Extraction
WARNING
Health risk due to dust
► Always work with an extractor.
► Comply with national regulations.
A Festool mobile dust extractor with an extrac
tor hose diameter of 27 mm or 36 mm (36 mm
recommended due to the reduced risk of clog
ging) can be connected to the extractor connec
tor [6-1].
6.7
Installing the splinter guard
With 0° cuts, the splinter guard (accessory) sig
nificantly improves the quality of the cutting
edge of the sawn-off workpiece on the upper
side.
► Place the splinter guard [5-1] onto the pro
tective cover,
► Position the machine on the workpiece/
guide rail,
► Push down on the splinter guard until it
makes contact with the workpiece and
tighten it using the rotary knob [5-2],
► Saw in the splinter guard (machine at maxi
mum cutting depth and speed level 6).

Working with the machine
When working on the machine, observe
all of the initial safety notes and the fol
lowing rules:
–
Only guide the power tool towards the
workpiece when it is switched on.
–
Check the mounting fixture prior to use and
do not use the machine if it does not work
correctly.
–
Always secure the workpiece in such a way
that it cannot move during machining.
–
When working, always hold the power tool
with both hands on the handles [1-1, 1-6].
This reduces the risk of injury and is a pre
requisite for precise work.
–
Always push the saw forwards[1-2], and
never towards yourself.
–
Adapt the infeed speed to prevent the cut
ters on the saw blade from overheating and
20
prevent plastic materials from melting dur
ing cutting.
–
Make sure that all rotary knobs [3-4, 3-6]
are tightened before starting work.
–
Do not work with the machine if the elec
tronics are defective, because this may lead
to excessive speeds. You can tell if the
electronics are defective if there is no
smooth start-up or if it is not possible to
regulate the speed.
When carrying out work that produces
dust, wear a breathing mask.
7.1
Sawing along the scribe mark
The gauge marker [6-3] displays the cutting
line for 0° and 45° cuts (without a guide rail).
7.2
Cutting sections
Position the machine with the front part of the
saw table on the workpiece, switch on the ma
chine, push it down to the set cutting depth and
push it forward in the cutting direction.
7.3
Sawing cut-outs (plunge cuts)
In order to avoid kickbacks, the following
instructions must always be followed
when plunge cutting:
–
Always position the machine with the rear
edge of the saw table against a fixed stop.
When working with the guide rail, position
the machine at the kickback stop [7-1],
which is clamped to the guide rail (see
Fig. [7]; when not in use, the kickback stop
can be stored by the guide plate [7-2] of the
machine).
–
Always hold the machine securely using
both hands and plunge slowly.
Procedure
Position the machine on the workpiece and
place it against a stop (kickback stop), switch on
the machine, slowly push it down to the set cut
ting depth and push it in the cutting direction.
The marks [6-2] indicate the absolute front and
rear cutting points of the saw blade (210 mm di
ameter) when using the saw at maximum cut
ting depth with the guide rail.
