Changing Tools - Festool PRECISIO CS 50 EB Mode D'emploi

6 Machine settings
Prior to any setting, maintenance or
repair, pull the mains plug!
To make setting easier, the saw unit can be lo-
cked in the front position (Fig. 5): pull the saw
unit forwards as far as it will go and place the
switch (5.1) in the lower position.
The machine must not be used in the
front position!
6.1 Cutting depth
The cutting depth can be set steplessly (0 -
50 mm with 90° position of the saw blade) by
turning the crank handle (5.4).
6.2 Mitre
The saw blade can be pivoted between 0° and
45°:
- Open the rotary knob (5.3).
- Set the mitre using the scale (5.6) by turning
the handle (5.2).
- Close the rotary knob (5.3).
For exact fi tting work (relief cutting on the
bordering), the saw blade can be pivoted 2°
beyond the two end positions. To do so, the
button (5.5) is pressed in the end position;
the saw blade can then be pivoted up to -2° or
47°. On pivoting back, both end positions are
active once again.

Safety Instructions Fast-Fix Tensi-
on Nut (see Fig. 7 A).
After tensioning, close the handle
bow.
Only tighten or loosen the Fast-Fix
Tension Nut by hand. Under no circum-
stances use the handle bow with aid of
screwdrivers, pliers, or other tools for
tightening or loosening.
If the nut cannot be loosened by hand,
only use a pin-type face spanner for
support.
Never continue to use the Fast-Fix nut,
in case the handle bow is loose or da-
maged.
Due to the special shank, only the saw
blades offered by Festool for this ma-
chine may be used.
- Open the locking mechanism (1.3) and remo-
ve the bench insert (1.2) upwards
- Open the locking mechanism (6.1) and swing
the saw blade cover (6.2) down. This auto-
matically locks the tool spindle
- Shift the lever (7.5) and turn clockwise (left-
hand thread) to open the Fast-Fix clamp
(7.4)
- Change the tool. In doing so, bear in mind:
• The Fast-Fix clamp (7.4), fl ange (8.1) and
saw blade must be clean
• The direction of rotation on the saw blade
(7.6) must match the direction of rotation
of the machine (7.7)
• Place the saw blade on the centre of the
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
- Firmly tighten the Fast-Fix clamp (7.4) antic-
lockwise; shift the lever (7.5)
- Swing the saw blade cover (6.2) upwards and
close the locking mechanism (6.1)
- Insert the bench insert with the rear edge fi rst
(see Fig. 9) and close the locking mechanism
(1.3).
6.4
The spacer wedge (7.1) is to be set in such a
way that the gap to the chuck of the saw blade
is 3 to 5 mm.
- Use the Allen key (6.3) to remove the screw
(7.3) and take it out together with the clam-
ping element (7.2),
- After both of the screws (8.3) have been ope-
ned, the guide element (8.2) can be shifted
vertically to set the gap between the spacer
wedge and saw blade.
- After completion of the setting, fi t the spacer
wedge and clamping element again and tigh-
ten all screws.
6.5
As shown in Fig. 3, the supplied guide can be
secured to all four sides of the machine.
The guide offers the following adjustment op-
tions:
• Adjustment parallel to the bench edge - open
the rotary knob (3.5).
• Adjustment vertical to the bench edge - open
the rotary knob (3.6).
• Adjustment of the sliding fence (3.1) in a
longitudinal direction - open the rotary knob
(3.2). The sliding fence can be clamped onto
the holder in a low position for thin workpi-
eces (Fig. 1), or in a high position for thick
workpieces (Fig. 3).
• Angle adjustment using the scale (3.7) - open
the rotary knob (3.3) and raise the fi xing pin
(3.4). The rotating fi xing pin locks into place
in the most common angle positions.
This means that the guide can be used as a
parallel guide (Fig. 1) or as a cross guide or
angle guide (Fig. 3).
6.6
The two scales (1.5) specify the cutting width
for longitudinal cuts.
If required, the scales can be realigned after
opening the screws (1.4).
6.7
The splinterguard (10.2) prevents breakouts on
the lower cutting edge of the workpiece.
The splinterguard can be used for all mitres,
but a separate splinterguard must be fi tted and

the fl ange and the saw blade hole lock.

Guide
Prior to all work, make sure that all ro-
tary knobs of the guide are tightened.
The guide may only be used in a fi xed
position and not to shift the workpi-
ece.
