Festool KS 120 Saw User Manual


 
Setting the Bevel Angle
A beveled cut is where the saw head is tilted to the left or
right from vertical. The Kapex saw is capable of beveling
up to 47° to the left and right.
The bevel range selector engages a series of angle stops.
The selector has three settings. The first setting, (0-45°)
limits the bevel travel between 0 degrees and 45 degrees
to the left. The second setting (±45°) limits the bevel
travel between 45 degrees to the left and 45 degrees to
the right. The last setting (±47°) limits the bevel travel to
the full extent of the saw, which is 47 degrees to the left
and to the right.
NOTICE: These settings are not hard-limits, and
turning the bevel adjustment knob into one of the
limit settings will cause the spring loaded limit to
be bypassed. However, it should be noted that
doing so can cause premature wear to the bevel
limits.
1. Release the bevel lock by lifting the lever.
2. As necessary, turn the bevel range selector to the
desired range.
3. Rotate the bevel adjustment knob until the bevel index
pointer is pointing to the desired angle. (There is a
duplicate pointer on either side of the saw.)
4. Lower the bevel lock lever.
Using the Auxiliary Fence
The auxiliary fence provides support for taller workpieces.
The two halves of the fence can be slid toward or away
from the blade, or removed completely. Performing
beveled cuts requires the auxiliary fence to be moved
away from the blade area.
To move the auxiliary fence, lift the locking lever, slide
the fence, then lower the locking lever.
To remove the auxiliary fence, lower the limit screw by
turning it clockwise, then slide the fence out of the
retaining slot.
