Adjusting The Pendulum Stroke; Working With The Electric Power Tool - Festool CARVEX PS 420 EBQ Notice D'utilisation

English
► Switch on the jigsaw.
► On a level surface, slide in the splinterguard
(not using your hand!) while the machine is
operating until it is flush with the front edge
of the saw table (speed setting 5). This cuts
into the splinterguard.
When it is worn, push the splinterguard
approx. 3 mm further to the rear and con­
tinue using it.
To guarantee reliable operation of the
splinterguard, it must seal tightly on both
sides of the saw blade. A new splinter­
guard should therefore be fitted after ev­
ery saw blade change to guarantee splint­
er-free cuts.
7.4 Changing the saw table
► Open the change lever [1-10].
► Remove the saw table downwards.
Assembly is performed in reverse se­
quence to removal. Ensure that the saw
table is firmly seated in the guide.
Instead of the saw table, the WT-PS 400 angle
table or ADT-PS 400 base adapter can be instal­
led at the support.
Never saw without the saw table, or one
of the other tables or adapters offered in
the Festool accessories range.
7.5 Extraction
WARNING
Health risk due to dust
► Always work with an extractor.
► Comply with national regulations.
The extraction adapter [5-3] allows jigsaws to
be connected to a dust extractor (hose diameter
27 mm).
► Insert the extraction adapter in the rear
opening of the saw table so that the
hook [5-2] engages in the recess [5-1].
► To remove the extraction adapter, press the
hook [5-2].
Due to the low power consumption of the
machine (low energy consumption), dust
extractors with an automatic switch-on
function will sometimes only start up when
the actual cut is made.
► Set the dust extractor to continuous opera­
tion for special applications (e.g. low stroke
rate, soft wood).

Adjusting the pendulum stroke

The pendulum stroke on pendulum jigsaws can
be adjusted to machine different materials with
the correct rate of advance. Select the required
setting using the pendulum stroke switch
[1-13]:
Position 0 = pendulum stroke off
Position 3 = maximum pendulum stroke
Recommended pendulum stroke setting
Hardwood, softwood, chipboard, wood fi­
breboard
Blockboard, plywood, plastic
Ceramics
Aluminium, non-ferrous metals
Steel
7.7 Stroke rate control
Using the adjusting wheel [1-6], the stroke rate
can be continuously adjusted between 1500 and
3800 rpm (PSB 420 EBQ: 1000–3800 rpm). This
enables you to optimise the cutting speed to
suit the respective material.
Automatic load detection is activated in posi­
tion A: The stroke rate drops when idling and is
adjusted to the highest setting when the work­
piece is introduced.
Recommended stroke rate (position of the ad­
justing wheel)
Hard and soft wood, blockboard, ply­
wood, chipboard
Fibreboard
Plastic
Ceramic, aluminium, non-ferrous met­
als
Steel
8 Working with the electric
power tool
CAUTION
Materials which produce a lot of dust
Damage to the machine due to the ingress of
dust, risk of injury
► Do not work overhead.
When working on small or thin workpieces, al­
ways use a stable base, or the CMS module (ac­
cessory).
