Health hazard by dust

Various dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints,

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement

and other masonry products,

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-

treated lumber.

The risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.

To reduce your exposure to these chemicals work in a well ventilated area and use approved

safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to ﬁ lter out microscopic particles.

The multifunction table MFT/3 is designed for safe, accurate sawing and routing in combination with Festool electric power tools.

The clamping systems included in the accessories programme enable the user to attach workpieces securely to the worktop. The base becomes a work bench for various tasks such as planing, sanding, carving, etc.

The multifunction table MFT/KAPEX was specially designed for attaching the KAPEX KS 120.

The user bears the responsibility for damage and accidents caused by improper use.

MFT/3:

Setting up and assembly

Accessory attachments can be secured at different points on the multifunction table to enable different working positions.

In the standard working position, the user stands along one side of the bench [Fig. 2]. In these operating instructions, this side of the bench is referred to as the "front".

Step 1: Setting up

Take the table out of the box. Screw on the knobs [2-3] until the stop is reached. Unfold the foldaway legs and tighten the knobs on the joints to secure. Turn the end cap [2-1] on the right to adjust the length of the leg and compensate for an uneven ﬂ oor surface.

NOTE: The corner feet [2-2] are ﬁ tted with rubber caps so that the bench stands securely when the legs are folded away.

Step 2: Trim splinter guard

Now you are ready to set up the guide rail system. The ﬁ rst thing to do is to trim the splinter guard [3-4] of the guide rail using your Festool plunge-cut saw.

3-4

3-3

Place your saw on top of the guide rail and tune it to the track on the rail using a screwdriver [3-3] to loosen or tighten the front and back set screws so that there is no play between the sole plate of the saw and he raised portion of the guide rail. However, make sure that the saw still glides smoothly on top of the guide rail.

REAR

FRONT ( Working side)

4-4

Adjust the speed of the saw [3-2] to a setting of „6“ (maximum speed). Set the depth of cut, using the depth stop adjustment [3-1], to 8 mm (5 mm for the thickness of the guide rail plus 3 mm cutting depth) and cut the splinter guard along the full length without interruption.

For trimming the splinter guard it is best to use some sort of backing piece, such as plywood or ﬁ berboard.

The edge of the splinter guard now corresponds exactly to the cutting edge.

Step 3: Setting up the

guide rail support

The table comes from the factory with two stops [4-2, 4-4] pre-set on the long sides of the proﬁ le frame, opposite each other. These are recommended working positions for the support unit [4-2] and swivel unit [4-4].

FRONT ( Working side)

NOTE: During transport it is possible that the set screws holding the stops may have loosened. If this is the case, you will have to position and retighten the registering stops. Facing the front of the table, the measurement is 8 3/4’’ from the side face of the proﬁ le frame at the right side of the table. Facing the rear, the stop is approximately 7 2/3’’ from the side face at the left side of the table.

The swivel unit [4-4] is mounted on the rear long side, the support unit [4-2] on the front side.

Both units are inserted into the proﬁ le groove from the left up to the stops with the height adjustment [4-2] and the rotary knob [4-1] released, and then clamped with the rotary knob [4-1].

Step 4: Attaching the guide rail

5-25-1

To attach the guide rail, place on the key [5-2] and make sure that the end of the rail is resting on the support plate and the key is located correctly in the groove.

Secure the guide rail in this position with the two screws [5-1] and tighten using the hexagon wrench.

Lower the guide rail onto the support unit so that the groove in the underside of the guide rail ﬁ ts on to the pin [4-5] of the support unit. The guide rail is properly attached when only a very slight lateral pressure is necessary for the pin to engage into the guide rail.

The deﬂ ector [6-1] is pushed onto the end of the guide rail. Close the rotary knob [6-2]. The deﬂ ector prevents the extrac- tion hose and the power cable from catching on the guide rail.

Step 5:

Attaching the pre-set

proﬁ le setting rail

The rail can be attached at any point along the clamping edge of the bench and is so versatile, it can be used as a cross stop or a longitudinal stop.

NOTE: Before attaching, make sure that the V groove on the fence is not dirty.

Open the clamping jaws using the knob [7-2]. Place the fence with guide rail [7-1] onto the clamp rail from above. Secure the clamp segment using the knob [7-2].

Step 6: Calibrating angle

Check the angle setting of the pre-set proﬁ le setting rail before starting work. Align the guide rail ﬁ rst of all [Fig. 8].

Align the guide rail at right angles to the pre-set proﬁ le setting rail. If an angle of 90° is not possible, slide a support unit on the guide rail until the angle is correct. Secure the guide rail.

NOTE: Slide the relevant stop [4-3] along the table proﬁ le to retain the setting per- manently.

If required, the pre-set proﬁ le setting rail can also be aligned in relation to the perforated top provided the necessary clamps (accessories) are available.

Insert the clamps [9-1] and [9-2] as shown in Fig. [9] and move the stop ruler [9-3] to a 90° position.

If the stop ruler does not rest evenly against the clamps:

9-4

Loosen the screws [9-4] and the rotary knob [7-2]. The retaining pin must be engaged in the 90° notch.

Set the angle at 90° in relation to the clamps and tighten the screws.

Step 7: Adjusting the pre-set

proﬁ le setting rail

Risk of injury! Always use the fence in a ﬁ xed position and do not use to slide the workpiece along!

Risk of injury! Make sure that all rotary knobs on the fence are tightened before starting work.

The fence can be adjusted in the following ways:

10-1

10-2 10-3

Adjustment parallel to the bench edge:

Loosen the rotary knob [10-4].

10-6

10-5

10-4

Adjustment at right angles to the

bench edge:

Loosen the rotary knob [10-4].

Adjusting the stop ruler [10-5]

lengthways

Loosen the rotary knob [10-1]. The stop ruler can be moved to a lower position for thin workpieces or a higher position for thicker workpieces.

Angle adjustment using the scale

Loosen the rotary knob [10-2] and lift the retaining pin [10-3]. The rotary retaining pin engages in the most common angle positions.

Step 8: Adjusting the guide rail

in relation to the workpiece

max. 5 mm

For sawing and routing applications, the guide rail can be lowered via [1-2] and [1-4] so that the rail rests evenly on the workpiece. The workpiece and the rail are retained securely.

A support piece of suitable thickness is placed centrally under the guide rail between the workpiece and the support unit [1-2] so that the guide rail does not tilt when narrow workpieces are machined.

Step 9: Adjusting the cutting

depth for sawing [Fig. 11]

Always make sure that the cutting depth setting is correct in relation to the workpiece thickness. We recommend setting a cutting depth to a maximum of 5 mm more than the workpiece thickness to protect the proﬁ le frame from damage.

MFT/KAPEX:

Mounting the KAPEX

The perforated top on the MFT/KAPEX was specially designed for mounting the KAPEX KS 120.

Risk of injury! Before start- ing work, make sure that the machine is secured properly

Risk of injury! Respect the maximum workpiece dimensions.

Mount the machine on the MFT/KAPEX as shown in Fig.[12].

Secure the machine to the MFT using clamps.

Maintenance

Turning the perforated top

When worn on one side, the perforated top can be turned over. Loosen the four screws in the corners underneath the bench.
