Replacing the saw blade
Before changing the saw blade, pull out the mains
plug.
1. Open the sliding door 2 (Fig.3) with the hexagon key.
2. Insert 2 mm hexagon key 1 into the base plate and block the
drive shaft.
3. Using the 3 mm hexagon key 5 (Fig. 4) unscrew screw 4,
remove ring 3 and saw blade 2.
4. Place the new saw blade on the saw shaft 1, replace ring 3,
screw in screw 4 and tighten.
The choice of the saw blade will depend on the material to be
sawed.
Connecting the vacuum cleaner
For longer periods of operation, we recommend connec-ting the
saw to a vacuum cleaner. To this end, connect the vacuum cleaner
at the pipe union 10 (Fig. 1) using the attached rubber adapter.
Working with the MICRO-circular saw
Always operate the saw from the position as shown in Fig. 2a so
that you are always in optimal control of the work piece. Stand in
front of the saw while sawing! Never saw with your KS 230 from
the side or even from the back. Ensure sufficient stability while
you work!
Sawing with the longitudinal stop
1. Release the clamping screw 1 (Fig. 5), set stop and again
retighten the clamping screw (the max. work piece width
amounts to 70 mm).
Sawing with the angle stop
1. Release the clamping screw 1 (Fig. 6), set the angles according
to the scale and retighten the clamping screw. Then push the
work piece lightly against the stop and guide the stop along
groove 2.
Maintenance, cleaning and care
Disconnect the mains plug prior to every adjustment, mainte-
nance measure or repair!
Every device is dirtied by dust when working. Cleaning is therefore
essential. To ensure a long service life, however, the machine
should be cleaned with a soft cloth or brush after each use.
Mild soap or other suitable cleaning agent may be used in this con-
text. Solvents or cleaning agents containing alcohol (e.g. petrol,
cleaning alcohols, etc.) should be avoided, since these can attack
plastic casings.
