Can I use the tap on Kamahl if I attack with him and how does it work?

Only if you give him vigilance. Attacking causes creatures to tap normally. If he has vigilance, you can use his ability anytime you get priority. Even while attacking. The effect works the same.

Please use double square brackets around a card's name to create a reference link. It's the best way to make sure everyone understands what's going on with your question. I assume you're asking about Kamahl, Pit Fighter .

No, you don't automatically get to use Kamahl's ability when he attacks. That ability is a type of "activated ability", which are always written out in the form "(Cost) : (Effect)". That means the symbol is the cost to activate Kamahl's ability. The ability only gets activated when you specifically tap Kamahl to pay the cost for it. It doesn't get activated if Kamahl gets tapped for some other reason, like attacking or being tapped by an opponent's spell.
