1 Use for intended purpose
These machines are intended to be used for
sawing wood, wood-like materials, plaster and
cement-bonded fi bre materials, and plastics.
With the special saw blades for aluminium of-
fered by Festool, these machines can also be
used for sawing aluminium.
Only saw blades with the following specifi cations
must be used: saw blade diameter of 210 mm;
cutting width of 2.4 mm to 2.6 mm; toolhol-
der diameter of 30 mm; blade core thickness
of max. 1.8 mm; suitable for speeds of up to
5000 rpm. Do not use any abrasive wheel.
The user is liable for damage and
injury resulting from incorrect usa-
ge!
2 Safety instructions
2.1 General safety rules
Before using the machine, read the
enclosed safety instructions and these
operating instructions carefully and
thoroughly.
Save all enclosed documents and pass the ma-
chine with all these documents only.
2.2 Tool-specifi c safety rules
DANGER
a) Keep hand away from cutting area and the
blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary
handle, or motor housing. If both hands are
holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the
blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The
guard cannot protect you from the blade
below the workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness
of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of
the blade teeth should be visible below the
workpiece.
d) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or
across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a
stable platform. It is important to support the
work properly to minimize body exposure,
blade binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. Contact with a „live" wire will
also make exposed metal parts of the power
tool „live" and shock the operator.
