7.2 Mitre angle
The saw blade can be swivelled between 0° and 45°:
- Loosen the rotary knob [5-3],
- Set the mitre angle with the help of the scale [5-6]
by turning the handle [5-2],
- Tighten the rotary knob [5-3].
The saw blade can be tilted 2° beyond the two end
positions for precision trimming work (undercuts
on abutting edges). To do this, press the button
[5-5] in the end position; then the saw blade can
be swivelled to -2° or 47°. After swivelling it back,
the two end positions become active again.

Changing tools

Safety instructions for the FastFix
clamping nut (fig. 7A).
Close the lift-up handle after tightening
the clamp.
Only tighten or loosen the FastFix clamp-
ing nut by hand. Never use a screwdriver,
pliers or any other tool to loosen or tight-
en the lift-up handle.
If the nut can no longer be loosened by
hand, it should only be loosened with a
face wrench.
If the lift-up handle is loose or damaged,
the FastFix nut must no longer be used
under any circumstances.
Because of the special tool holder, only
saw blades available for this machine
from Festool with a diameter of 190 mm
may be used.
Wear gloves when swapping out tools but
not when cutting.
- Open the lock [1-3] and lift the table insert [1-2]
up and out,
- Open the lock [6-1] and swivel the saw blade
cover [6-2] downwards. This automatically locks
the tool spindle,
- Pull the lever [7-5] and turn it clockwise (left-
hand thread) to open the FastFix quick release
[7-4],
- Change the tool while making sure that:
- The FastFix quick release [7-4], flange [8-1]
and saw blade are clean,
- The rotation direction of the saw blade [7-6]
corresponds to the rotation direction of the
machine [7-7],
- The saw blade is placed in the middle of the
flange [8-1] and then turned until the contours
of the flange and the hole of the saw blade click
into place.
- Tighten the FastFix quick release [7-4] an-
ti-clockwise and pull the lever [7-5],
- Swivel the saw blade cover [6-2] upwards and
close the lock [6-1],
- Rotate the saw blade twice to make sure that it
can move freely.
- Put the table insert back, far edge first (fig. 9),
and close the lock [1-3].

Adjusting the riving knife

The riving knife [7-1] needs to be adjusted so that
the distance to the saw blade's teeth is 3 to 5 mm.
- Use the hex key [6-3] to unscrew the screw
[7-3] and remove it together with the clamping
element [7-2],
- After unscrewing both screws [8-3], the guide
piece [8-2] can be moved vertically to adjust the
distance between the riving knife and saw blade.
- After successful adjustment, return the riving
knife and clamping element and retighten all
screws.
7.5 Fence
The supplied fence can be attached to all four
sides of the machine as shown in fig. 3.
The fence can be adjusted in the following ways:
The fence can be inserted as a rip fence (fig. 1) or
as a cross-cutting fence or angle-cutting fence
(fig. 3).
Rip fence:
- Loosen the screw [3-3] and lift the fixing pin
[3-4], adjust the angle to 0° with the help of the
scale, lock the fixing pin again and tighten the
screw [3-3].
- Loosen the screw [3-2] and adjust the rail [3-1]
so that the triangular arrow is within the green
sticker, see details
screw [3-2].
- Push the preset profile setting rail into the groo-
ve on the side of the table (fig. 3 detail). Slide
it until the preset profile setting rail's handle
covers the green marked area on the side of the
table, see detail
[3-5].
- Loosen the screw [3-6], set the desired cutting
width and retighten the screw.
The preset profile setting rail can be used as a
high or low rip fence. For this adjust the rail [3-1]
upright or flat.
The low rip fence is used to avoid collision with
the saw blade guard, e.g. for mitre cuts with a saw
blade swivelled by 45°.
