

For small jobs, work with the dust bag (optional

extra). Insert the dust bag connection piece into

the dust ejector 2. Empty the dust bag regularly

to maintain an optimum vacuuming function.

☞

Advancing too fast significantly reduces the

performance capability of the machine and

reduces the service life of the saw blade.

Sawing performance and cut quality depend es-

sentially 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.

Wood

The correct selection of the saw blade depends

on the type and quality of the wood and whether

lengthways or crossways cutting is required.

☞

When cutting spruce lengthways long spi-

ral chips are formed.

Beech and oak dusts are especially detrimental

to health and therefore may be worked only with

dust vacuuming.

Plastic (Type CE)

☞

When sawing plastic, especially PVC, long,

spiral shaped shavings are produced that

can be electrostatically charged.

As a result, the dust ejector 2 can become

clogged and jam the swinging protective guard 7.

It is best to use dust vacuuming.

Apply the switched on machine against the work

piece and carefully start sawing. Saw in a brisk

manner without interruptions which prevents the

saw teeth from sticking so quickly.

Non-Ferrous Metal (Type CE)

☞

Use only a sharp saw blade that is suitable

for the material. This ensures a clean cut

and prevents the jamming of the saw

blade.

Apply the switched on machine to the work piece,

start sawing carefully, then saw with slow ad-

vancing and without interruption.

For profile pieces, always start on the small side;

for U-profiles, never begin the cut on the open

side.

Support long profile pieces, otherwise the saw

blade will jam when the piece falls down and the

machine can kick back.

Materials with Mineral Content

(Light Construction Material) (Type CE)

■ Only dry cutting is permitted.

Work only with a guide rail 27 (optional extra).

Use dust vacuuming. The vacuum cleaner must

be approved for the extraction of masonry dust.

Parallel Guide

The parallel guide 8 enables exact cuts along a

work piece edge and cutting strips of the same di-

mension.

Sawing with an auxiliary guide

For cutting large work-pieces or straight edges:

Clamp a board or strip tightly to the work-piece as

an auxiliary guide using screw clamps. Guide the

base plate along the auxiliary guide.

Guide Rail (Optional Extra)

The guide rail 27 enables particularly exact cut-

ting, both vertically and mitred to 45°.

The adhesive coating prevents the guide rail from

slipping and protects the surface of the work

piece. The hard anodised coating of the guide rail

allows the circular saw to glide easily.

The rubber lip on the guide rail serves as a splin-

ter guard, which avoids fraying of the surface

when sawing wooden materials. For this, the

teeth of the saw blade must lie directly against the

rubber lip.

When working with the guide rail 27, the guide

adapter 26 (accessory) is fundamentally re-

quired.

☞

For exact cuts using the guide rail 27 pro-

ceed as follows:

– Place the guide rail onto the work-piece pro-

jecting slightly over the side. Make sure that

the end with the rubber lip is directed towards

the saw blade (fig. I).

– Insert the guide adapter 26 in the seat for

the parallel guide. For pre-adjustment with dif-

ferent cutting angles mind the mark on the

guide adapter 26.

– Place the circular saw with pre-mounted guide

adapter 26 onto the guide rail 27 and set the

cutting angle and cutting depth.

– When setting the cutting depth make sure that

the cutting depth is reduced by the height of

the guide rail.

– Align the circular saw with the aid of the guide

adapter 26 in such a way that the teeth of the

saw blade lie against the edge of the rubber lip.

– Make sure that the guide rail is not sawn into

(fig. II and III).

– Tighten the winged screw for the parallel

guide 16 to ensure a firm connection between

the guide adapter 26 and the circular saw.

– Remove the circular saw from the guide

rail 27.

– Place the guide rail on the work-piece in such

a way that the rubber lip lies exactly along the

cutting edge (crack line) and tighten using

screw clamps 29.

The guide rail 27 must not extend over

the work piece side to be sawed.

– Apply the circular saw and make sure that the

guide adapter 26 is sitting firmly.

– Guide the circular saw across the material,

pushing lightly at a constant pressure.

Note: Using the joining piece 28 (accessory)

two guide rails can be joined together. Clamping

is effected by means of the four screws located in

the joining piece.

■ Before any work on the machine itself, pull

the mains plug.

☞

For safe and proper working, always keep

the machine and the ventilation slots clean.

The swinging protective guard must always be

able to move freely and close on its own accord.

Therefore, always keep the area around the

swinging protective guard clean. Remove dust

and chips by blowing out with compressed air or

with a brush.

If the machine should fail despite the rigorous

manufacturing and testing procedures, repair

should be carried out by an authorised after-sales

service centre for Bosch power tools.

Saw blades that are not coated can be protected

against corrosion with a thin coat of acid-free oil.

Before use, the oil must be removed again, oth-

erwise the wood will become soiled.

Resin and glue residue on the saw blade produce

poor cuts. Therefore, clean the saw blade imme-

diately after use.

In all correspondence and spare parts orders,

please always include the 10-digit order number

given on the nameplate of the machine.

WARNING! Important instructions for con-

necting a new 3-pin plug to the 2 wire cable.

The wires in the cable are coloured according to

the following code:

Do not

connect the blue or brown wire to the

earth terminal of the plug.

Important: If for any reason the moulded plug is

removed from the cable of this machine it must be

disposed of safely.
