Festool Kit for Kapex Compound Miter Saw

Installation

Kapex saw (Fig. 1) should be mounted on a Festool table or other support.

Illustrations show the saw used with the Festool table and accessories.

Steps

1. Use two M5x12 flathead bolts and 2 M5 T-nuts to fasten one bench mount bracket (Fig. 5) into the channel on the crown stop base extension (Fig. 2).

2. If you have a Festool guide arm, attach another bracket to the end of it (Fig. 4).

3. The SawGear support leg includes a third bracket. Make sure all brackets are approximately in line.

4. Lay SawGear across the brackets in the desired position relative to the saw.

5. Pivot SawGear, so the curled front edge of the brackets fits in the full length slot at the lower back of the measuring bar.

6. Lay SawGear flat against the surface of the brackets so the beveled back lip of the measuring bar can be secured by the knobs.

7. Turn the locking knobs to secure SawGear in the brackets. Make sure to tighten the adjustment knob on the crown stop base extension (Fig. 3) as well.

NOTE: Using the Festool crown stop base extension to support the SawGear bench mount bracket will prevent the saw from pivoting to a full 60° position. To cut angles of 60° the SawGear must be temporarily moved out from the Kapex saw.
