Servicing and maintenance
Any maintenance or repair work that
requires opening of the motor or gear housing
should only be carried out by an authorised Cus-
tomer Service Centre (name supplied by your deal-
er) ! Maintenance or repair work carried out by an
unauthorised person can lead to the wrong con-
nection of the power leads or other components,
which in turn can lead to accidents with serious
consequences.
To prevent accidents, always remove
the plug from the power supply socket before car-
rying out any maintenance or repair work on the
machine! Do not use compressed air to clean the
electrical tool! Do not try to clean parts inside the
machine in this way, as you could let foreign objects
in through the openings of the machine housing.
Certain cleaning agents and solvents
are harmful to plastic parts. Some of these are:
gasoline, carbonyl chloride, cleaning solutions con-
taining chlorine, ammonia and household cleaners
containing ammonia.
• To assure the circulation of air, the cool air vents
in the motor housing must always be kept clear
and clean.
• This unit is fitted with special, automatically
disconnecting carbon brushes. If these become
worn, the current is automatically switched off
and the unit shuts down. In this case, take the
unit to an authorised Customer Service Centre
and have the carbon brushes changed.
• After being removed away from the workpiece,
the machine automatically returns to its basic
position, the saw blade retracts into the protective
cover and the cut-in and release block engages
once again. If this no longer functions, stop us-
ing the hand-operated circular saw and have it
repaired immediately by an authorised Customer
Service Centre.
• The riving knife must be aligned with the saw
blade, and should not be crooked. A faulty riving
knife must be replaced immediately. Under no
circumstances use the saw without the riving knife
because of the increased risk of recoil.
• Even with proper usage the teeth of the saw blade
become blunt in time. Change the saw blade as
soon as you notice that you need a greater force
to push the machine during sawing or the quality
of cut has deteriorated. Take blunt saw blades
back to an authorised Customer Service Centre
for re-sharpening. Take the saw blades out when
you want to clean them of resin and wood. Use
kerosene for cleaning the saw blades.
The order numbers for these and for other acces-
sories that allow you to use your Festool portable
circular saw effectively and in many ways, can be
found in the Festool catalogue or on the Internet
under www.festoolusa.com.
Parallel stop, table widener
A parallel stop can be used for section widths up
to 180 mm.
The parallel stop can also be used as a table wid-
ener.
Side-mounted cover, false joints
The cover that can be mounted on the side of the
protective cover improves the effect of dust extrac-
tion for 0° cuts.
Simultaneously, the cover can be used as a false
joint stop for false joint widths from 18 mm on-
wards.
Multifunction table
The mutifunction table (MFT/3, MFT 800, MFT 1800)
makes clamping the workpiece easy and allows
you to saw large and small workpieces safely and
precisely using the guide system. Its many fi elds
of application make economical and ergonomically
convenient work possible.
