Tips on Setting Up an ATF 55 or AT 65 circular saw
The amazing Festool pendulum saw will live up to its reputation right out of the box—that it
will ride on a guide rail that sticks magically to the workpiece, that it can crosscut plywood
without chipping, that it can give a cabinetsaw grade cut, and so on and so forth. It will do
all this, however, if it is first set up properly. There’s not much to do, but it’s essential to get
the most out of your saw.
So what should you do when you first get your saw? Read the manual, of course! (Hey—
there’s important information there). This photo essay complements the manual, offering
more detail of some aspects of set up and tuning, as well as a few tips not found in the
manual.
