Regular cleaning of the machine, above
all the adjustment devices and the
guides, is an important safety factor.
Observe the following instructions:
► Damaged safety devices and parts, such as
a faulty lever for changing tools [1-3], must
be properly repaired or replaced in a recog­
nised specialist workshop, unless otherwise
indicated in the operating manual.
► To ensure constant air circulation, always
keep the cooling air openings in the housing
clean and free of blockages.
► Use an extractor on all openings in order to
remove wood chips and splinters from the
power tool. Never open the protective lid .
► The pendulum guard must always be able to
move freely and close independently. Al­
ways keep the area around the pendulum
guard clean. Clear from dust and chippings
by blowing out with compressed air or using
a brush.
► Keep the contacts on the power tool, charg­
er and battery pack clean.
► When working with plaster- and cement-
bonded fibreboards, clean the tool particu­
larly thoroughly. Clean the vents of the
power tool and on/off switch using dry, oil-
free compressed air. Otherwise, gypsum
dust deposits may build up inside the power
tool's housing and on the on/off switch and
harden when exposed to humidity. This may
impair the switching mechanism
Check all warnings on the electric power tool
for readability and completeness. Replace
missing or illegible warnings.

11 Accessories

Use only original Festool accessories and
Festool consumable material intended for this
machine. These components are designed spe­
cifically for this machine. Using accessories
and consumable material from other suppliers
will most likely affect the quality of your results

your own personal workload may increase de­
pending on the application. Protect yourself and
your machine, and preserve your warranty
claims by always using original Festool acces­
sories and Festool consumable material!
The order numbers of the accessories and tools
can be found in the Festool catalogue or on the
Internet under "www.festoolusa.com".

11.1 Saw blades, other accessories
In order to saw different materials quickly and
cleanly, Festool offers saw blades for all appli­
cations and these are specially designed for
your Festool portable circular saw.

11.2 Guide rail

The guide rail enables you to make clean, accu­
rate cuts while simultaneously protecting the
surface of the workpiece from damage.
In conjunction with the extensive range of ac­
cessories, exact angled cuts, mitre cuts and fit­
ting work can be completed with the guide sys­
tem. The option of attaching the guide rail se­
curely using clamps [8-7] ensures safer work­
ing conditions.
► Adjust the guide play between the saw table
and the guide rail using the two adjustable
jaws [8-8].
The splinterguard [8-5] requires breaking in
before first usage:
► Position saw at the very end of the guide
rail, so that the guide plate is level.
► Swivel saw to 0° position and set to maxi­
mum cutting depth.
► Switch on saw.
