Operation

Operating Modes



Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains 
plug.

Adjusting the Cutting Depth (see figure C)



Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the work-
piece. 

Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be 

visible below the workpiece.

– Loosen the clamping lever 

27

. For a smaller cutting depth, 

pull the saw away from the base plate 

14

; for a larger cut-

ting depth, push the saw toward the base plate 

14

. Adjust 

the desired cutting depth at the cutting-depth scale. Tight-
en the clamping lever 

27

 again.

– If the cutting depth cannot be fully adjusted after loosening 

clamping lever 

27

, pull clamping lever 

27

 away from the 

saw and swivel it downward. Release the clamping lever 

27

 again. Repeat this procedure until the requested cut-

ting depth can be adjusted.

– If the cutting depth cannot be sufficiently locked after 

tightening clamping lever 

27

, pull clamping lever 

27

 away 

from the saw and swivel it upward. Release the clamping 
lever 

27

 again. Repeat this procedure until the cutting 

depth is locked.

Adjusting the Cutting Angle (GKS 55+ G / GKS 55+ GCE)

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

17

.

– Loosen the wing bolts 

8

 and 

15

. Tilt the saw sidewards. 

Adjust the desired measure on the scale 

6

. Tighten the 

wing bolts 

8

 and 

15

 again.

Note: 

For bevel cuts, the cutting depth is smaller than the set-

ting indicated on the cutting-depth scale 

28

.

Adjusting the Cutting Angle (GKS 165)

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

17

.

– Loosen wing bolt 

8

. Tilt the saw sidewards. Adjust the de-

sired setting at the scale 

6

. Tighten wing bolt 

8

 again.

Note: 

For bevel cuts, the cutting depth is smaller than the set-

ting indicated on the cutting-depth scale 

28

.

Cutting Marks

The 0 ° cutting mark 

10

 indicates the position of the saw blade 

for right-angled cuts. The 45 ° cutting mark 

9

 indicates the po-

sition of the saw blade for 45 ° cuts.

– For precise cuts, position the circular saw against the 

workpiece as shown in the figure. It is best to carry out a tri-
al cut.

Starting Operation



Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er source must agree with the voltage specified on the 
nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with 
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.

Switching On and Off

– To 

start

 the machine, 

first

 push the lock-off button for the 

On/Off switch 

3

 and 

then

 press the On/Off switch 

2

 and 

keep it pressed.

– To 

switch off

 the machine, release the On/Off switch 

2

.

Note: 

For safety reasons, the On/Off switch 

2

 cannot be 

locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.

Speed preselection (GKS 55+ GCE)

The required speed can be preselected with the thumbwheel 

1

 (also while running).

The required speed depends on the saw blade being used and 
on the material being worked (see overview of saw blades at 
the end of these operating instructions).

Run-on Brake (GKS 55+ G / GKS 55+ GCE)

An integrated run-on brake reduces the run-on period of the 
saw blade after switching off the machine.

Reduced starting current (GKS 55+ GCE)

The electronic reduced starting current limits the power con-
sumption when switching the tool on and enables operation 
from a 13 ampere fuse.

Constant Electronic Control (GKS 55+ GCE)

Constant electronic control holds the speed constant at no-
load and under load, and ensures uniform working perfor-
mance.

Working Advice

Protect saw blades against impact and shock.

Guide the machine evenly and with light feed in the cutting di-
rection. Excessive feed significantly 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. There-
fore, 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 extraction.
