Selecting the saw blade
Only use saw blades with a T-shank. The
saw blade should not be longer than that
required for the intended cut. To ensure safe
guidance, during the cut the saw blade should
emerge at the bottom of the workpiece at every
point.
Only use cross-set saw blades when using
angle tables and base adapters. We rec
ommend the S 105/4 FSG Festool saw
blade.
Only saw materials for which the saw blade in
question has been designed.
Festool saw blades for jigsaws are colour-cod
ed. The colour represents the material for
which the saw blade is suited.
