Dust extraction

WARNING
Health hazard posed by dust
► Always work with an extractor.
► Comply with national regulations.
► When sawing carcinogenic materials, al­
ways connect a suitable extraction mobile
in accordance with national regulations. Do
not use the chip collection bag.
Independent extraction
► Secure the connection piece [6-2] of the
dust collection bag [6-3] at the extractor
connector [6-1] with a clockwise rotation.
► To empty, remove the connection piece of
the dust collection bag from the extractor
connector with an anti-clockwise rotation.
Festool mobile dust extractor
A Festool mobile dust extractor with a suction
hose diameter of 27/32 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].
The adapter on a 27 diameter suction hose is
inserted into the angle adapter . The adapter on
a 36 diameter suction hose is inserted over the
angle adapter .
CAUTION! A static charge may build up if no
antistatic suction hose is used. The user may
receive an electric shock and the power tool's
electronics may be damaged.
8 Working with the electric
power tool
When working on the machine, observe
all of the safety warnings that are listed
at the start as well as the following rules:
– Only guide the power tool towards the
workpiece when it is switched on.
Before each use, check that the pendulum
–
guard is working correctly using the re­
tractor lever [1-4]. Ensure that the pendu­
lum guard can move freely and does not
come into contact with the saw blade or
other parts at any cutting angle or depth.
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
8.1 Switch on/off
► Slide switch-on lock [1-2] upwards.
► Press the ON/OFF switch [1-7].
Press = ON
Release = OFF
8.2

Acoustic warning signal

Acoustic warning signals sound and the power
tool switches off in the following operating
states:
Battery flat or power tool overloaded:
peep
► Change the battery
► Reducing the load on the power tool
8.3 Sawing along the scribe mark
The cut indicators display the cutting sequence
without a guide rail:
0° cuts: [7-1]
45° cuts: [7-2]
8.4 Cutting sections
Position the saw with the front part of the saw
table on the workpiece, switch on saw and push
forward in cutting direction.
8.5 Sawing cut-outs (plunge cuts)
In order to avoid kickbacks, the following
instructions must always be followed when
plunge cutting:
– Always position saw with the rear edge of
the saw table against a fixed stop.
