Mobility, versatility and best results – perfectly combined.
The new KAPEX KS 60 dispenses with everything not needed for the job – such as every unnecessary gram of weight. With impressive features such as ergonomically positioned carrying handles, cord holder and transport safety device and an extremely compact design thanks to flush-mounted guide rods, this device makes no compromises in terms of precision and versatility – with a mitre angle on both sides of up to 60 degrees and an inclination angle on both sides of up to 46 or 47 degrees. The Festool twin-column guide with two bearings ensures that the saw blade is guided reliably and smoothly. A range of other clever details such as the LED spotlight, the pull-out extension table, the additional groove function and the bevel help to make the KAPEX KS 60 a perfect combination of mobility, versatility and optimum results.

Pro Tips
- Use the correct Festool saw blade for the material being cut to improve finish quality and reduce tear-out.
- Connect a suitable Festool dust extractor to keep the cut line clearer and reduce dust on indoor installation jobs.
- Support long workpieces properly with additional supports, an underframe or trimming attachments to prevent material dipping during the cut.
- Use the cutting depth limiter for controlled groove cuts and partial-depth applications.
- For skirting and cornice work, consider adding the SM-KS bevel accessory for faster angle transfer.
- Keep the supplied hex key in its storage position so blade changes are quicker and less frustrating on site.

- Position the workpiece firmly against the fence and use the extension table or extra support for longer material.
- Clamp or support the workpiece properly before cutting.
- Start the saw and allow the blade to reach the selected speed before entering the material.
