justment range you would like (0°–45°,
+/-45° or +/-47°).
► Swivel the saw unit until the indicator [14.3]
points to the mitre angle you would like. KS
120 REB only: you can fine-tune the setting
of the vertical mitre angle using the rotary
handle for precision adjustment [14.4].
► Close the clamping lever[14.1] again.
7.9 Special cutting position
Besides the usual position for cutting or trim­
ming boards/panels, the machine has a special
cutting position for trimming slats with heights
of up to 120 mm.
► Pull the saw unit forwards.
► Swivel the lever [15.3] downwards.
► Push the saw unit back until the metal
bracket [15.1] hooks into the rear opening
of the saw unit.
► In this position, you can now trim slats of up
to 120 mm in height at the stop. The pull
function and the vertical swivel function of
the mitre saw are deactivated, however.
► To bring the machine back into its standard
position, press the release lever [15.2] and
pull the saw unit forwards. This will unhook
the metal bracket [15.1] and the lev­
er [15.3] will swivel back.
7.10 Cutting depth limiter
The continuously adjustable cutting depth limit­
er can be used to set the vertical swivelling
range of the saw unit. Doing this enables work­
pieces to be grooved or faced.
Be aware of the limited grooving range:
Continuous adjustment is only possible
within the range 0 to 45 mm. The possible
length of the groove is also limited. E.g.: At
a groove depth of 48 mm and a workpiece
thickness of 88 mm, this range lies be­
tween 40 and 270 mm.
► Move the machine into the working position.
► Swivel the lever for the cutting depth limit­
er [16.1] downwards until it clicks into
place. The saw unit can now be swivelled
34
down only as far as the preset cutting
depth.
► Set the cutting depth you would like by turn­
ing the cutting depth limiter lever.
► To deactivate the cutting depth limiter,
swivel the cutting depth limiter lever back
up again.
7.11 Fixed horizontal position
You can clamp the saw unit in place in any posi­
tion you want along the guide rods [16.3] using
the rotary knob [16.2].
7.12 Switching on the laser (KS 120 REB

The machine has two lasers which mark the
kerf to the left and right of the saw blade. You
can use them to align the workpiece on both
sides (left or right side of the saw blade/kerf).
► Press the button [2.1] to switch the laser on
or off. If the machine is not in use for 30 mi­
nutes, the laser will automatically switch it­
self off and must be switched on again.
