6. Before putting the machine into
operation
The machine must be firmly mounted in working
position, e.g. on a workbench, the base frame
supplied with the machine, or similar.
All the covers and safety devices have to be
properly fitted before the machine is switched on.
It must be possible for the saw blade to run
freely.
When working with wood that has been
processed before, watch out for foreign bodies
such as nails or screws etc.
Before you actuate the On/Off switch, make sure
that the saw blade is correctly fitted and that the
machine's moving parts run smoothly.
Before you connect the machine to the power
supply, make sure the data on the rating plate is
the same as that for your mains.
7. Assembly
7.1 Setting up the saw unit (Fig. 1/2)
To adjust the turntable (8), loosen the locking
handle (10) by approx. 2 turns, which frees the
turntable (8).
Turn the turntable (8) and scale pointer (11) to
the desired angular setting on the dial (12) and
lock into place with the locking handle (10).
Lightly press the machine head (4) down while at
the same time pulling the retaining pin (16) out
from the motor mounting; this causes the saw to
move down to the lower working position.
Swing the machine head (4) up until the retaining
hook latches into place.
The clamping device (19) and the workpiece
support (20) can be fastened on both the right
and left sides of the base plate (9).
By loosening the tightening screw (13), the
machine head (4) can be angled to the left up to
45°.
7.2 Making 90° crosscuts with turntable at 0°
(Fig. 3)
For cutting widths up to 100 mm it is possible to fix
the saw's drag function with the knurled screw (14) in
rear position. If the cutting width exceeds 100 mm
you must ensure that the knurled screw (14) is
slackened and that the machine head (4) can be
moved.
Bring the machine head (4) to its upper position.
Push the machine head (4) back by its handle (2)
and affix in this position if necessary (depending
on the cutting width).
Place the piece of wood to be cut against the
stop rail (7) and on the turntable (8).
Secure the workpiece in position with the
clamping device (19) on the base plate (9) to
11.08.2006 9:10 Uhr Seite 15
prevent the workpiece from moving during the
cutting process.
Turn the release lever (1) to the left to release
the machine head (4).
Push the ON/OFF switch (3) to start the motor.
Using the handle (2), push downward all the way
through the work-piece with uniform and light
pressure.
After the cutting process is finished, bring the
machine head back to its upper (home) position
and release the ON/OFF button (3).
Caution! The resetting springs in the machine
automatically raise the machine head. Do not
simply let go of the handle (2) after cutting, but
allow the machine head to slowly lift up by
applying slight counterpressure.
7.3 Precision adjustment of the stop for crosscut
90° (Fig. 4/5)
Lower the machine head (4) and fasten in place
with the safety pin (16).
Slacken the tightening screw (13).
Place the angular stop (a) between the blade (5)
and the turntable (8).
Slacken the counternut and adjust the adjustment
screw (21) until the angle between the blade (5)
and the turntable (8) equals 90°.
Retighten the counternut to secure this setting.
Finally, check the position of the angle indicator
(23).If necessary, release the pointer with a
crosstip screwdriver, move to the 0° position of
the angle scale (15) and retighten the holding
screw.
7.4 Making 90° crosscuts with turntable at 0° -
45° (Fig. 6)
With the KSZ 4300 your can make right and left
angular cuts from 0° - 45° to the stop rail.
Use the handle (2) to set the turntable (8) to the
desired angle i.e. the scale pointer (11) on the
turntable must coincide with the desired angular
setting (12) on the stationary base plate (9).
Re-tighten the locking handle (10) to lock the
turntable (8) into place.
Cut as described under section 7.2.
7.5 Mitre cuts 0°-45° and rotary table 0° (Fig. 4/7)
The KSZ 4300 can be used to make mitre cuts of 0°-
45° relative to the machine bed on the left side.
Lift the machine head (4) to its top position.
Fix the rotary table (8) in 0° position.
Undo the locking nut (13) and, holding the handle
(2), tilt the machine head (4) to the left until the
pointer (23) coincides with the required angle
dimension (15).
