8. Commissioning

8.1 Connect the chip and dust
extraction unit
Danger!
Dust of certain timber species (e.g. beech, oak,
ash) can cause cancer when inhaled.
– Use only a suitable dust extraction unit when
working.
– In addition, use a dust mask, as not all saw dust
is collected or extracted.
If you connect the device to a chip and dust
extraction unit:
 Connect the chip and dust extraction unit / a
mobile all-purpose vacuum cleaner to the chip
extraction adapter nozzle (2). If needed,
connect the angled extraction adapter (3).
 Ensure that the dust extraction unit meets the
requirements stated in chapter 16. "Technical
Specifications".
 Observe the dust collector's operating
instructions as well!
8.2 Installing the workpiece clamping
device
The workpiece clamping device (11) can be
installed in two positions:
– For wide workpieces:
Insert the workpiece clamping device into the
rear drilling (35) of the table.
– For narrow workpieces:
Insert the workpiece clamping device into the
front drilling (36) of the table.
8.3 Power-supply connection
Danger! High voltage
Operate machine only on a power source meeting
the following requirements (see also chapter 16.
"Technical Specifications"):
– Mains voltage and system frequency must
conform to the voltage and frequency shown on
the machine´s rating label;
– fuse protection by a residual current operated
device (RCD) of 30 mA sensitivity;
– outlets properly installed, earthed or grounded,
and tested.
 Position power supply cable so it does not
interfere with the work and is not damaged.
 Use only rubber-jacketed extension cables with
sufficient lead cross-section (3 × 1.5 mm
 Use extension cables for outdoor areas. When
working outdoors, only use the correspondingly
marked extension cable approved for this
purpose.
 Avoid accidental start-up. Ensure that the on/off
switch is switched off when inserting the plug in
the socket.

9. Operation

 Before starting work, check to see that the
following are in proper working order.
 Assume proper operating position:
– at the front of the saw;
– in front of the saw;
– next to the line of cut.
Danger!
If possible, fix the workpiece using the workpiece
clamping device (11).
Danger of crushing!
When inclining or swivelling the saw head, never
reach into the hinge area or below the device!
 Hold the saw head during inclination.
 Use during work:
– workpiece support – for long workpieces, if
otherwise workpiece would fall off the table
after cutting;
– Chip and dust extraction unit.
 Cut only workpieces of dimensions that allow for
safe and secure holding while cutting.
 Always hold the workpiece down on the table
and do not jam it. Do not attempt to stop the saw
blade by pushing the workpiece against its side.
Risk of personal injury if the saw blade is
blocked.
9.1 Straight cuts
Starting position:
– Transport lock (16) pulled out.
– Saw head swivelled upwards.
– Cutting depth limitation (48) deactivated.
– Turntable is in 0° position, locking button (22)
for turntable is tightened.
– The inclination of the swivel arm to the vertical is
0°, locking lever (14) for inclined position is
tightened.
– Pulling device at the very rear.
– Set screw (18) of the pulling device has been
loosened.
– Set workpiece stop (30):
Release locking screw (31). Slide the movable
workpiece stop (30) (upper and lower part)
such that it supports the workpiece as well as
possible without touching the blade or the
protective cover. Fasten with locking screw
(31).
Cutting the workpiece:
1. Push the workpiece against the parallel guide/
ripping fence and clamp using the workpiece
clamping device (11).
2. For wider workpieces: pull the saw head
forwards (towards the operator) (pulling
device).
3. Activate the safety lock (29) ,press on/off
switch (27) and keep pressed.
4. Slowly lower the saw head at the handle all the
way down and, if required, push towards the
rear (away from the operator). During the
sawing process press on the workpiece just
enough for the motor speed not to lower too
much.
5. Cut the workpiece in one operation.
6. Release the on/off switch (27) and slowly let
the saw head swivel back into the upper
starting position.
9.2 Mitre cuts
2
).
Starting position:
– Transport lock (16) pulled out.
– Saw head swivelled upwards.
– Cutting depth limitation (48) deactivated.
– The inclination of the swivel arm to the vertical is
0°, locking lever (14) for inclined position is
tightened.
– Pulling device at the very rear.
– Set screw (18) of the pulling device has been
loosened.
– Set workpiece stop (30):
Release locking screw (31). Slide the movable
workpiece stop (30) (upper and lower part)
such that it supports the workpiece as well as
possible without touching the blade or the
protective cover. Fasten with locking screw
(31).
WARNING - Only for KGSV 72 Xact SYM: Align
parallel guides/ripping fences (30) flush (in one
line). (It is recommended to push the safety
catches (33) downwards to that both halves of
the table (9) / parallel guides/ripping fences (30)
lock in the 0° angular stop.)
– Push both locking levers (32) all the way
downwards.
Cutting the workpiece:
1. Loosen locking lever (22) of the turntable and
loosen safety catch (21).
2. Set the desired angle.
Note:
If the safety catch (21) is pushed upwards the
turntable locks in the 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, 45°
and 60° angle levels. If the safety catch (21) is
pushed downwards all the way, the locking
function is deactivated.
3. Tighten the locking button (22) of the
turntable.
Caution!
 In order for the mitre angle not to change during
cutting, the locking handle (22) of the turntable
has to be tightened (also in the stop positions!).
4. Cut workpiece, as described for "Straight
cuts".
9.3 Inclined cuts
Starting position:
– Transport lock (16) pulled out.
– Saw head swivelled upwards.
– Cutting depth limitation (48) deactivated.
– Turntable is in 0° position, locking button (22)
for turntable is tightened.
– Pulling device at the very rear.
– Set screw (18) of the pulling device has been
loosened.
– Set workpiece stop (30):
Release locking screw (31). Slide the movable
workpiece stop (30) (upper and lower part)
such that it supports the workpiece as well as
possible without touching the blade or the
protective cover. Fasten with locking screw
(31).
For certain angle positions, it may be necessary
to remove the right-hand, movable upper part of
the workpiece stop (30) entirely, after loosening
the lock screw (31). Retighten locking screw
(31). (After the saw cut, reattach the upper part
and fasten with locking screw (31) so that it is
not lost.)
Cutting the workpiece:
1. Loosen the locking lever (14) for the
inclination setting of the saw.
2. Slowly tilt the swivel arm into the desired
position.
Pull the latch lever (12) in direction of the
operator side = infinite adjustment of the
swivel arm.
Push the latch lever (12) in direction of the
rear side = lock swivel arm in stop positions.
Note:
The swivel arm locks at the angle levels of 0°,
22.5° and 33.9°.
3. Tighten the locking lever (14) for the
inclination setting.
Caution!
 In order for the mitre angle not to change during
cutting, the locking lever of the turntable has to
be tightened (also in the stop positions!).
4. Cut the workpiece, as described for "Straight
cuts".
9.4 Double mitre cuts
Note:
The double mitre cut is a combination of mitre cut
and inclined cut. This means, the workpiece is cut
at an angle to the rear contact edge and at an
angle to the top.
Starting position:
– Transport lock (16) pulled out.
– Saw head swivelled upwards.
– Cutting depth limitation (48) deactivated.
