6 Operation
WARNING
Unauthorised voltage or frequency!
Risk of accident
XThe mains voltage and the frequency of the
power source must correspond with the
specifications on the machine’s name plate.
XIn North America, only Festool machines with
the voltage specifications 120 V/60 Hz may be
used.
Always switch the machine off before
connecting or disconnecting the mains
power cable!
Connecting and detaching the mains power cable
[1-11] see Fig. [2].
Slide the switch-on lock [1-6] upwards and
press the on/off switch [1-7] (press = ON /

Pressing the switch-on lock unlocks
the plunging mechanism. The saw unit
can then be moved downwards. This
causes the sawblade to emerge from
the protective cover.
