Festool PN561287 User Manual

A beveled cut is where the saw head is tilted to the left or 

right from vertical. The Kapex saw is capable of beveling 
up to 47° to the left and right.  

The bevel range selector engages a series of angle stops. 

The selector has three settings. The first setting, (0-45°) 

limits the bevel travel between 0 degrees and 45 degrees 
to the left. The second setting (±45°) limits the bevel 

travel between 45 degrees to the left and 45 degrees to 

the right. The last setting (±47°) limits the bevel travel to 
the full extent of the saw, which is 47 degrees to the left 

and to the right. 

 

NOTICE: These settings are not hard-limits, and 
turning the bevel adjustment knob into one of the 

limit settings will cause the spring loaded limit to 

be bypassed. However, it should be noted that 

doing so can cause premature wear to the bevel 
limits. 

 

1. 

Release the bevel lock by lifting the lever. 

2. 

As necessary, turn the bevel range selector to the 

desired range. 

 

3. 

Rotate the bevel adjustment knob until the bevel index 

pointer is pointing to the desired angle. (There is a 
duplicate pointer on either side of the saw.) 

4. 

Lower the bevel lock lever. 

 

The auxiliary fence provides support for taller workpieces. 

The two halves of the fence can be slid toward or away 

from the blade, or removed completely. Performing 
beveled cuts requires the auxiliary fence to be moved 

away from the blade area. 

► 

To move the auxiliary fence, lift the locking lever, slide 

the fence, then lower the locking lever. 

► 

To remove the auxiliary fence, lower the limit screw by 

turning it clockwise, then slide the fence out of the 

retaining slot.
