12 Kapex KS120 Miter Saw

Using the Hold Down Clamp

The hold down clamp fits in a socket on either the left or

right sides of the saw. To insert or remove the clamp,

rotate it to the rear to unlock it from the socket, as shown

in the first image below. To lock the clamp in its socket,

otate it to the forward position, as shown in the center

image below. To secure the workpiece, press down on the

green knob and rotate the locking handle down, as shown

in the image on the right, below. To release the clamp,

rotate the locking lever up.

Setting the Miter Angle

A mitered cut is where the saw head is rotated side-to-

side. The Kapex saw is capable of mitering 50° to the left

and 60° to the right. Positive stops are located at 0, 22½,

30, and 45 degrees. The miter gauge pointer also includes

½ degree vernier indices for accurately setting the miter

angle to half-degree values. Also refer to “Using the

MiterFast Tool

“ described on page 15.

1. Release the miter lock by lifting up on the handle.

2. Press down on the miter stop release lever, and rotate

the miter to the desired angle.

► To stop at one of the preset positive lock miter

positions, release the miter stop lever just before

reaching the angle, and the miter stop will click as it

locks into position.

► To set the miter angle to ½ degree between the

primary angles, line up the ½° vernier indices with

the adjacent angle index marks. (The example

shown to the left represents 20½°.)

3. When the desired miter angle is set, engage the miter

lock by pressing down on the miter lock lever.

Note: When setting a miter angle very close to

one of the miter stops (for example, at 45½° ),

keep holding down the miter stop release lever

until you fully engage the miter lock lever, to

prevent the miter angle from jumping to the

nearby miter stop position.
