► Push the saw unit towards the rear all the
way to the stop (in the direction of the work­
piece stop) and tighten the rotary knob [1.5]
for clamping the pulling unit or secure the
saw unit in the special cutting position
(KS 120 REB only).
► Switch on the machine.
► Slowly guide the saw unit downward by the
handle [1.1] and saw through the workpiece
at an even feed rate.
► Switch the machine off and wait until the
saw blade has come to a complete stand­
still.

8.7 Bevel (KS 120 REB only)
The bevel can be used to gauge any angle (e.g.
between two walls). The bevel therefore forms
the angle bisection.
Gauging the interior angle
► Open the clamp [18.2].
► Place the bevel with the two routers [18.1]
against the interior angle.
► Close the clamp [18.2].
Gauging the exterior angle
► Open the clamp [18.3].
► Push the aluminium profiles [18.4] of the
two routers forwards.
3–6
► Place the bevel with the two routers [18.4]
against the exterior angle.
3–5
► Close the clamp [18.3].
1–3
► Push the aluminium profiles of the two
routers back again.
3–6
Transferring the angle
► Place the bevel with one router against the
stop ruler of the mitre saw.
► To set the angle bisector (horizontal mitre
angle), swivel the saw unit until the laser
beam is congruent with the line [19.1] of
the bevel.
To do so, the bevel must be positioned
so that it is parallel to the stop of the
compound mitre saw. At the same
time, apply pressure to the stop ruler
by pressing in the recessed grip with
your thumb.

Service and maintenance

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 manual.
► 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.
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.
