Service And Maintenance; Adjusting The Laser - Festool KAPEX KS 120 Manual De Instrucciones

– Slide the aluminium profi le (21.3) on both legs
forwards.
– Place the bevel with the two legs (21.3) against
exterior sides of the corner.
– Close the clamp (21.4).
– Slide back the aluminium profi le on both legs.
– Place the bevel with one leg on a stop ruler at-
tached to the circular cross-cut saw.
– To set the dissecting angle (horizontal mitre
angle), swivel the saw unit until the laser beam
is congruent with the line (21.5) on the bevel.

Service and maintenance

Always pull the plug out of the
socket before performing any type of work on the
machine!
All maintenance and repair work
which requires the motor housing to be opened,
must only be carried out by an authorised service
workshop.
To ensure constant air circulation, always keep the
cooling-air openings in the motor housing clean
and free of blockages.
The machine is equipped with self-disconnecting
special carbon brushes. If they are worn, power is
interrupted automatically and the machine comes
to a standstill.

Adjusting the laser

If the laser beams do not line up with the cutting
edge, you can adjust both of the lasers. Use an
Allen key screwdriver (size 2.5) to do this.

Note:
The laser beam factory settings are correct. Only
turn the adjusting screws when indicated.
– Place a test workpiece on the machine to check
the laser.
– Cut a groove in the workpiece.
– Swivel the saw head upwards and check the
setting.
Laser beam is not visible
First check whether the laser is switched on. If not,
press the button (2.1) to switch on the laser.
Identify which laser beam is not visible.
– Turn the adjusting screws for the left (22.2) and
right (22.4) laser until the laser beam shines on
the workpiece.
– As described, fi rst (a) adjust the laser beam so
it is parallel with the scribe line, then (b) adjust
the inclination angle and fi nally (c) adjust the
axial displacement of the laser beam.
a) Laser beam is not parallel with the scribe line
[Fig. 22A]
Adjust until parallel.

b) Laser beam strays off line when workpiece
trimmed towards the left or right [Fig. 22B]
Adjust the inclination angle until the laser beam
no longer strays off line when workpieces are
trimmed.
