2 Set-up
When setting up the attachment, proceed in
the sequence specifi ed.
Important: you will require a crown moulding stop (AB-KS 120) to make the connection to the KS 120.
Refer to Figure 1 for the arrangement and
positioning of the individual parts.
Fig. 1 shows a rear view of the trimming
attachment.
The following section describes how to attach
the right trimming attachment. Use the
same procedure to attach the left trimming
attachment! Fig. 2 shows the stop mounted
on both sides!

the required length.
– Unscrew the rotary knob (1.11) on the
adjustable spacer.
– Move the stop profi le (1.1) and the spacer
(1.6) approx. 3.1 in. apart.

3 Adjustments
3.1 Tape measure
The tape measure starts at 11.81 in./
30 cm so that it does not come into contact with the saw blade. Therefore, make
sure that the distance between the tape
measure and the saw blade is correct:
– Unscrew the rotary knob (9.1) that clamps
the support.
– Insert the slot nut (9.3) into the top slot

– Set both the horizontal and vertical mitre
angles on the KS 120 to 0°.
– Place a workpiece (11.4) with a length
of 18.72 in./450 mm on the KS 120
lengthways against the saw blade (11.3).
– Slide the stop fl ag (11.1) up to the workpi-
ece. Clamp the stop fl ag in this position.
– Unscrew the rotary knob for the measuring
tape clamp (11.5).
– Move the tape measure until the measure-
ment at the edge (11.2) of the stop fl ag
indicates 18.72 in./450 mm.
– Use the tape measure clamp (11.5) to se-
cure the tape measure in this position. The
tape measure now indicates the exact dis-
tance to the saw blade. The measurement
at the edge (11.2) is the distance between
the stop fl ag and the saw blade.
3.2 Length adjustment
Unscrew the rotary knob (1.12) to extend and
retract the end piece (1.7). The maximum
extension length is 90.55 in./2300 mm.
Unscrew the rotary knob (1.11) to move
the spacer.
4 Working
To trim a workpiece to a certain length, proceed as follows:
– Adjust the stop fl ag to the required dimen-
sion.
– Place the workpiece against the stop
fl ag.
– Cut through the workpiece with the
KS 120.
