WARNING
Unauthorised voltage or frequency!
Risk of accidents
► The mains voltage and the frequency of the
power source must correspond to the
specifications on the machine’s name
plate.
► In North America, only Festool machines
with the voltage specifications 120 V/60 Hz
must be used.
CAUTION
Heating of the Plug it connection if bayonet
fitting is not completely locked
Risk of burns
► Before switching on the power tool, make
sure that the bayonet fitting at the mains
cable is closed fully and locked.
Always switch the machine off before
connecting or disconnecting the mains
power cable!
Connecting and detaching the mains power ca
ble [1.11] see Fig. [2].
Slide the switch-on lock [1.6] upwards
and press the on/off switch [1.7] (press =
ON / release = OFF).
Pressing the switch-on lock unlocks the plung
ing mechanism. The saw unit can then be
moved downwards. This causes the saw blade
to emerge from the protective cover.
7.1 Extension Cord
If an extension cord is required, it must have
sufficient cross-section to prevent an excessive
drop in voltage or overheating. An excessive
drop in voltage reduces the output and can lead
to failure of the motor. The table below shows
you the correct cord diameter as a function of
the cord length for this tool.

Never use two extension cords together. In
stead, use one long one.
The lower the AWG number, the
stronger the cord.

8.1 Electronics
The machine features full-wave phase control
electronics with the following features:
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up
function ensures that the power tool starts up
smoothly.
Constant speed
The motor speed is electronically kept con
stant. This ensures a uniform cutting speed
even when under load.
