Current limiting
Current limiting prevents permissibly high
current consumption under extreme overload.
This can lead to a decrease in the motor speed.
The motor immediately restarts after the load
is removed.
Brake
After switching-off the tool, the saw blade is
electronically brought to a standstill in 1.5 – 2
seconds.
4.2 Cutting depth
The cutting depth can be set at 0 – 75 mm:
- Press the cutting depth stop (3.3) and move
it to the desired cutting depth (the values
specifi ed on the scale (3.1) apply to 0° cuts
without guide rail),
- Release the cutting depth stop (the cutting
depth stop notches along in 1 mm-steps).
The sawing unit can now be pressed down to
the set cutting depth.
A grub screw (M4x8 to M4x12) can be screwed
into the hole (3.2) on the cutting depth stop. By
turning the grub screw, the cutting depth can
be set even more exactly (± 0.1 mm).
4.3 Cutting angle
The sawing unit can be swivelled between 0°
and 47°:
- Loosen rotary knobs (3.4, 3.6),
- Swivel sawing unit to the desired cutting angle
(3.5),
- Retighten rotary knobs.
Note: both limit positions are set ex works at
0° and 45°. By turning both setscrews (3.7)
counter-clockwise, the 45° limit position can
be increased to a maximum of 47°.
4.4 Changing the saw blade
- Move lever (4.2) as far as it will go,
- Push switch lock (4.1) up and push sawing
unit down until it locks into place,
- Loosen screw (4.4) with Allen key (4.3),
- Remove saw blade,
- Clean fl ange (4.8, 4.10),
- Insert new saw blade.
The direction of rotation of the saw bla-
de (4.9) and the machine (4.7) must
be the same.
- Insert outer fl ange (4.10) such that the lo-
cking pins engage into the notches on the
inner fl ange (4.8).
- Tighten screw (4.4),
- Put lever (4.2) back.
4.5 Setting the spacer wedge
- Move lever (4.2) as far as it will go,
- Push switch lock (4.1) up and push sawing
unit down until it locks into place,
- Loosen screw (4.6) with Allen key (4.3),
- Set spacer wedge as shown in diagram 4,
- Tighten screw (4.6),
- Put lever (4.2) back.
4.6 Dust extraction
Always connect the machine to a dust extrac-
tor. A Festool dust extractor with an extractor
hose diameter of 36 mm or 27 mm (36 mm
recommended due to the reduced risk of clog-
ging) can be connected to the rotating extractor
connector (6.1).
4.7 Mounting the splinterguard
The splinterguard (accessories) signifi cantly
improves the quality of the cutting edge of the
sawn workpiece on the upper side for 0° cuts.
- Attach splinterguard (5.1) onto the protective
cover,
- Place machine onto the workpiece or the guide
rail,
- Press splinterguard down until it sits on the
workpiece and tighten it with the rotary knob
(5.2).
- Saw splinterguard in (machine to maximum
cutting depth and speed range 1)
5 Working with the machine
Always secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move while being
sawed.
The machine must always be held with
both hands by the designated handles
(1.1, 1.6).
Always push the machine forwards
(1.2), never pull the machine back-
wards towards you.
5.1 Sawing along a scribe mark
The cutting indicator (6.3) displays the cutting
line for 0° and 45° cuts (without guide rail).
5.2 Sawing sections
Place the machine with the front part of the saw
table on the workpiece, switch the machine on,
press it down onto the set cutting depth and
push it forward in the cutting direction.
5.3 Sawing cut outs (plunge cuts)
In order to avoid kickbacks, the following in-
structions absolutely must be observed when
plunge cutting:
- The machine must always be placed with the
rear edge of the saw table against a fi xed
stop. When working with the guide rail, the
tool must be placed at the kickback stop (7.1),
which is fi rmly clamped on the guard rail (see
Fig. 7; when not in use, the kickback stop can
be kept in safekeeping at the guide plate (7.2)
of the machine).
- The machine must always be held securely
with both hands and only plunged slowly.
Procedure
place the machine onto the workpiece and posi-
tion it against a stop (kickback stop), switch the
machine on, slowly press it down onto the set
cutting depth and push it forward in the cutting
direction. The markings (6.2) display the abso-
