The specified emission values (vibration, noise)
– are used to compare machines.
– They are also used for making preliminary
estimates regarding vibration and noise loads
during operation.
– They represent the primary applications of the
power tool.
Increase possible for other applications, with
other insertion tools or if not maintained
adequately. Take note of idling and downtimes of
machine!
2.4 Aluminium processing
When processing aluminium, the
following measures must be taken for
safety reasons
– Install an upstream residual-current circuit-
breaker (FIG, PRCD).
– Connect the machine to a suitable dust extrac-
tor.
– Regularly remove dust deposits from the
motor housing.
– Use a aluminium saw blade.
– Close the viewing window/chipguard.
Wear protective goggles!
– When sawing panels, they must be lubricated
with paraffin but thin-walled profiles (up to
3mm) can be sawed without lubrication.
3 Intended use
Plunge-cut saws are intended to be used for
sawing wood, materials similar to wood, plaster
and cement-bonded fibre materials and plastics.
When fitted with special saw blades for aluminium
offered by Festool, these machines can also be
used for sawing aluminium.
Only saw blades with the following specifications
may be used:
– Saw blade diameter 160 mm,
– cutting width 2.2 mm,
– location hole 20 mm,
– max. standard blade thickness 1.8 mm,
– suitable for speeds up to 9500 rpm.
Never use abrasive wheels in the machine.
The machine is designed and approved for use by
trained persons or specialists only.
– Festool electric power tools must only be in-
stalled on work tables provided by Festool for
this purpose. If the tool is installed in another, or
self-made, work table, it can become unstable
and result in serious accidents.
The user is liable for improper or non-
intended use.
