Intended use

The electric power tool is a stationary unit designed
for sawing blocks of wood, plastic, aluminium
profi les and similar materials.
Do not process other materials, in particular steel,
concrete and mineral materials.
The electric power tool is designed and approved
for use by trained persons or specialists only.
The user shall be responsible and
liable for damages and accidents resulting from
misuse or abuse of this tool.

If an extension cable is required, it must have a
suffi cient cross-section so as to prevent an exces-
sive drop in voltage or overheating. An excessive
drop in voltage reduces the output and can lead
to failure of the motor. The table shows you the
correct cable diameter as a function of the cable
length for the KAPEX.
Use only U.L. and CSA listed extension cables.
Never use two extension cables together. Instead,
use one long one.
