ASSEMBLING AND ADJUSTMENTS
Blade guard
The guard for the cutting equipment should be adjusted
so that the rear section is flush with the work piece.
Spatter and sparks from the material being cut are then
collected up by the guard and led away from the user.
The blade guard is friction locked.
• Press the ends of the guard against the work piece or
adjust the guard with the adjustment handle. The
guard must always be fitted on the machine.
Reversible cutting head (K 1270)
The machine is fitted with a reversible cutting head
allowing cutting close to a wall or at ground level,
restricted only by the thickness of the blade guard.
In the event of a kickback it is harder to control the
machine when cutting with the cutting head reversed. The
cutting blade is further away for the centre of the machine
which means the handle and the cutting blade are no
longer in alignment. It is more difficult to restrain the
machine if the blade gets jammed or stuck in its kickback
danger zone. See under the "Kickback" heading in the
"Operating" section for additional information.
Some of the machine's good ergonomic features are
jeopardised such as balance. Cutting with the cutting
head reversed should only occur with cuts that are not
possible in a standard manner.
• First release the two bolts and then the adjuster screw
to release the belt tension.
• Now unscrew the bolts and dismantle the belt guard.
