erating hand. Always keep your free hand
outside of the hazardous area.
– Always use and fix extension table [1.8]
during operation (see chapter 7.5).
– Only guide the power tool towards the
workpiece when it is switched on.
– Adjust the feed speed in order to prevent
the machine from overloading and to pre­
vent the plastic from melting if you are cut­
ting plastics.
– Do not work on the power tool if its elec­
tronics are defective as this may lead to ex­
cessive speeds. You can tell if the electron­
ics are defective if there is no smooth start-
up, if it is not possible to regulate the speed
and in the event of generation of smoke or
the smell of burning from the machine.
– Before beginning work, ensure that the saw
blade cannot touch the stop rulers, work­
piece clamp, fastening clamps or other ma­
chine parts.
Always disconnect the mains plug from
the socket when the power tool is not in
use. This optimises the service life of the
electronics.

Long workpieces
Provide extra support for any workpieces that
protrude over the sawing surface:
► Adjust the extension table (see section 7.5).
► If the workpiece still protrudes, retract the
extension table and install the KA-KS 120
trimming attachment (see section 8.1).
► Use additional clamps to secure the work­
piece.
Thin workpieces
During sawing, thin workpieces may wobble or
break.
► During sawing, thin workpieces may wobble
or break.
► Reinforce the workpiece: Clamp it together
with wood offcuts.
Heavy workpieces
► To guarantee the stability of the machine,
even when sawing heavy workpieces, adjust
the support foot so that it is flush with the
base.
8.2 Check that the pendulum guard can
move
The pendulum guard must always be able
to move freely and close independently.
► Pull out the mains plug.
► Take hold of the pendulum guard and, as a
trial run, slide it into the saw unit.
The pendulum guard must be easy to move
and must be almost fully lowered into the
pendulum hood.
Cleaning the area of the saw blade
► Always keep the area around the pendulum
guard clean.
► Clear dust and chippings by blowing out
with compressed air or using a brush.
8.3 Clamping the workpiece
WARNING
Risk of injury
► Observe the following instructions:
Secure fit – always clamp the workpiece in
–
position with the workpiece clamp. This re­
quires the hold-down clamp [17.2] to be
resting securely on the workpiece. (Note:
Aids may be required depending on the
workpiece contours, e.g. round contours).
Do not process any workpieces that have
not been securely clamped.
– Size – do not process workpieces that are
too small. In the interests of safety, the cut
