juries, the saw head is arrested in its upper position and can be un-
locked with a small lever at the horizontal grip.
This also unlocks the mechanical safety catch for the swivelling saw
blade protection: This folds itself up when the saw head is lowered
to the work piece. The ergonomically placed on/off button can then
be pressed easily and without risk.

6 Before beginning work

Note:
Safe and precise work is only then possible if the device has been
properly fastened with screws to a worktop. There are drill holes in
the heel plate for this purpose.
Caution!
When fixing or transporting the device, always disconnect the mains
plug!
Danger!
Never operate the crosscut and mitre saw without wearing protec-
tive goggles!
Never use the crosscut and mitre saw to cut materials other than
wood, non-ferrous metals or plastics.
Only choose saw blades suitable for the material to be cut.

7 Working with the KGS 80 Crosscut and mitre saw

7.1 Cutting capacity

Work can begin after the device has been fixed to a stable base. Ad-
ditional preparations are not necessary and the work piece to be sep-
arated can be clamped into the vice and cut in two. Please note the
following maximum sizes in dependence on the sawing angle:
approx. 230 x 230 mm
approx. 50 mm
approx. 215 mm
(in resting position of the
separating head)
approx. 300 mm
(saw head at far right)
80 mm
max. 45 mm
approx. 6 kg
80–85 mm
10 mm
220 - 240 Volt,
50/60 Hz
200 watt

approx. 17 m/sec
< 82 dB(A)
Cutting capacity at 90°
(right-angled cut):

to (in mm) mm)
10 65

How to read the table:
If, for example, you would like to cut a 30 mm squared timber in two
at a 45° angle, it may only have a maximum depth of 10 mm. Please
note that these are only standard values.

7.2 Sawing

7.2.1 General notes on setting the saw head

To achieve the shortest possible clamping length of the clamped
work piece, the position of the saw head can be adjusted by using
the knurled screw 11 (fig. 2a/b). This enables the saw blade to be
guided as close to the clamping fixture 6 as possible. Cuts will then
be especially clean and precise if there is only a small gap between
the restraint and the saw blade level.
Before every use, make certain that the saw head is not set so that
the saw blade will collide with the jaws of the clamping fixture when
swivelling the saw head down (e.g. by shutting down the saw head
when machine is off. Caution: disconnect the mains plug here)! Risk
of injury!
Caution!
Do not remove any cutting scraps or other work piece parts from the
cutting area as long as the machine is running and the saw blade is
not in its home position.

7.2.2 Straight and mitre cuts

7.2.2.1 If you would like to produce straight cuts (see fig. 2a)
1. Make sure that turntable 1 (see fig. 2a) is in the 0° position: Ar-
row marking 2 must point to the 0° marking on scale 3 in the de-
vice base. If not, then please set as follows: (Caution: Please
make sure that knurled screw 13 is released!)
2. Release stop lever 4 by lifting it and guide turntable 1 to the cor-
responding position. Let go of stop lever 4. Caution! The turntable
will lock in place at 0°. If necessary, move turntable back and
forth a bit with released stop lever until the stop lever catches.
3. Insert work piece 5 in clamping fixture 6, align and tighten. Pay
attention to the desired length of the „free" end!
4. For perfect alignment, saw head 7 of the switched off (!) device
after locking lever 8 has been unlocked (pull to the front) can be
swivelled down so far that saw blade 9 at the automatic swiv-
elled-away saw blade protection 10 just barely touches the work
piece (see also fig. 3). This enables a better estimation of the fu-
ture length of the work piece.
5. For exact adjustment, saw head 7 can be finely toggled by using
knurled screw 11.
