Service and maintenance

WARNING
Risk of injury, electric shock
► Always pull the mains plug from the socket
before performing any servicing and main­
tenance work.
► All maintenance and repair work which re­
quires the motor housing to be opened
should always be carried out by an author­
ised service workshop.
► Damaged safety devices and components
must be repaired or replaced in a recog­
nised specialist workshop, unless otherwise
indicated in the operating instructions.
► Regularly clean the table top insert [20.1]
as well as the extraction channel of the chip
deflector (see figure 10) by blowing out with
compressed air or using a brush to remove
wood chips, dust deposits and remains of
workpieces.
► To ensure constant air circulation, always
keep the cooling air openings in the housing
clean and free of blockages.
Cleaning the machine regularly, espe­
cially the adjusting devices and guides, is
an important safety factor.
The tool is equipped with special self-discon­
necting carbon brushes. If they wear out, the
power supply is disconnected automatically and
the tool stops.
Customer service and repairs must
only be carried out by the manufac­
turer or service workshops. Find the

9.1 Adjusting the laser (KS 120 REB only)
The laser beam has been set correctly
during manufacture. Only turn the adjust­
ing screws out of position in the cases that
are specified.
If the laser beams do not align with the cutting
edge, you can readjust the two lasers. Use a
screwdriver (2.5 mm width) to do this.
► Pierce the adhesive labels at the marked lo­
cations ([3.2] to [3.7]) with the screwdriver
to access the adjusting screws underneath.
► Insert a sample workpiece into the machine
to check the laser.
► Saw a groove into the workpiece.
► Swivel the head of the saw upward and
check the setting.
The laser beam is not visible
► Switch on the laser [1.2]
► Identify which of the lasers is not visible.
▷ Turn the adjusting screws [3.3] for the
left and [3.5] for the right laser beam
until the laser appears on your work­
piece.
▷ As described, first set the (a) parallel­
ism to the scribe mark, then (b) the in­
clination and finally, (c) the axial dis­
placement of the laser beam.
a) The laser is not parallel to the scribe
mark [figure 3A]
Adjust the parallelism.

b) During trimming, the laser beam migrates
to the left or right [figure 3B]
Set the inclination until the laser beam no lon­
ger migrates during trimming.

9.2 Correcting horizontal mitre angles
If the indicator [13.2] of the snap-in mitre an­
gles no longer points to the set value, you can
adjust the indicator after loosening the
screw [13.1].
Should the actual (sawn) mitre angle deviate
from the angle you set, this can be corrected:
► Lock the saw unit in the 0° position.
► Loosen the three screws [13.3] which se­
cure the scale onto the saw table.
► Move the scale with the saw unit until it
matches the actual 0° value. You can check
this against an angle between the stop ruler
and the saw blade.
► Retighten the three screws [13.3].
