Cutting Depth Limiter; Fixed Horizontal Position; Switching On The Laser; Operation - Festool KAPEX KS 120 Guide D'utilisation

– Slide the saw unit back until the metal bracket
(16.1) 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 (16.2) and pull the saw
unit forwards. The metal bracket (16.1) unhooks
itself and the lever (16.3) 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.
– Move the machine to working position.
– Move the cutting depth limiter lever (17.1) 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 (17.2) to clamp the saw unit
in any position along the guide rod (17.3).

Switching on the laser

The machine has two lasers which the mark the
kerf on the right and left of the saw blade, allow-
ing you to align the workpiece on both sides (left
or right side of the saw blade or kerf).
18.1
– Press the button (18.1) to switch the lasers on
and off. If the machine is not used for 30 minutes,
the laser switches off automatically and must be
restarted if needed again.

safety rules below:
• Always use the workpiece clamp to secure work-
pieces. The holding rod (19A.2) must be positioned
securely on the workpiece. (Note: auxiliary tools
may be needed depending on the contour of the
workpiece, e.g. curved contours).
• Never machine workpieces that are to small to
clamp properly.
• Make sure that the saw blade cannot pull the
workpiece backwards into the gap between the
saw blade and the stop ruler. Users are at par-
ticular risk when performing horizontal mitre
cuts.
