Festool KAPEX KS 60 E Operating Manual page 35

Proceed as follows to clamp the workpiece [7]
XPush the saw unit downwards until it reaches
the limit stop.
XPull the lever for the transport locking device
[7-1].
XSlowly guide the saw unit upwards.
XPlace the workpiece so that it is flush with the
stop ruler [7-3].
XUse the clamp [7-2] to secure the workpiece in
place.
XCheck that the workpiece is securely in place.
8.2 Observe the workpiece dimensions
Maximum workpiece dimensions without exten-
sion using accessory parts
Mitre/inclination angle,
to scale
0°/0°
45°/0°
0°/45° right
0°/45° left
45°/45° right
45°/45° left
Maximum workpiece dimensions when installing
together with UG-KS60 and KA-KS60
The maximum height and width of the workpiece
do not change if accessory parts are installed. The
contact surface when installing the base frame
must be the same as the contact surface when the
table extension is extended.
Accessory part used
UG-AD-KS60
KA-KS60 (on one side)
KA-KS60 (on both sides)
Long workpieces
Provide extra support for any workpieces that
protrude over the sawing surface:
XAdjust the table extension, see section 7.4.
XIf the workpiece still protrudes, retract the table
extension and install a trimming attachment
KA-KS60 (see section 8.2), or raise the compound
mitre saw using screw-in feet A-SYS-KS60 and
Height x width x

then support the workpieces using T-LOC SYS-
MFT Systainers of Systainer size 1.
XUse additional clamps to secure the workpiece.
Thin workpieces
During sawing, thin workpieces may wobble or
break.
XReinforce the workpiece: Clamp it together with
wood offcuts.
Heavy workpieces
XTo guarantee the stability of the machine when
sawing heavy workpieces, adjust the support foot
[8-5] so that it is flush with the base.
8.3 Sawing the workpiece
Check that the pendulum guard can move
The pendulum guard must always be able
to move freely and close independently.
XPull out the mains plug.
XTake hold of the pendulum guard and, as a trial
run, slide it into the saw unit.
The pendulum guard must be easy to move and
must be almost fully lowered into the pendulum
hood.
Cleaning the area of the saw blade
XAlways keep the area around the pendulum
guard clean.
XClear dust and chippings by blowing out with
compressed air or using a brush.
Compound mitre saws
The basic function of the compound mitre saw is
to saw using a fixed saw unit with no inclination.
Recommended: Workpieces up to 70 mm in width.
The rotary knob [1-5] locks the saw unit so that it
can no longer be moved forwards or backwards.
The spotlight SL-KS60 (available as an
accessory depending on the model) casts
a shadow over the saw blade and onto the
workpiece. Use the On/Off switch [2-3]
to activate this function. The cutting line
becomes visible when the saw unit is
lowered.
Slide-sawing
When slide-sawing, the saw blade is guided to
the workpiece from the front, which means the
sawing is controlled and requires less effort.
Recommended for workpieces over 70 mm in
