Changing Tools; Installing Saw Blades; Inserting Workpiece Clamps; Dust Extraction - Festool KAPEX Serie Manual De Instrucciones

Clamps: Secure the machine on the work
surface using four clamps. The fl at surfaces
(6.2) on the four saw table support points
are used as clamping surfaces.
Clamping set (for MFT): Secure the ma-
chine on the Festool multifunction table MFT
using the clamping set (6.4, 494693). Use
the two screw holes (6.3).

Changing tools

Risk of accidents
• Always pull the mains plug out of the socket
before changing blades.
• Actuate the spindle lock (7.2) only after
the saw blade has come to rest.
• The saw blade becomes very hot during
operation; do not touch it before it has
cooled down.
• Always wear protective gloves during tool
change due to the risk of injury from the
sharp tool cutters.
Removing saw blades
– Move the machine to working position.
– Push in the spindle lock (7.2) and turn 90°
clockwise.
– Unscrew the screw (7.8) completely using
the Allen key (7.9) (left-handed thread).
– Press the on/off switch (7.3) to unlock the
pivot guard.
– Open the pivot guard (7.4) completely.
– Remove the clamping fl ange (7.7) and the
saw blade.

Installing saw blades

– Clean all parts before installing them (saw
blade, fl anges, screw).
– Place the saw blade on the tool spindle
(7.5).
Ensure that the directions of rotation
of the saw blade (7.6) and machine
(7.1) correspond.
– Secure the saw blade with the fl ange (7.7)
and the screw (7.8).
– Tighten the screw (7.8) (left-handed
thread).
– Push in the spindle lock (7.2) and turn 90°
anticlockwise.

Inserting workpiece clamps

– Insert the workpiece clamp (8.1) in one of
the two holes (8.2). The clamping fi xture
must face forwards.
– Turn the workpiece clamp until the clamp-
ing fi xture is facing forwards.

Dust extraction

Harmful/toxic dusts can be produced during
your work (e.g. lead-containing paint, some
types of wood and metal). Contact with
these dusts, especially inhaling them, can
represent a hazard for operating personnel
or persons in the vicinity.
• Comply with the safety regulations that
apply in your country.
• Connect the electric power tool to a suitable
extraction system.
• To protect your health, wear a P2 protective
mask.
A Festool dust extractor with an extractor
hose diameter of 36 mm or 27 mm (36 mm
recommended due to the reduced risk of
clogging) can be connected to the extractor
connector (9.1)
The fl exible chip defl ector (9.2) improves
dust and chip collection. Always work with
a chip defl ector fi tted.
The chip defl ector is attached directly to the
protective cover via the bracket (10.1). The
hooks (10.2) on the bracket must slot into the
recesses (10.3) on the protective cover.

Workpiece fence

Adjusting the stop ruler
When making mitre cuts, adjust the stop
rulers (11.1) so that they do not impede
the pivot guard or come into contact with
the saw blade.
– Open the clamping lever (11.2).
– Slide the stop ruler until the shortest dis-
tance from the saw blade is max. 4.5 mm.
– Close the clamping lever again.
Removing the stop ruler
For certain mitre cuts, one of the stop rulers
may need to be removed otherwise it will
collide with the saw unit.
– Turn the screw (11.3) as far as possible
into the threaded hole (downwards).
– You can now slide out the stop ruler side-
ways.
– After inserting the stop ruler again, un-
screw the screw three turns.

Auxiliary stop

You can insert an auxiliary stop made from
wood (12.2) into the holes (12.1) on each
stop ruler to enlarge the fence surface. This
will allow you to position larger workpieces
more securely.
