The KS801SE and KS901SE are fitted with a unique Auto Select™ Dial (6) to set the speed and the pendulum action for various
cutting applications.
To select the optimum speed and pendulum action for the type of material being cut, rotate the dial (6) as shown in the table

Sawing
Hold the tool firmly with both hands while cutting.
The shoe plate (4) should be held firmly against the material
being cut. This will help prevent the saw from jumping, reduce
vibration and minimise blade breakage.
u
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
the cut.
u
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
the cut.
Hints for optimum use
Straight Assist Blade
When you require a straight cut with extra precision, use the
straight assist blade. The KS901
SE/PE
is supplied with this
blade as
standard and it can be purchased as an optional extra
for use
with the KS801
SE
(part number X21001-XJ).
Anti-Splinter Guard (fig. G
- KS901SE only)
To minimise splintering, use the anti-splinter guard supplied
with your product. This reduces the open area between the
shoe and the blade without restricting your view of the cut line.
To fit the anti-splinter guard:
u
Remove the blade (see figure A).
u
Line up the anti-splinter guard (13) with the shoe plate (4)
from underneath.
u
Press down onto the shoe plate until the guard clicks in
place.
u
Replace the blade.
Sawing laminates
When cutting laminates, splintering may occur which can
damage the presentation surface. The most common saw
blades cut on the upward stroke, therefore if the shoe plate is
sitting on the presentation surface either use a saw blade that
cuts on the downward stroke or:
