Service And Maintenance - Festool KAPEX KS 60 E Operating Manual

The round shape of the saw blade means
that, when grooving, a slight cutting curve
upwards is required. For grooving that is
precisely horizontal, a tap block must be
clamped between the workpiece and the
stop ruler so that a clearance of 4 cm can
be guaranteed.
XMove the machine into the working position.
Only turn down the lever for the groove
depth limit [1-4] if the saw unit is in the
upper position (= working position).
XPull the lever for the groove depth limit [1-4] to
the front.
The saw unit can now be pushed down only as far
as the preset cutting depth.
XTurn the lever for the groove depth limit to set
the required depth (turn to the left = increase
the groove depth, turn to the right = decrease
the groove depth)
Push down the saw unit as a trial run to check
whether the groove depth limit is set to the required
groove depth.
Only push the saw unit down when the lever
for the groove depth limit has engaged
in one of the two end positions. Risk of
damage to the power tool.
XMake the cuts.
XTo deactivate the groove depth limit, reset the
lever [1-4].

Regular cleaning of the machine, above all
the adjustment devices and the guides, is
an important safety factor.
Damaged safety devices and components
must be repaired or replaced in a recogni-
sed specialist workshop in accordance with
regulations, unless otherwise indicated in
the operating manual.
Observe the following instructions:
– To ensure constant air circulation, always keep
the cooling air openings in the housing clean and
free of blockages.
– Use an extractor on all openings of the power
tool to remove wood chips and splinters. Sawing
chips and small parts that get caught up in the
sawing channel can be gently pulled out through
the opening [12-4].
– The machine is equipped with special self-
disconnecting carbon brushes. If they are worn,
the power is interrupted automatically and the
machine comes to a standstill.
9.1 Replacing the chip deflector [12]
To ensure that dust and chips are collected
properly, you must only work if a chip
deflector is installed.
