Regular cleaning of the machine, above all

the adjustment devices and the guides, is an

important safety factor.

Damaged safety devices and components

must be repaired or replaced in a recognised

specialist workshop in accordance with reg-

ulations, unless otherwise indicated in the operat-

ing manual.

Observe the following instructions:

– To ensure constant air circulation, always keep

the cooling air openings in the housing clean and

free of blockages. 

– Use an extractor on all openings of the power

tool to remove wood chips and splinters. Sawing

chips and small parts that get caught up in the

sawing channel can be gently pulled out through

the opening [12-4].

– The machine is equipped with special self-dis-

connecting carbon brushes. If they are worn, the

power is interrupted automatically and the ma-

chine comes to a standstill.

9.1

Replacing the chip deflector [12]

To ensure that dust and chips are collected

properly, you must only work if a chip deflector

is installed.

Undo the screws [12-1] on the guard, remove

the chip deflector and clamp.

Attach the clamp [12-2] to the new chip deflec-

tor.

Screw the chip deflector [12-3], along with the

clamp, onto the guard.

9.2

Replacing the tabletop insert [13]

Always replace worn tabletop inserts. Never use

the machine without tabletop inserts.

Unscrew the position marking [10-3] for the

bevel. 

Undo the screws [10-1] in the tabletop insert. 

Replace the tabletop insert [10-2] and position

marking [10-3].

Reattach the screws. 

Check that the position markings 

 lie on a

line that, at the same time, must run at a right

angle to the stop rulers. 

9.3

Cleaning/replacing the spotlight window 

(available as an accessory depending on the 

model

The spotlight SL-KS60 lights up the cutting edge on

the workpiece. Dust-intensive work may affect the

power of the light. Proceed as follows to clean the

spotlight [13]:

Move the machine into the working position. 

Pull out the spotlight window [10-4] by hand,

and clean/replace it.

Reinsert the spotlight window.

Accessories

The order numbers of the accessories and tools can

be found in the Festool catalogue or on the Internet

under "www.festool.com".

In addition to the accessories described, Festool

also provides a comprehensive range of system ac-

cessories that allow you to use your saw more ef-

fectively and in diverse applications, e.g.: 

• Trimming attachment KA-KS60

• Base frame UG-KAPEX KS 60

• Screw-in feet A-SYS-KS60

• Clamping connection for MFT SZ-KS

• Bevel  SM-KS60

• Spotlight SL-KS60

10.1 Bevel SM-KS60 (available as an accessory 

depending on the model) 

The bevel can be used to gauge any angle (e.g. be-

tween two walls). The bevel therefore forms the an-

gle bisection.

Gauging the interior angle [14A]

Open the locking device [14-2].

WARNING

Risk of injury, electric shock

Always disconnect the mains plug from the

socket before performing maintenance work on

the machine!

All maintenance and repair work which requires

the motor housing to be opened must only be

carried out by an authorised service workshop.
