WARNING!
► The noise emission levels specified in these instructions have
been measured in accordance with the standardised measuring
procedure specified in ISO 15744 and can be used to make
equipment comparisons. The noise emission values vary in
accordance with the use of the compressed-air tool and may
be higher than the values specified in these instructions in some
cases. It is easy to underestimate the noise emission load if the
compressed-air tool is used regularly in a certain manner.
NOTE
► For an accurate estimate of the noise emission load during a
certain working period, the times during which the appliance is
switched off or is running but not actually being used must also
be taken into consideration. This can significantly reduce the
noise emission load over the total working period.

Hazards caused by dust and vapours
■ The dusts and vapours produced by the use of circular and
oscillating sawing machines and sawing machines with recipro-
cating saw blades can cause health problems (such as cancer,
birth defects, asthma and/or dermatitis); it is essential to carry out
a risk assessment of these hazards and to implement appropriate
control mechanisms.
■ The risk assessment should include all dust caused by the use of
the machine and the existing dust that may be kicked up at the
same time.
■ Circular and oscillating sawing machines or sawing machines
with reciprocating saw blades must be operated and maintained
in accordance with the recommendations contained in this manual
in order to minimise the release of dust and vapours.
■ The exhaust air should be routed so that the raising of dust in
already dusty environments is kept to a minimum.
■ If dusts or vapours are created, the main priority must be to
control these at the site of their release.
■ All inserts or accessories of the machine intended for collecting,
extracting or suppressing airborne dust or vapours should be
used and serviced in accordance with the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.

PDKS 6.3 B3 GB│IE│NI │ 13 ■
■ The consumables/machine tools must be selected, maintained
and replaced in accordance with the recommendations in the op-
erating instructions in order to avoid unnecessary intensification
of dust or steam generation.
■ Warnings about the risk of explosion or fire must be given re-
garding the processed material.
■ Use respiratory protective equipment in accordance with instruc-
tions and as required by health and safety regulations.
■ Working with certain materials causes emissions of dust and
vapour, resulting in a potentially explosive environment.
Hazards caused by noise
■ Excessive noise levels in conjunction with insufficient hearing
protection may lead to permanent hearing damage, hearing loss
and other problems, such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, whistling
or humming in your ears). A risk assessment and the implementa-
tion of appropriate regulatory mechanisms for these hazards are
therefore essential.
■ Suitable regulatory mechanisms include measures such as the use
of insulation materials to avoid ringing noise occurring on
the workpieces.
■ Use hearing protection equipment.
■ Circular and oscillating sawing machines or sawing machines
with reciprocating saw blades must be operated and maintained
in accordance with the recommendations contained in these
operating instructions in order to avoid an unnecessary increase
in the noise level.

PDKS 6.3 B3
■ 14 │ GB│IE│NI
■ The consumables/machine tools must be selected, maintained
and replaced in accordance with the recommendations in the
operating instructions in order to avoid an unnecessary increase
in the noise level.
■ If the circular and oscillating sawing machines or the sawing
machines with reciprocating saw blades are equipped with a
silencer, always ensure that it is in its place and in working order
when the machine is in operation.
Hazards caused by vibrations
■ Vibrations can damage the nerves and cause malfunctions to the
blood circulation in the hands and arms.
■ When working in a cold environment, wear warm clothing and
keep your hands warm and dry.
■ If you experience numbness, tingling or pain in your fingers or
hands, or if the skin on your fingers or hands turns white, stop
working with the compressed-air saw and consult a doctor.
■ Circular and oscillating sawing machines or sawing machines
with reciprocating saw blades must be operated and maintained
in accordance with the recommendations contained in these
operating instructions in order to avoid unnecessary amplification
of vibrations.
■ The consumables/machine tools must be selected, maintained
and replaced in accordance with the recommendations in this
operating manual in order to avoid unnecessary amplification of
vibrations.

PDKS 6.3 B3 GB│IE│NI │ 15 ■
■ Always use a stand, a clamp or a compensation device to sup-
port the weight of the machine.
■ Hold the machine securely but not too firmly while maintaining
the necessary hand-reaction force, as the vibration risk generally
increases the harder the machine is held.
■ Improper attachment of the saw blade can cause an excessive
vibration level.
Additional safety instructions for pneumatic
machines
■Compressed air can cause serious injuries.
–Ensure that the air supply is switched off, the hose is not
under pressure, that the air supply has been shut off and that
the machine is disconnected from the air supply when not in
use, and also before exchanging accessories or carrying out
repairs.
–Never aim the airflow towards yourself or any other person.
■ Thrashing hoses can cause serious injury. Therefore, always
check that the hoses and their fixings are not damaged or have
not come loose.
■ If universal rotary joints (claw couplings) are used, locking
pins must be used to provide protection; Whipcheck®air hose
restraints must be used to provide protection in case of a failure
of the connection of the hose to the machine.
■ Ensure that the maximum permissible pressure on the machine is
not exceeded.
■ Never carry pneumatic machines by the hose.

Before use
Lubrication
WARNING!
► Avoid eye and skin contact with lubricants.
► Inform yourself about the health hazards of the oil used in the
safety data sheet of the respective manufacturer.
NOTE
► Regular lubrication is particularly important to avoid friction and
corrosion damage. We recommend using a suitable special oil
for compressed-air tools (e.g. Liqui Moly compressor oil).
–Lubrication with mist oiler
A mist oiler (not supplied) continuously and optimally lubri-
cates the grinder as a preparation stage after the pressure
reducer. A mist oiler gives off fine drops of oil into the air
flow and thus guarantees a regular lubrication.
–Manual lubrication
If you do not have a mist oiler, lubricate the tool before
every use or longer work sessions. Add 3–5 drops of
pneumatic oil into the connector nipple .
Topping up the oil
To ensure that the compressed-air saw remains operational for as
long as possible, make sure that there is sufficient pneumatic oil in
the appliance.

PDKS 6.3 B3 GB│IE│NI │ 17 ■
The following options are available:
♦ Attach a maintenance unit with an oiler to the compressor.
♦ Install a fitted oiler into the compressed-air line or the compressor.
♦ Add 3–5 drops of pneumatic oil into the connector nipple
every 15 minutes of operation.
Connecting to a compressed-air source
NOTE
► Before connecting the compressed-air source
–the correct working pressure (3–6.3 bar) must be fully
reached, and
–you must ensure that the trigger is in its initial position.
♦ Attach the tool to a compressor by connecting the connector
nipple with the supply hose of the compressed-air source.
♦ The compressed-air source must be equipped with a pressure
reducer so that you can regulate the air pressure.
