Commissioning

6.1 Initial operation
CAUTION
Unauthorised voltage or frequency!
Risk of accident
XObserve the specifications on the machine's
name plate.
XObserve country-specific regulations.
Ensure that the power tool is securely
positioned. Risk of tipping over. If required,
observe the assembly instructions for the
MFT multifunction table or base frame
UG-KAPEX KS60.

device .
XSet up the machine and move it into the working
position.
6.2 Setting up and securing [5]
Pull out the mains plug before you carry
out any work on the machine.
Before securing, if required, install the A-SYS-
KS60 support legs (optional accessory). Thanks to
these support legs, the work surface on the rotary
base is at the same height as a Systainer 1. These
Systainers mean that long workpieces can then be
supported [5].
You have the following options for securing:
Secure the machine in such a way that it
cannot move when you are working on it.
Screws[5A]: Use four screws to secure the ma-
chine to the work surface. Use the holes [5A-1] at
the four support points on the saw table to do this.
Clamps[5B]: Use clamps [5B-1] to secure the
machine to the work surface. The support points
are used to reliably secure the machine while
taking the centre of gravity into consideration.
Clamping set for MFT [5C]: Use the clamping set
[5C-2] to secure the machine on the Festool MFT
3 or MFT/Kapex (SZ-KS) multifunction table. The
hexagonal holes [5C-1] close to the table extension
on both sides are used for this.
Base frame UG-KAPEX KS 60 [5D]: Observe the
installation instructions that are enclosed with the
base frame.
6.3 Transport
CAUTION
Risk of crushing
The saw unit may swing out/extend
XThe machine must always be transported in
the transport position that has been provided
for this purpose.
Risk of injury! The machine may slip out of
your hands when you are carrying it. Always
carry the machine with both hands, using
the carrying handles [6] provided.
