Festool KAPEX KS120 REB Original Instructions Manual page 33

► Press the spindle stop [7.2] and turn it anti-
clockwise by 90°.
7.3 Workpiece clamp
Fitting the workpiece clamp
► Fit the workpiece clamp [8.1] into one of the
two holes [8.2]. The clamping unit must
point towards the rear.
► Twist the workpiece clamp so that the
clamping unit faces forward.
7.4 Dust extraction
WARNING
Health hazard posed by dust
► Always work with an extractor.
► Comply with national regulations.
► Wear a dust mask.
A Festool dust extractor with an extractor hose
diameter of 36 mm or 27 mm (36 mm recom­
mended due to the reduced risk of clogging)
can be connected to the extractor connec­
tor [9.1].
The flexible chip deflector [9.2] improves the
collection of dust and chips. Therefore, never
work without a fitted chip deflector.
The chip deflector is clamped in position on the
guard with the clamp [10.1]. For this, the
hooks [10.2] of the clamp must lock into the re­
cesses [10.3] of the guard.
7.5 Adjusting the table extension
► Open the rotary knob [1.9].
► Pull out the table extension [1.8] far enough
that the workpiece is laid out fully.
► Close the rotary knob.
If, despite the table extension being exten­
ded as far as possible, the workpiece pro­
trudes over the table, the workpiece must
be supported by other means.
7.6 Workpiece stop
Adjusting the stop ruler
For mitre cuts, you must adjust the stop rul­
ers [11.1] so that they do not impede the func­
tionality of the pendulum guard or come into
contact with the saw blade.
► Open the clamping lever [11.2].
► Move the stop ruler until the shortest dis­
tance to the saw blade when working is a
maximum of 4.5 mm.
► Close the clamping lever again.
Removing the stop ruler
A stop ruler may need to be removed for some
mitre cuts, since it may otherwise collide with
the saw unit.
► Insert the screw [11.3] into the threaded
hole and tighten it as far as possible (down­
wards).
► You will then be able to pull out the stop
ruler sideways.
► Loosen the screw again by three rotations
once you have reinserted the stop ruler.
Auxiliary stop
To increase the stop area, you can install an
auxiliary stop made of wood [12.2] in the
holes [12.1] in each of the two stop rulers. This
allows you to set up larger workpieces more
securely.
In doing this, be aware of the following:
– The screws you use to secure the auxiliary
stops must not protrude from the surface.
– The auxiliary stops must only be used for 0°
cuts.
– The auxiliary stops must not impede the
functionality of the guards.
7.7 Horizontal mitre angle
The horizontal mitre angle can be continuously
adjusted between 50° (left side) and 60° (right
side). In addition, there are snap-in positions
for common mitre angles.
The arrow of the indicator [13.2] points to the
set horizontal mitre angle. The two markings on
the right and left of the indicator arrow enable
precise setting of half-degree angles. For this
to work, both of these markings must line up
with the degree dashes on the scale.
Standard horizontal mitre angles
The following mitre angles have snap-in posi­
tions:
Left: 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, 45°
Right: 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, 45, 60°
► Move the machine into the working position.
► Pull the clamping lever [13.5] upwards.
► Press the notch lever [13.4] downwards.
► Rotate the saw table until you get to the mi­
tre angle you want.
► Release the notch lever. You must feel the
notch lever engage.
► Press the clamping lever downwards.
Optional horizontal mitre angles
► Move the machine into the working position.
► Pull the clamping lever [13.5] upwards.
► Press the notch lever [13.4] downwards.
