Emission Levels; Commissioning; Adjustments; Mounting The Machine - Festool Kapex KS 120 Instrucciones De Servicio

• To minimise the release of dust, the machine should be
connected to a suitable extraction unit. All dust extraction
elements (exhaust hoods etc.) must be properly set.
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment: ear pro-
tection to reduce the risk of hearing loss; safety gogg-
les; a dust mask to prevent inhalation of harmful dust;
protective gloves when working with raw materials and
when changing tools.
• Only transport the tool in suitable packaging.
Maintenance and repair
• Replace a tabletop insert if worn.
• Only use the machine if all protection devices are in their
correct positions, the machine is in good condition and
has been well maintained.
• Faults on the machine, including the separating guards or
the tool, must be reported to maintenance staff imme-
diately upon discovery. The machine must not be used
until the fault has been eliminated.
• If the machine is equipped with a laser, ensure it is always
replaced by a laser of the same type. Repairs must only
be made by the laser manufacturer or an authorised
agent.
Safe work
• Only process material for which the machine has been
approved.
• Never process material containing asbestos.
• Ensure that the fl oor around the machine is level, clean
and free of loose objects (e.g. chips and offcuts).
• Keep hands, fi ngers and arms well away from the rotating
tool. Never reach into the area of the saw blade behind
the stop.
• Do not remove offcuts or other workpiece parts from the
cutting area while the machine is still running or before
the saw blade stops.
• Use a suitable device to support long workpieces and
ensure that they are horizontal.
• Never allow another person to hold or support the work-
piece when sawing. Always clamp the workpiece in a
suitable device.
• Observe the specifi ed maximum workpiece dimensi-
ons.
• Observe the instructions for lifting and transporting the
machine.
• Observe the instructions for installing and operating the
machine.
• Ensure the permissible dimensions of the saw blade are
not exceeded. Never use reducers or adapters to secure
the saw blade on the tool spindle.
• Do not saw wood containing metal parts such as nails,
screws, etc.
• 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 machine off im-
mediately and disconnect the mains plug. Do not remove
the jammed workpiece until you have done this.
