Working With The Power Tool - Festool KAPEX KS 120 REB Original Instruction Manual

7.10 Cutting depth limiter
The continuously adjustable cutting depth limit­
er can be used to set the vertical swivelling
range of the saw unit. Doing this enables work­
pieces to be grooved or faced.
Be aware of the limited grooving
range: Continuous adjustment is only
possible within the range 0 to 45 mm.
The possible length of the groove is
also limited. E.g.: At a groove depth of
48 mm and a workpiece thickness of
88 mm, this range lies between 40
and 270 mm.
► Move the machine into the working position.
► Swivel the lever for the cutting depth limit­
er [16.1] downwards until it clicks into
place. The saw unit can now be swivelled
down only as far as the preset cutting
depth.
► Set the cutting depth you would like by turn­
ing the cutting depth limiter lever.
► To deactivate the cutting depth limiter,
swivel the cutting depth limiter lever back
up again.
7.11 Fixed horizontal position
You can clamp the saw unit in place in any posi­
tion you want along the guide rods [16.3] using
the rotary knob [16.2].
7.12 Switching on the laser (KS 120 REB
only)
The machine has two lasers which mark the
kerf to the left and right of the saw blade. You
can use them to align the workpiece on both
sides (left or right side of the saw blade/kerf).
► Press the button [2.1] to switch the laser on
or off. If the machine is not in use for 30 mi­
nutes, the laser will automatically switch it­
self off and must be switched on again.

Working with the power tool

WARNING
Flying tool parts/workpiece parts
Risk of injury
► Wear protective goggles.
► Ensure that no other persons are close to
the machine while it is being used.
► Always clamp workpieces tightly.
► The clamps must be fully laid out.
WARNING
The pendulum guard does not close
Risk of injury
► Stop the sawing process.
► Unplug the mains cable and remove the
wood waste. If the pendulum guard is dam­
aged, replace it.
WARNING
Risk of injury
► Observe the following instructions:
– Correct working position:
– At the front on the side of the operator;
– Head-on to the saw;
– Beside the line of cut.
– During operation, always hold the power
tool tightly by the handle [1.1] in your oper­
ating hand. Always keep your free hand
outside of the hazardous area.
– Always use and fix extension table [1.8]
during operation (see chapter
– Only guide the power tool towards the
workpiece when it is switched on.
– Adjust the feed speed in order to prevent
the machine from overloading and to pre­
vent the plastic from melting if you are cut­
ting plastics.
– Do not work on the power tool if its elec­
tronics are defective as this may lead to ex­
cessive speeds. Defective electronics mean
that there is no smooth start-up and the
speed regulation fails.
– Before beginning work, ensure that the saw
blade cannot touch the stop rulers, work­
piece clamp, fastening clamps or other ma­
chine parts.
Always disconnect the mains plug
from the socket when the power tool
is not in use. This optimises the serv­
ice life of the electronics.
