4.1 Saw blade, safety rules
The following units come with the following (outer diameter) blades:
OD 600 mm for KS 600
OD 700 mm for KS 700E, KS 700Z and KS 700H
Hard metal blades are set to support a maximum speed of 2700 rpm.
Make sure to comply with this requirement.
All saw blades must be certified to EN 847-1.
Hard metal blades required accure care and maintenance. Make sure
that the blade bits do not ever hit against hard surfaces (for example
concrete floors), which might cause invisible bits damage.
Strictly use sharp blades that are free from any damage or flaw.
Do not ever use worn out blades in need of sharpening. Make sre that
the blade shows good conditions, no damages, no cracks, no buckling
and no missing/broken teeth/bits.
4.2 Mandatory application field
This cross-cut saw is designed and should be used for cutting round
firewood logs only. The manufacturer will consider any other use or
application as “misuse”,
Depending on the variant the machine cutting capacity (timber diam.)
is:
KS 600: 8 - 20 cm [3 - 8 in]
KS 700E/Z/H 8 - approx. 25 cm [3 - approx. 10 in]
PLEASE NOTE: this is a one-man operation machine ONLY.
Lack of compliance with these instructions may lead to
dangerous risks and situations and will completely void
your warranty, in which case the manufacturer will not be
responsible for customers’ claims or resulting damages and/or
injuries.

10
The model variants KS 600-230V, KS 600-400V and KS 700EWK are
ideally recommended for stationary use in your yard, whilst the models
KS 700H and KS 700Z can be conveniently used for firewood produc-
tion straight in the woods.
The models KS 600-230V, KS 600-400V and KS 700E are powered by
electronic braking force control. The electric motor must be connec-
ted to a 16-Amp EC power outlet. In case of alternated power (AC)
230V supplies please make sure to use power cords with a section of
2.5 mm2 [0.0039 in2]. These are normally available on the market as
3x2.5 cables. Power supply is controlled by means of a simple switch/
plug combination.
Make sure the length of the power cord does not exceed 10 m [32 ft].
The model KS 700H is powered from the tractor hydraulics. It supplied
with two hydraulic hoses that must be attached your tractor hydraulics
for saw operation. When attaching and connecting the hydraulic hoses,
remember: to check that they are fit properly both on machine and
tractor side;
Attach he red end of the hose to the pressure side and the blue end to
the return flow side.
If you are operating the saw a stationary machine on a yard, you may
also power it by means of any hydraulic power generator.
The KS 700H variant is additionally equipped with 3 point linkage.
A rugged all steel construction assures longest machine life to all vari-
ants at any operating condition.
Attach models KS 700Z directly to power take off on your tractor using
a PTO driveline.
Press the detent lock inward as you slide the machine shaft onto the
tractor PTO stub shaft. Slide the machine shaft forward far enough to
make sure the detent lock has snapped into the lock position.
Secure the drive shaft with the special restraining chain to avoid
dangerous twisting.
Make sure that the gearbox (Pos 1, Fig. 1) always matches the position
of the catch on the tractor and faces the direction of driveline revolu-
tion.
Once you successfully connected the saw to a tractor’s 3 point
hitch, and installed the PTO driveline, you are ready to start using it.
Strictly engage the PTO driveline, with the machine/tractor idled. First
off, locate and engage the On/Off saw switch on the left hand side of
the saw.
Then increase the speed of tractor PTO stub up to max. 420 RPM. Now,
the saw is ready for use.
To stop the saw when finished, repeat the same operation in the re-
verse order: slow tractor speed down, switch the saw off, disengage
the PTO, stop the tractor engine, and finally remove the gearbox.
Make sure to disconnect power (switch the tractor off) before perfor-
ming any work (maintenance or repairs) on the saw.
5. OPERATION

5.1 Timber carriage extensions
Before starting to operate your saw, make sure to assemble the ex-
tensions of the timber carriage (if you have a KS 600) and
the folding timber carriage (if you have a KS 700E or a KS 700H) on
the right hand side of the blade (carriage extensions are not installed
by the manufacturer to save on transportation space).
For KS 600 models, screw the carriage extensions (1, Fig. 1.1)
using 3 cap square screws.
Fit the screws from the inside face throughout the extension piece
and tighten on the outside face using washer and hex nut (Pos. 2,
Fig.1.1).
For KS 700E, KS 700Z and KS 700H
Bolt the mounting plate (Pos. 3, Fig.2) for the timber carriage to the
steel stand of the saw. Fit the 4
hex screws (and shim underneath them) throughout the plate and
tighten on the back side using a washer and a hex nut for each screw
(Pos. 4, Fig. 2).
5.2 Log-length marks
The marks on the carriage extensions as well as those on the carriage
Pos. 5, Fig. 3) are designed to check, “read” and adjust the length of
the timber pieces to be but off.
Based off of the required log length, timber will have to reach out to
one or the other marking (20cm, 25cm or 33cm) [8, 10, or 13 in].
If you need - just for example - to cut off 50 cm (29 in) long logs,
then you need to push you timber on the carriage and onto the exten-
sion all the way to the outer rim of the extension right hand side.

5.3 First saw cut
Before starting, inspect the machine for evident, visible dama-
ges and unusual conditions.
Make sure the timber carriage is in the initial position (fold
down open) and the locking lever is engaged.
Starting:
Switch the saw on.
If you have an electric version start the machine pressing the
green button of the switch (Pos. 8, Fig. 6).
After switching the machine on (all versions) make sure that the
saw blade gradually starts turning in the right direction. You should
check if the blade runs so that revolutions occur always towards the
operator’s station.
Should rotation be performed in the opposite direction, immediate-
ly stop the machine and use a phase inverter (400V motors only) to
change the plugging polarity of the conductor cable (see Fig. 4):
The plug used for powering the electric versions must be fi tted with a
no-volt release switch designed for rated current up to 30mA.
For KS 700H the control valve lever should be in
7 ON as in Pos. 9, Fig..7).
6 Load your timber on the carriage from your saw left hand side.
Advance timber on the carriage towards the opposite (right) side until
the right end of the timber matches the required log length marking
on the carriage extension.
Depending on timber hardness and diameter, it is recommendable to
clamp the timber using the special hold-down. Fasten the hold-down
grip and pull it down to clamp timber securely on the carriage through
out cutting.
To carry out the fi rst timber cut, fasten the motor carrier crank (Pos.
6, Fig. 5) with your right hand and engage (press down) the crank
handle (Pos. 7 - Fig. 5). This is to release the motor carrier. Now pull
the motor carrier smoothly to the front. When doing so avoid all jerky,
bumpy movements that could lead to risky and dangerous situations.
Caution: Avoid excessive pull force during cutting as this may
slow the blade down and lead to an undesirable jamming of
the saw blade.

As soon as the fi rst log is cut, move the motor carrier back to its ini-
tial position. Make sure to wait for complete cut of the fi rst log before
you advance timber again to the blade. This will prevent risk of inju-
ries for the operators and machine damages that are not covered by
the manufacturer’s warranty.
Strictly cut the next log when the timber has been pushed to the right
all the way to the required log length mark.
Switch the machine off when the job is done.
Stopping:
To stop an electric machine model, use the red button on the
switch (Pos. 8, Fig. 6).
The electric variants are equipped with electronic brake controller that
allows the saw blade to come to a complete stop within 10 seconds
from switching off the machine. The brake controller function permits
the blade to come to a complete stop within a max lag-time of 10 se-
conds after switching the motor off (or disconnecting power supply).
In this case, switch on the machine again to reactivate the electric
motor brake controller.Generation of a humming noise after the bla-
de has come to a complete stop is fully normal and due to motor fan
operation.
DO NOT switch the saw on, while the braking process is
in progress. Restarting during braking is not possible. Wait
approximately 1 minute before restarting the machine
after it was switched off.
The machine is designed for a max number of 10 ON/OFF cyc-
les per hour to avoid damages to electronic braking system.
After you switch the motor off, wait for the blade to come to a
complete stop before unplugging the machine.
Failure of the saw blade to completely stop within 10 minute
time, please stop using the saw immediately and have it over-
hauled!
For KS 700H the control lever (Pos. 9, FIg. 7) should be set
on OFF (=AUS in German).
The model KS 700H is also equipped with electronic brake controller.
The electronic brake controller allows the stopping of blade within max
10 seconds after switching the motor off.

5.4 Saw blade inserts
The maximum spacing between clearance inserts should never be less
than 16 mm.
If the maximum 16 mm spacing between clearance inserts (wood
strips) is reduced because of excessive wear, provide for immediate
replacement of the wooden inserts! (Fig. 8).
The wooden inserts are consumable materials. Therefore, they are not
covered by any warranty (see paragraph 6.4).

6. REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
Make sure that the machine is fully disconnected and all mo-
ving parts are secured before performing any maintenance/
repair work on the machine. Unplug the machine from the po-
wer supply before attempting any cleaning.Immediately di-
sconnect power off the machine in case of any eventual fault
or trouble.
6.1 Ordinary maintenance
Make maintenance a regular part of daily operation. The daily main-
tenance routine needs to include:
• Cleaning of the machine and clearing of all parts from residual wood
debris, chips, dust, bark pieces and eventual other waste.
• Lubrication of all moving parts.
6.2 Cleaning after use
Remove wood chips and saw dust produced and left on the machine
during work. Clean the log carriage assembly removing all wood rest
6.3 Replacing the saw blade
DANGER! BEWARE: pinched hands danger!.
Always wear tear-resistant, safety gloves while handling any cut-
ting tool. Disconnect power and prevent any accidental restart.
(Unplug the machine, disconnect the hydraulic circuit) .

16
Following instructions apply for safe and proper blade replacement:
● Disconnect the machine from the power supply (stop and unplug or switch
the tractor off and detach the machine from the tractor), and wait for the
blade to have come to a complete stop.
● Open the hood fl ap over the blade by releasing the hex screws (just undo
them a bit. Do not pull them out)
● Fit the fi xation bolt (Pos. 10, Fig. 9) in the special bushing on the steel
stand to secure the blade while undoing the screws.
● Release and undo the fi xation bolt on the blade clamping fl ange
(Pos. 11, Abb. 9).
● Remove the clamping fl ange.
● Pull the old blade off the shaft (make sure to wear tear-resistant
gloves. DANGER!)
● Fit the new blade on the shaft. Note direction of rotation. All tools must al-
ways work against the feed direction that is revolutions must occur towards
the operator’s station.
Saw blade Timber carriage (see Fig. 10 “saw blade position”). Make sure
that the saw blade fi ts tightly on the sits fi rmly on the fi xed fl ange hub!
● Mount the locking fl ange back on the blade shaft minding the right
position of the feather-key in the fl ange.
● Tighten fi xation bolt on the fl ange. BEWARE: when assembling the new
blade make sure to install the hardware in the right order, that it: saw blade,
external saw blade clamping fl ange, washer, fi xation screw.
● Remove the fi xation bolt
● Fit the blade hood in the original position and secure it by tightening all
screw
● If you have a KS 700Z: make sure to check the hydraulic oil level in the
machine before each new use, and every once in a while. Accurately avoid
contaminating the tank with dirt, wood chips, or saw dust.
Make sure that the machine never runs without oil or with a low oil level.
When this happens, air is likely to reach inside the hydraulic loop. Failure to
maintain due oil level may cause poor running and irregular saw operation
(very rough, jerky motions) as well as major pump damages. Please schedu-
le your fi rst oil change after approximately 50 operation hours and at least
once a year from then on. Always replace the oil fi lter with each completely
new oil fi ll. Recommended oil types:
DEA HD B 46, Shell Tellus 10-46, Esso Nuto H 46
Monitor your saw cut quality always. A dull saw blade will immedi-
ately turn into a poor cut quality. In this case seek professional ser-
vice to regrind. Do not regrind worn out blades yourself. Always ask
for skilled help.

7. TRANSPORTATION
These cross-cutting saws are light equipment that can be
easily moved on short-distance by means of two caster wheels and an ergono-
mic, comfortable grip handle located on the stand on the opposite side as the
timber carriage. In order to avoid infringement of the clearance area around
the machine, the grip handle can be pulled in/out.
Secure the grip handle with its linchpin (Pos. 12, Fig. 11) to prevent the handle
from accidentally sliding back in while pushing the machine away.
Simply fasten the grip (Pos. 13, Fig. 11) and lift the saw for safe and rapid
hauling of the machine. For safety reasons the grip handle should remain re-
tracted during work to avoid risk of tripping or entanglement. Just pull it out
when you need it to move /handle the machine around.
Remember to lock the carriage before attempting any even short-distance
handling of the machine. To lock the carriage fl ip it to the front and secure
it with the clevis pin (Pos. 14, Fig.12). Fit the clevis pin into the holes in the
stays of the motor carrier and through the bushing welded on the steel stand.
Use the cotters (Pos. 15, Fig. 12) to secure le clevis pins against accidental
slipping out and release.
If you have a KS700E/ Z or a KS700H fold up and secure the timber carriage.
7.1 Transporting the machine (for KS 700H only) on a three-point linkage
Attach the machine to a 3-point hitch (Pos. 13, Cat. I or II) of a tractor
(or another equivalent vehicle), and comply with the following instruc-
tions:
Should the dimensions of the machine hide any of the travel signs and
illumination systems on board of your tractor (rear/head lights, rear
travel lights, stop lights, turn indicators etc...), you must provide for
the same signs and lights on the machine is order to travel on public
roads.
The same applies for eventual other tools and ancillary equipment in-
fringing the tractor profi le by 1 meter in the back and by 40 cm on
the sides. In this latter case, side lights must be provided in the front.
Make sure to apply suitable warning sings (white/red) as per DIN Stan-
dards 11300 to warn about protruding obstacles likely to endanger the
nearby traffi c. For more updated information please consult StVO. If
transporting by attachment to a three-point hitch of a farming tractor,
make sure to provide suitable front ballast for increased steering per-
formance, if required in accordance with the tractor load chart.
Do not exceed the max transportation speed of 30 km/h.

8. DECOMMISSIONING AND DISPOSAL
When the saw is fully obsolete and cannot be of any longer use, it
should be duly dismounted ahead of discarding. Certain components
need deactivation and dismantling in order to assure that no further
use is made by other parties and that no worn out parts are recycled
for other applications.
During dismantle be alert for possible recyclable materials and compo-
nents that belong to differentiated waste collection procedures applica-
ble in your country.
The manufacturer is not liable and undertakes no responsibility for
personal injuries or damages that may result from the recycling of
worn out machine parts and eventual re-use in other applications dif-
ferent than originally stated in this manual.
Dismantling procedure:
Take good note please: each and every dismantling task must be per-
formed by authorized service centres or trained skilled staff only!
● Lock all moving parts of the mill and pull the machine
● Release all pressure out of the hydraulic hoses and drain all hydrau-
lic oil out
● Hydraulic oil is highly polluting and must be safely disposed of
● Deliver each single component only to authorized waste manage-
ment facilities
● Remove rubber and plastic parts from the machine that must be se-
parately disposed of.
Deactivated, clamped moving/driving parts and components are of no
further risk and danger.
Electric components must be separately disposed to avoid substantial
environmental threat. In the event of fire on the electric deployment
system of the machine, use of an explosion proof extinguish system is
required (for example powder fire extinguishers).

9.1 Noise emissions
Noise emissions were measured in accordance with the European di-
rectives for the measurement of noise emissions on the workplace.
The measurement was performed by external authorized certification
bodies in compliance with the applicable standards based on applica-
ble rules for agricultural and forestry equipment. The detected noise
level was.
Measurement on the machine front edge at 1600 mm height and
400mm away from the blade on the right, while processing beech
wood in the size of 80+/-5% of the admissible diameter as in the
user’s manual.
Detected noise level:
No load Full load
Saw model 700E / 700H 82 db(A) 96 db(A)
Saw model 600 82 db(A) 96 db(A)
When working with BGU wood processor, use ears protectors!
The above mentioned values are emission measurements and may not
be therefore assumed as for a safe work environment. Although there
is a relationship between noise emission and immission levels, this is
not a sufficient basis to determine the extent of on-site required pro-
tection. There are a lot of other factors that can influence site work
