Dust Extraction; Workpiece Fence; Horizontal Mitre Angles - Festool KAPEX KS 120 EB Manual De Instrucciones Original/Lista De Piezas De Repuesto

• Actuate the spindle lock (7.2) only after the saw
blade has come to rest.
• The saw blade becomes very hot during opera-
tion; do not touch it before it has cooled down.
• Always wear protective gloves during tool
change due to the risk of injury from the sharp
tool cutters.
Removing saw blades
– Move the machine to working position.
– Push in the spindle lock (7.2) and turn 90° clock-
wise.
– Unscrew the screw (7.8) completely using the
Allen key (7.9) (left-handed thread).
– Press the on/off switch (7.3) to unlock the pivot
guard.
– Open the pivot guard (7.4) completely.
– Remove the clamping fl ange (7.7) and the saw
blade.
Installing saw blades
– Clean all parts before installing them (saw blade,
fl anges, screw).
– Place the saw blade on the tool spindle (7.5).
Ensure that the directions of rotation of
the saw blade (7.6) and machine (7.1)
correspond.
– Secure the saw blade with the fl ange (7.7) and
the screw (7.8).
– Tighten the screw (7.8) (left-handed thread).
– Push in the spindle lock (7.2) and turn 90° anti-
clockwise.
7.4 Inserting workpiece clamps
– Insert the workpiece clamp (8.1) in one of the
two holes (8.2). The clamping fi xture must face
forwards.
– Turn the workpiece clamp until the clamping
fi xture is facing forwards.

Dust extraction

Harmful/toxic dusts can be produced during your
work (e.g. lead-containing paint, some types of
wood and metal). Contact with these dusts, espe-
cially inhaling them, can represent a hazard for
operating personnel or persons in the vicinity.
• Comply with the safety regulations that apply in
your country.
• Connect the electric power tool to a suitable
extraction system.
• To protect your health, wear a P2 protective
mask.
A Festool dust extractor with an extractor hose
diameter of 36 mm or 27 mm (36 mm recom-
mended due to the reduced risk of clogging) can
be connected to the extractor connector (9.1)
The fl exible chip defl ector (9.2) improves dust and
chip collection. Always work with a chip defl ector
fi tted.
The chip deflector is attached directly to the
protective cover via the bracket (10.1). The hooks
(10.2) on the bracket must slot into the recesses
(10.3) on the protective cover.

Workpiece fence

Adjusting the stop ruler
When making mitre cuts, adjust the stop rulers
(11.1) so that they do not impede the pivot guard
or come into contact with the saw blade.
– Open the clamping lever (11.2).
– Slide the stop ruler until the shortest distance
from the saw blade is max. 4.5 mm.
– Close the clamping lever again.
Removing the stop ruler
For certain mitre cuts, one of the stop rulers may
need to be removed otherwise it will collide with
the saw unit.
– Turn the screw (11.3) as far as possible into the
threaded hole (downwards).
– You can now slide out the stop ruler sideways.
– After inserting the stop ruler again, unscrew the
screw three turns.
Auxiliary stop
You can insert an auxiliary stop made from wood
(12.2) into the holes (12.1) on each stop ruler to
enlarge the fence surface. This will allow you to
position larger workpieces more securely.
Remember the following:
• The screws for securing the auxiliary stops must
not protrude above the surface.
• The auxiliary stops should be used only for 0°
cuts.
• The auxiliary stops should not affect the function
of the protective covers.

Horizontal mitre angles

You can set any horizontal mitre angle between 50°
(on the left) and 60° (on the right). Alternatively,
you can use the standard preset mitre angles.
The arrow on the pointer (13.2) indicates the cur-
rent horizontal mitre setting. The two marks on
the right and left of the pointer arrow allow you
to adjust the angle more accurately to half a de-
gree. The two marks must be congruent with the
straight lines on the scale.
Standard horizontal mitre angles
The following preset mitre angles are available:
left: 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, 45°
right: 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, 45°, 60°
– Move the machine to working position.
– Pull the clamp lever (13.5) upwards.
– Push the stop lever (13.4) downwards.
