XLoosen the screw [5-5] using the Allen key
[5-3].
XRemove the saw blade [5-7].
XInsert a new saw blade.
The rotational direction of the saw blade
[5-8] and machine [5-6] must be the
same!
XInsert the outer flange [5-9] so that the pin en-
gages in the recess on the inner flange.
XTighten the screw [5-5] firmly.
XFold back the lever [5-2].
7.5 Fitting the viewing window/splinter-
guard [6]
The viewing window (transparent) [6-1] provides
a view of the saw blade and optimises dust
extraction.
With 0° cuts, the splinterguard (green) [6-2] also
improves the quality of the cutting edge of the
sawn-off workpiece on the upper side.
XInsert the splinterguard [6-2].
XScrew the rotary knob [6-3] through the long
hole in the splinterguard.
Make sure that the nut [6-4] is seated
securely in the splinterguard.
Use only knob that comes with your
plunge-cut saw. The knob of an other
saw may be too long and block the
blade.
You must bed in the splinterguard before using it:
XSet the machine to maximum cutting depth.
XSet the machine speed to 6.
7.6 Dust extraction
WARNING
Dust hazard
XDust can be hazardous to health. Always work
with a dust extractor.
XAlways read applicable national regulations
before extracting hazardous dust.
A Festool mobile dust extractor with an extractor
hose diameter of 27 mm or 36 mm (36 mm
recommended due to the reduced risk of clogging)
can be connected to the extractor connector [1-8].
8 Working with the machine
Please observe all mentioned safety
informations and the following rules
when working:
– Only guide the machine against the workpiece
when it is switched on.
– Check the installation fixture prior to use and
do not use the machine if the fixture does not
function correctly.
– Always secure the workpiece in such a manner
that it cannot move while being processed.
– Always hold the machine with two hands at
the handles [1-4] when performing work. This
reduces the risk of injury and is a prerequisite
for precise work.
– Always push the machine forwards [9-2], never
draw the machine towards yourself.
– Adapt the fast-feed speed to prevent the cutters
on the saw blade from overheating and prevent
plastic materials from melting during cutting.
– Make sure that all rotary knobs [4-1] are
tightened before starting work.
– Do not use the machine when the electronics
are faulty because the machine may operate
at excessive speeds. An absence of the smooth
start-up function or speed control indicates that
the electronics are faulty.
For work that generates dust, wear a
dustmask.
8.1 Sawing along the scribe mark
The cutting indicator [7-2] displays the cutting line
for 0° and 45° cuts (without guide rail).
8.2 Cutting sections
Place the machine with the front part of the saw
table on the workpiece, switch the machine on,
press it down to the preset cutting depth and push
it forward in the cutting direction.
8.3 Sawing cut outs (plunge cuts)
In order to avoid kickbacks, the
following instructions must be observed
without fail when plunge cutting:
– Always place the machine with the rear edge of
the saw table against a fixed stop.
– When working with the guide rail, place the
machine against the kickback stop FS-RSP
(accessory) [9-4] clamped to the guide rail.
