Installation and regulation
of power tool elements
Before carrying out any works on the power tool it
must be disconnected from the mains.
Do not draw up the fastening elements
too tight to avoid damaging the thread�
Mounting / dismounting / setting-up of
some elements is the same for all power
tool models, in this case specific models
are not indicated in the illustration�

Replacement of the saw blade (see fig. 2-5)
After prolonged operation, the saw blade
can become very hot, remove it using
gloves. This will also reduce the risk of
injury by the cutting edge.
• Mount power tool on the side end of the motor as
shown in fig. 2-4.
• Press down spindle lock 19 and rotate saw blade 3
manually in order to lock it in a fixed position. While
pressing down spindle lock 19, unscrew bolt 4 with the
help of wrench 22�
• Use lever 16 to turn sliding guard cover 15 clockwise
against the stop�
• Remove washer 25 (HKS18-75 and HKS18-85
only), external flange 5, saw blade 3, internal flange 24
and spacing washer 23 �
• Clean all fixing elements with a soft brush and
mount spacing washer 23, internal flange 24,
saw blade 3, external flange 5 and washer 25
(HKS18-75 and HKS18-85 only) on the spindle, screw
in bolt 4 manually�
Attention! observe the following rules during in-
stallation:
• follow the mounting sequence (see fig. 5); avoid
bending during mounting;
• before mounting saw blade 3, make sure that the
mounting opening diameter fits the diameter of the
projected parts of internal flange 24;
• arrow direction marked on saw blade 3 should co-
incide with arrow direction on guard cover 2;
• mount external flange 5 with bevel edge out-
wards�
• Put sliding guard cover 15 to its initial position�
• Press and hold spindle lock 19 and tighten bolt 4
with wrench 22� Release spindle lock 19�
Use of saw blades of different seating diameters
(see fig. 6)
The power tool enables the operation of saw blades of
two different seating diameters (see power tool speci-
fication table). Internal flange 24 has projected parts
at both side ends (different diameters), used to pivot
saw blade 3� If saw blade 3 of other diameter is re-
quired, turn over internal flange 24 during installation
(see fig. 6).
Regulation of body vertical position (see fig. 7, 11)
[HKS18-75, HKS18-85]
• Loosen fixing screws 9 (see fig. 11).
• Put the body vertically�
• Tighten fixing screws 9�
• Use lever 16 to turn sliding guard cover 15 clockwise
against the stop�
• Place the sides of an alignment setsquare 90° to the
surface of saw blade 3 and base plate 11 (see fig. 7).
If the setsquare sides join the surfaces of saw blade 3
and base plate 11 tightly, then alignment is not needed,
otherwise you have to adjust the position by bolt 26
and lock-nut 27�
• Loosen fixing screws 9�
