tion or kickback may occur. 

Investigate and take correc-

tive actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.



When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw 
blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not en-
gaged into the material. 

If saw blade is binding, it may 

walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is re-
started.



Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade 
pinching and kickback. 

Large panels tend to sag under 

their own weight. Supports must be placed under the pan-
el on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of 
the panel.



Do not use dull or damaged blades. 

Unsharpened or im-

properly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive 
friction, blade binding and kickback.



Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be 
tight and secure before making cut. 

If blade adjustment 

shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.



Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or 
other blind areas. 

The protruding blade may cut objects 

that can cause kickback.

Lower guard function



Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. 
Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not move 
freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower 
guard into the open position. 

If saw is accidentally 

dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard 
with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely 
and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles 
and depths of cut.



Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the 
guard and the spring are not operating properly, they 
must be serviced before use. 

Lower guard may operate 

sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a 
build-up of debris.



The lower guard may be retracted manually only for 
special cuts such as “plunge cuts and angle cuts”. Raise 
the lower guard by retracting the handle and as soon as 
the blade enters the material, release the lower guard. 

For all other sawing operations, the lower guard should op-
erate automatically.



Always observe that the lower guard is covering the 
blade before placing saw down on bench or floor. 

An un-

protected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk back-
wards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time 
it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.

Additional safety warnings



Do not reach into the saw dust ejector with your hands. 

They could be injured by rotating parts.



Do not work overhead with the saw. 

In this manner you 

do not have sufficient control over the power tool.



Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are 
hidden in the work area or call the local utility company 
for assistance. 

Contact with electric lines can lead to fire 

and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or 
may cause an electric shock.



Do not operate the power tool stationary. 

It is not de-

signed for operation with a saw table.



Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw blades. 

Such saw 

blades can easily break.



Do not saw ferrous metals. 

Red hot chips can ignite the 

dust extraction.



When working with the machine, always hold it firmly 
with both hands and provide for a secure stance. 

The 

power tool is guided more secure with both hands.



Secure the workpiece. 

A workpiece clamped with clamp-

ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.



Always wait until the machine has come to a complete 
stop before placing it down. 

The tool insert can jam and 

lead to loss of control over the power tool.

Products sold in GB only

: Your product is fitted with a 

BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA 
approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be 
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an author-
ised customer service agent. The replacement plug should 
have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible 
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains sock-
et elsewhere.

Products sold in AUS and NZ only

: Use a residual current de-

vice (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

tions. 

Failure to follow the warnings and in-

structions may result in electric shock, fire 
and/or serious injury.

page for the machine and leave it open.

Intended Use

GKS 55:

The machine is intended for lengthways and crossways cut-
ting of wood with straight cutting lines as well as mitre cuts in 
wood while resting firmly on the workpiece. With suitable saw 
blades, thin-walled non-ferrous metals, e. g., profiles, can al-
so be sawed.
Working ferrous metals is not permitted.

GKS 55 GCE:

ting of wood with straight cutting lines as well as mitre cuts in 
wood while resting firmly on the workpiece. With suitable saw 
blades, thin-walled non-ferrous metals, e. g., profiles, light 
uilding materials and plastic can also be sawed.
Working ferrous metals is not permitted.
