Festool HKC 55 EB Notice D'utilisation Originale page 16

English
Only use this power tool when it is in per­
fect working order.
– Always secure the workpiece in such a way
that it cannot move during machining.
– Make sure that the extractor hose does not
snag the entire saw cut, either on the work­
piece, the workpiece support or hazards on
the ground.
– When working, always hold the power tool
with both hands on the handles [1-1]. This
is a prerequisite for precise work and is es­
sential for plunge-cutting. Plunge into the
workpiece slowly and evenly.
– Always push the saw forwards [8-9], and
never towards yourself.
– Adapt the infeed speed to prevent the cut­
ters on the saw blade from overheating and
prevent plastic materials from melting dur­
ing cutting. The harder the material to be
sawn, the lower the feed speed needs to be.
Make sure that the rotary knob [1-12] is
–
tightened before starting work.
– CAUTION! Risk of overheating. Before use,
make sure that the battery pack is securely
clicked into place

9.5 Sawing cut-outs (plunge cuts)
In order to avoid kickbacks, the following
instructions must be observed without fail when
plunge cutting:
– Always position saw with the rear edge of
the saw table against a fixed stop.
– When working with the guide rail, place the
saw against the kickback stop FS-RSP (ac­
cessories) clamped to the guide rail.
Caution! Danger of crushing!
Always keep a firm grip on the machine
with your free hand when adjusting plunge cuts.
Never position your fingers behind or below the
saw blade.
