Festool KS 60 E-UG-Set/XL KAPEX Sliding Compound Mitre Saw
At a Glance: Compact 1 200 W KAPEX mitre saw set with 216 mm blade, LED spotlight, underframe and trimming attachment
The Festool KS 60 E-UG-Set/XL KAPEX is a compact, mobile and highly precise sliding compound mitre saw designed for professional assembly work, installation, trim work and workshop cutting. Built for tradespeople who need accuracy without carrying unnecessary bulk, the KS 60 combines a lightweight design with impressive cutting capacity, smooth twin-column guidance and clever features such as an LED spotlight, bevel, cutting depth limiter and underframe system. Supplied as a practical XL set with underframe and trimming attachment, this KAPEX is ready for skirting, cornices, profiles, boards, panels and square timber on site or in the workshop.
The KS 60 E-UG-Set/XL gives you the precision expected from Festool&s KAPEX range in a lighter, more mobile format. The included underframe acts as both a stand and transport frame, while the trimming attachment supports longer workpieces for accurate repeat cutting.

Extra Information
- The KS 60 E-UG-Set/XL is part of Festool&s KAPEX sliding compound mitre saw range.
- The UG-KS 60 underframe works as both a stand and transport frame, making the saw easier to move around site.

- The included SM-KS bevel makes it easier to measure interior and exterior angles and transfer them directly to the saw.
- The LED spotlight shows the blade shadow on the material for accurate alignment against the scribe mark.
- The A-SYS-KS 60 additional feet raise the saw to the height of a Systainer SYS 1, which can then be used as an additional support surface.
- The machine is designed for accurate mobile cutting without unnecessary weight, making it a strong choice for fitters and installers.
Pro Tips
- Use the LED spotlight to position the cut carefully before lowering the saw head. The blade shadow gives a very practical visual guide.
- Use the bevel for skirting and cornice work to transfer wall angles directly to the saw without guesswork.
- Fit the trimming attachment when working with long profiles, boards or strips so that the material stays properly supported.
- Connect a suitable Festool dust extractor to keep the cut line clearer and reduce dust on indoor installation jobs.
- Use the slower speed setting where appropriate for certain materials and blade types to improve cut control.
- Keep the supplied hex key in its storage position so blade changes are quicker and less frustrating on site.
How to Use
- Set up the UG-KS 60 underframe on a stable, level surface.
- Mount the KS 60 securely to the underframe using the correct adapter setup.
- Attach the trimming attachment when cutting longer workpieces.
- Connect a suitable dust extractor to the 27/36 mm extraction connection.
- Select the required mitre angle, bevel angle or cutting depth setting for the application.
- Use the LED spotlight and scribe mark to align the workpiece accurately.
- Clamp or support the workpiece properly before cutting.
- Start the saw and allow the blade to reach the selected speed before entering the material.
- Cut with a controlled, steady motion and allow the blade to stop before lifting the saw head fully.
- Fold and secure the underframe for transport when the work is complete.
Safety
- Read the operating instructions and safety information before using the saw.
- Wear suitable eye, ear and dust protection when cutting.
- Keep hands away from the blade path and do not reach behind or around the saw blade during operation.
- Ensure the saw is securely mounted to the underframe before use.
- Support long workpieces properly with the trimming attachment or suitable additional supports.
- Clamp the workpiece where possible, especially when cutting small, narrow or awkward material.
- Wait for the blade to reach full speed before starting the cut.
- Do not lift the saw head until the blade has stopped rotating.
- Use only suitable saw blades with the correct diameter, bore and specification for the machine.
- Disconnect the saw from the power supply before changing the blade, cleaning or carrying out maintenance.
- Keep the LED spotlight, blade guard and dust extraction points clean for safe and accurate working.
- Use dust extraction to reduce airborne dust and improve visibility of the cutting area.
