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)
When cutting at widths of up to 170 mm, the drag
function of the saw can be affixed to the back
position (14) with the thumb screw. If the cutting
width exceeds 170 mm, you must ensure that the
thumb screw (14) is slackened and that the machine
head (14) is able to 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
prevent the workpiece from moving during the
cutting process.
Turn the release lever (1) to the right to release
the machine head (4).
Press the ON/OFF switch (3) to start the motor.

With steady and light downward pressure on the
handle (2), cut through the workpiece.
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 90° cross-cuts and 0° rotary table (Fig. 1/2)
Press the main switch (3) to turn on the saw.
Important! The material to be sawn must be
placed flat on the machining table to that it
cannot slip during cutting.
After switching on the saw, wait for the blade (5)
to reach its maximum speed.
Turn the release button (1) clockwise and,
holding the handle (2), lower the machine head
smoothly down through the workpiece applying
slight pressure.
When the cut is completed, return the machine to
its top parking position and let go of the On/Off
switch.
Caution! A return spring causes the machine
head to rise automatically at the end of the cut.
Do not let go of the handle (2) as soon as the cut
is completed but steady the machine head and
allow it to rise slowly.
7.4 Making 90° crosscuts with turntable at 0° -
45° (Fig. 6)
With the BKG 1800 UG 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 90° cross-cuts and 0°-45° rotary table (Fig.6)
The BKG 1800 UG can be used to make angled cuts
of 0°-45° relative to the stop rail on the left and right
side.
Release the turntable (8) by loosening the locking
grip (10).
Turn the rotary table (8) by its handle (2) to the
angle you want, i.e. the mark (a) on the rotary
table has to comply with the required angle
dimension (17) on the base plate (9).
Re-tighten the locking handle (10) in order to fix
