If You Would Like To Produce Mitre Cuts: (See Fig. 2B); Working With The Length Stop (See Fig. 4); Care And Maintenance; Replacing The Saw Blade (See Fig. 5A And 5B) - Proxxon KGS 80 Manual De Instrucciones

Caution!
Please make sure here that the saw blade 9 will never collide with
the jaws of clamping fixture 6!
Please note:
Crosscutting with the supplied length stop is no problem! How this
works is described in "Working with the Length Stop".
6. See fig. 3: After locking lever 8 has been released and the on/off
button 12 has been pressed, swivel saw head 7 down and cut the
work piece into two as shown in Fig. 3. The saw blade protection
swivels up.

7.2.2.2 If you would like to produce mitre cuts: (See fig. 2b):

1. Release knurled screw 13 and lift up stop lever 4. Now set
turntable 1 to the desired angle. Please use scale 3 and orient
yourself using arrow marking 2 on turntable 1. The 15° gradua-
tions are provided with serrations, and stop lever 4 must be re-
leased so that they can become effective. Intermediate settings
can also be set and fixed using knurled screw 13.
2. Insert work piece 5 in clamping fixture 6, align and tighten. Pay
attention to the desired length of the „free" end here as well!
3. For perfect alignment, saw head 7 of the switched off (!) device
after locking lever 8 has been unlocked (pull to the front) can be
swivelled down so far that saw blade 9 at the automatic swiv-
elled-away saw blade protection 10 just barely touches the work
piece (see also fig. 3). This enables a better estimation of the fu-
ture length of the work piece. For exact adjustment, the saw head
can be finely toggled by using knurled screw 11.
Caution!
Please make sure that the saw blade will never collide with the jaws
of clamping fixture 6!
Please note:
Crosscutting with the supplied length stop is no problem! How this
works is described in "Working with the Length Stop".
4. After block lever 8 has been released and the on/off button 12 has
been pressed, swivel saw head 7 down and cut the work piece
in two as shown in fig. 3. The saw blade protection swivels up.
Caution!
The rotational speed, and not the contact pressure, generates the
high cutting performance! Never work with force! This places an un-
necessary load on the machine mechanics and leads to bad results
and increased wear!

7.2.3 Working with the Length Stop (see fig. 4)

The KGS 80 crosscut and mitre saw is supplied with an adjustable
length stop 1. Any number of work pieces of equal length can be cut
off. Work piece 2 to be cut off is inserted in clamping fixture 3,
pushed up to the limit plate 4 and then clamped. After the work piece
has been cut off and the vice has been loosened, the material is
pushed up to the limit stop again, clamped with the vice and then
cut off. This can be repeated any number of times.
This is how to set the limit stop:
1. Allen screw 5 is released using an Allen key (included in deliv-
ery). Limit stop 1 can then be pushed in guide 6 up to the desired
length. Make sure that limit plate 4 is properly aligned and that
it hits the work piece correctly when "limit stopped"!
- 14 -
2. Clamp limit stop 1 with Allen screw 5.
If the limit stop is not required, it can be completely removed after
releasing screw 5.
The desired position of the limit stop can be determined, for exam-
ple, by appropriately marking a work piece, clamping it so that the
saw blade hits the marking exactly and then by aligning the limit stop
accordingly. This enables the exact reproduction length for the de-
sired number of the subsequent work pieces.
Caution!
After the work piece has been aligned and clamped, fold limit plate
4 away during work (see fig. 4) to prevent the separated work pieces
from jamming!

8 Care and Maintenance

8.1 Replacing the saw blade (see fig. 5a and 5b):

If the saw blade is worn or you wish to use another type or a cutting
disc, you can quickly and easily exchange them.
Please note:
Replacement saw blades and a corundum cutting disc for the ma-
chine can be obtained on the market.
Please see our device catalogue or consult your nearest dealer!
Caution!
Disconnect the mains plug for all care and maintenance works!
1. Unscrew Allen screw 1 in saw blade protection 2 and fold saw
blade protection up as shown in fig. 5a.
2. Using an Allen key, unscrew screw 4 in the centre of saw blade
3 (see fig. 5b). Hold the shaft at the flat spot with an open-end-
ed spanner, Attention: Left-handed-thread!
3. Remove old saw blade. Mind flat washer 5 here.
4. Attach new saw blade and tighten with flat washer 5 and screw 4.
Caution!
Pay close attention to the running direction of the saw blade. When
viewed from the front side of the saw, the teeth must point down-
wards!
Be careful when using the corundum cutting disc (accessories, item
no.: 28 729):
The corundum cutting disc is very sensitive to bending. Do not touch
the disc when releasing or tightening the fastening screw. The disc
breaks very easily.
5. Fold down saw blade protection 2 once more and tighten using
Allen screw 1.
Caution!
Disconnect the mains plug for all care and maintenance works!

8.2 Cleaning

Caution!
Always disconnect the mains plug before doing any cleaning, setting,
maintenance or repair works!
Note:
The machine is mostly maintenance free. For a long service life, the
device should be cleaned after every use with a soft cloth, hand
