• Do not apply lateral force to the saw
blade.
• Always saw only one workpiece at a time.
It is not possible to safely secure several
workpieces; they can displace each other
during sawing and block the saw blade.
• If the saw blade is blocked, switch the ma-
chine off immediately and disconnect the
mains plug. Do not remove the jammed
workpiece until you have done this.
5.3 Emission levels
Levels determined in accordance with EN
61029 are typically:
Sound pressure level 88 dB(A)
Noise level 101 dB(A)
Measuring uncertainty allowance K = 3 dB
Wear ear protection.
Measured acceleration < 2.5 m/s²
The emission values specifi ed (vibration,
noise) were measured in accordance with
the test conditions stipulated in EN 61029
and are intended for machine comparisons.
They are also used for making preliminary
estimates regarding vibration and noise loads
during operation. The emission values speci-
fi ed refer to the main applications for which
the power tool is used. If the electric power
tool is used for other applications, with other
tools or is not maintained suffi ciently prior to
operation, however, the vibration and noise
load may be higher when the tool is used.
Take into account any machine idling times
and downtimes to estimate these values
more accurately for a specifi ed time period.
This may signifi cantly reduce the load during
the machine operating period.
6 Commissioning
Warning
• Observe the mains voltage: The voltage
and frequency of the power source must
comply with the specifi cations on the ma-
chine's identifi cation plate.
• In North America, only Festool machines
with the voltage specifi cations 120 V/60
Hz may be used.
Prior to initial operation:
– Remove the transport safety device (4.4)
from the guide rod.
On/Off switch
– Press the on/off switch (1.2) as far as pos-
sible to unlock the saw unit and the pivot
guard.
– Press the switch-on lock (1.3).
– Press the on/off switch (1.2) all the way in
to start the machine.
– Release the on/off switch again to switch
off the machine.
7 Adjustments
Always pull the plug out of the socket
before performing any type of work
on the machine.
KS 120 EB only: Replace the laser warning
sticker (3.1) with the relevant accompanying
warning sticker in your language.
7.1 Transport
Securing the machine (transport posi-
tion)
– Press the on/off switch (4.1).
– Swivel the saw unit downwards until it
reaches the fence.
– Press the lock (4.2). The saw unit now
remains in the lower position.
– Tighten the rotary knob (4.3) to secure the
saw unit in the rear position.
– Wind up the mains cable into the cable
holder (5.5) before transporting.
– Stow away the Allen key (5.4) and the
bevel (5.3) (KS 120 EB only) in the holders
provided.
Never carry or lift the machine by the
movable pivot guard (5.1).
Carry the machine by the edge of the saw
table (5.2) and the handle (5.5) in the cable
holder.
Unlocking the machine (working posi-
tion)
– Push the saw unit down slightly and remove
the transport safety device (4.2).
– Swivel the saw unit upwards.
– Unscrew the rotary knob (4.3).
7.2 Mounting the machine
Always pull the plug out of the socket
before performing any type of work
on the machine.
Before using the machine, set up on a level,
stable work surface (e.g. Festool multifunc-
tion table MFT or a workbench).
The following assembly options are
available:
Fastening: Secure the machine on the work
surface using four screws. Use the holes (6.1)
on the four support points on the saw table.
