aged components repaired before using the
power tool.
– Use appropriate detection devices to look
for any hidden supply lines or consult your
local utility company. If the insertion tool
makes contact with live cables, it can result
in fire and electric shock. Damage to a gas
pipe can lead to an explosion. Penetration
of a water pipe can result in damage to
property.
2.5 Sawing aluminium
When sawing aluminium, the following meas­
ures must be taken for safety reasons:
– Wear protective goggles.
– Connect the power tool to a suitable dust
extractor with an antistatic suction hose.
– Regularly clean dust deposits from the mo­
tor housing on the power tool.
– Use an aluminium saw blade.
– Close the viewing window/chip guard.
– When sawing panels, they must be lubrica­
ted with petroleum, but thin-walled profiles
(up to 3 mm) can be sawed without lubrica­
tion.

Emission levels

The levels determined in accordance
with EN 62841 are typically:
Sound pressure level
Sound power level
Uncertainty

Noise generated when working
Risk of damage to hearing

The specified emission levels (vibration, noise)
– are used to compare machines.
– They are also used for making preliminary
estimates regarding vibration and noise

– They represent the primary applications of
the power tool.
CAUTION
The emission values may deviate from the
specified values. This is dependent on how
the tool is used and the type of workpiece
being machined.
► The actual load during the entire operating
cycle must be evaluated.
► Depending on the actual load, suitable pro­
tective measures must be defined in order
to protect the operator.

Intended use

Cordless circular saws are designed for sawing
wood, materials similar to wood, plaster and
cement-bonded fibre materials and plastics.
When fitted with special saw blades for alumi­
nium offered by Festool, the machines can also
be used for sawing aluminium.
Materials containing asbestos must NOT be
processed.
Do not use cutting or sanding discs.
This power tool is suitable for use with
BP Festool battery packs of the same voltage
class.
This power tool may only be used by experts or
instructed persons.
The user is liable for improper or non-in­
tended use.
3.1

Saw blades

Only use saw blades with the following dimen­
sions:
– Saw blades according to EN 847-1
– Saw blade diameter 160 mm
– Cutting width 1.8 mm
– Locating bore 20 mm
– Standard blade thickness 1.1 – 1.4 mm
– Suitable for speeds of up to 9500 rpm
Festool saw blades comply with EN 847-1.
Only saw materials for which the saw blade in
question has been designed.
