14 Kapex KS120 Miter Saw

Setting the Depth Limit

The depth limit is used for making partial cuts that do not

cut all the way through the workpiece, such as making

dados. When the depth limit is engaged, the sawblade’s

vertical travel is limited from going below the preset height.

The height is easily adjustable by turning the depth limit

knob. Turning the knob clockwise ¼-turn raises the

sawblade by

approximately 1

mm (0.040”), and

turning it

counterclockwise

lowers the

sawblade.

To engage the

depth limit, pull the

knob forward. To

disengage the

depth limit, push

the knob back.

Using the Tall Miter Latch

The tall miter latch is used for cutting boards in the vertical

position, such as mitering baseboard material. In this

cutting position, the height of the cut is maximized. The

miter latch holds the saw head slightly forward from its

normal position, and also increases the maximum depth

that the saw can plunge downward.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury from loss

of control, never cut tall boards without the

auxiliary fence installed. The workpiece can tip if

not properly supported.

Note: The bevel position must be at zero degrees

before you can engage the tall miter latch. The

latch will not engage if the saw head is tilted.

Engaging the Tall Miter Latch

1. Pull the saw head away from the fence.

2. While holding the latch lever down, push the saw head

back toward the fence until the tall miter latch locks

into the back of the saw head.

Releasing the Tall Miter Latch

While pressing down on the release lever (see previous

image), pull the saw head away from the fence. The tall

miter latch will spring to the vertical position when it

releases.

Cutting the Workpiece

Stand the workpiece up against the fence and plunge the

saw head down into the cut.
