in the vicinity. Comply with the safety regu
lations that apply in your country.
– Wear a P2 respiratory mask to protect
your health. In enclosed spaces, ensure
that there is sufficient ventilation and con
nect a mobile dust extractor.
– This power tool cannot be installed in a
work bench. The power tool may become
unsafe and cause serious accidents if in
stalled in benches from other manufactur
ers or self-manufactured work benches.
– Check whether there are any signs of dam
age to the housing components, such as
cracks or stress whitening. Have any dam
aged components repaired before using the
power tool.
– Use appropriate detection devices to look
for any hidden supply lines or consult your
local utility company. If the insertion tool
makes contact with live cables, it can result
in fire and electric shock. Damage to a gas
pipe can lead to an explosion. Penetration
of a water pipe can result in damage to
property.
2.5 Sawing aluminium
When sawing aluminium, the following meas
ures must be taken for safety reasons:
– Use an aluminium saw blade.
– Close the viewing window/chip guard.
– Install an upstream residual-current circuit
breaker (RCD, PRCD).
– When sawing panels, they must be lubrica
ted with petroleum, but thin-walled profiles
(up to 3 mm) can be sawed without lubrica
tion.
2.6 Emission levels
The levels determined in accordance
with
EN 60745 are typically:
Sound pressure level L
PA
=
90 dB(A)
Sound power level L
WA
= 101 dB(A)
Uncertainty K = 3
dB
CAUTION
Noise generated when working
Risk of damage to hearing
► Use ear protection.
Vibration emission level a
h
(vector sum for
three directions) and uncertainty K measured in
accordance with EN 60745:
Sawing wood
a
h
< 2.5 m/s
2
K = 1.5 m/s
2
Cutting aluminium
a
h
< 2.5 m/s
2
K = 1.5 m/s

The specified emission levels (vibration, noise)
– are used to compare machines.
– They are also used for making preliminary
estimates regarding vibration and noise
load during operation.
– They represent the primary applications of
the power tool.
CAUTION
The emission values may deviate from the
specified values. This is dependent on how
the tool is used and the type of workpiece
being machined.
► The actual load during the entire operating
cycle must be evaluated.
► Depending on the actual load, suitable pro
tective measures must be defined in order
to protect the operator.
3 Intended use
Circular saws are designed for sawing wood,
materials similar to wood, gypsum and cement-
bonded fibre materials and plastics. When fitted
with the special saw blades for aluminium that
are offered by Festool, these machines can also
be used for sawing aluminium.
Materials containing asbestos must NOT be
processed.
Do not use cutting or sanding discs.
This power tool may only be used by experts or
instructed persons.
The user is liable for improper or non-in
tended use.
3.1 Saw blades
Only use saw blades with the following dimen
sions:
– Saw blades according to EN 847-1
– Saw blade diameter 160 mm
– Cutting width 1.8 mm
– Locating bore 20 mm
– Standard blade thickness 1.1-1.4 mm
– Suitable for speeds of up to 9500 rpm
Festool saw blades comply with EN 847-1.
Only saw materials for which the saw blade in
question has been designed.
