Dust Extraction; Horizontal Mitre Angles - Festool KAPEX KS 120 Manual De Instrucciones

• Actuate the spindle lock (7.2) only after
the saw blade has come to rest.
• The saw blade becomes very hot during
operation; do not touch it before it has
cooled down.
• Always wear protective gloves during tool

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°
anticlockwise.

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, especially 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
recommended 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 defl ector 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.
7.6 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 side-
ways.
–After inserting the stop ruler again, un-
screw 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° mitre cuts.
• The auxiliary stops should not affect the
function of the protective covers.
7.7

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.
