Horizontal Mitre Angles; Cutting Depth Limiter; Fixed Horizontal Position - Festool KAPEX Serie Manual De Instrucciones

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 be-
tween 50° (on the left) and 60° (on the
right). Alternatively, you can use the stand-
ard preset mitre angles.
The arrow on the pointer (13.2) indicates
the current 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 degree. 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.
– Turn the saw base to the desired mitre
angle.
– Release the stop lever. The stop lever must
latch into place.
– Push the clamp lever downwards.
Other horizontal mitre angles
– Move the machine to working position.
– Pull the clamp lever (13.5) upwards.
– Push the stop lever (13.4) downwards.
– Turn the saw base to the desired mitre
angle.
– Push the clamp lever downwards.
– Release the stop lever.
7.8 Vertical mitre angles
– Move the machine to working position.
– Open the clamping lever (14.1).
– Turn the selector switch (14.2) to the de-
sired setting range (0° - 45°, +/-45°, or
+/-47°).
– Swivel the saw unit until the pointer (14.3)
indicates the desired mitre angle. KS 120
EB only: You can adjust the vertical mitre
angle more accurately using the fi ne ad-
justment rotary handle (14.4).
– Close the clamping lever (14.1).
7.9 Special cutting position (KS 120
EB only)
Apart from the standard position for cutting
or trimming boards/panels, the machine also
has a special cutting position for trimming
strip material up to 120 mm in height.
– Pull the saw unit forwards.
– Push the lever (15.3) down.
– Slide the saw unit back until the metal
bracket (15.1) hooks into the rear opening
on the saw unit.
– In this position, you can trim strip material
up to 120 mm in height against the fence.
The guiding function and the vertical swivel
function on the circular cross-cut saw are
deactivated however.
– To move the machine back to its normal
position, push the release lever (15.2)
and pull the saw unit forwards. The metal
bracket (15.1) unhooks itself and the lever
(15.3) moves back.

Cutting depth limiter

The vertical swivelling range of the saw unit
can be adjusted via the stepless cutting
depth limiter, allowing you to groove or form
workpieces.
Note that the grooved section is limited:
Infi nitely variable adjustments are only
possible between 0 and 45 mm. The
maximum possible length of the groove
is also limited. Example: with a cutting
depth of 48 mm and a workpiece thick-
ness of 88 mm, this range is between
40 and 270 mm.
– Move the machine to working position.
– Move the cutting depth limiter lever (16.1)
down until it slots into position. The saw
unit can now be moved down only as far
as the preset cutting depth.
– Turn the lever for the cutting depth limiter
to set the required cutting depth.
– To deactivate the cutting depth limiter, move
the cutting depth limiter lever up again.

Fixed horizontal position

Turn the rotary knob (16.2) to clamp the
saw unit in any position along the guide rod
(16.3).
7.12 Switching on the laser (KS 120
EB only)
The machine has two lasers which the mark
the kerf on the right and left of the saw
blade, allowing you to align the workpiece
