aware of the time it takes for the blade to
stop after the switch is released.
Function of the feeler wedge [1-21] (kickback
stop function)
Every time the saw blade is replaced,
–
clean the feeler unit [5-4] by blowing it out
or using a brush. Any contamination of the
feeler unit may impair the kickback stop
function and therefore prevent the saw
blade from being stopped.
Do not operate the saw if the feeler wedge
–
is bent. Even the slightest damage can
slow the braking of the saw blade.
2.3 Safety instructions for the pre-
assembled saw blade
Usage
– The maximum speed specified on the saw
blade must not be exceeded and the speed
range must be adhered to.
– The pre-installed saw blade is only de­
signed for use in circular saws.
– Proceed with extreme care when unpack­
ing, packing and handling the tool (e.g. in­
stalling it in the machine). There is a risk of
injury from extremely sharp cutting edges!
– When handling the tool, wearing safety
gloves provides a more secure hold of the
tool and further reduces the risk of injury.
– Circular saw blades with cracked bodies
must be replaced. Repair is not permitted.
– Circular saw blades with a combination de­
sign (soldered saw teeth) with saw tooth
thickness smaller than 1 mm must no lon­
ger be used.
– Do not use tools with visible cracks or blunt
or damaged cutting edges.
Installation and mounting
– Tools must be clamped in such a way that
they cannot come loose during operation.
– When assembling the tools, it must be en­
sured that the clamping takes place on the
tool hub or the clamping surface of the
tool, and that the cutting edges do not
come into contact with other components.
– Do not lengthen the key or tighten by hitting
with a hammer.
– The clamping surfaces must be cleaned to
remove contamination, grease, oil and wa­
ter.
– Clamping screws must be tightened ac­
cording to the manufacturer's instructions.
– Only securely installed rings, e.g. rings that
have been pressed in or those that are held
22
in position by an adhesive bond, may be
used to adjust the hole diameter of circular
saw blades to the spindle diameter of the
machine. The use of loose rings is not per­
mitted.
Service and maintenance
– Repairs and sanding work may only be car­
ried out by Festool customer service work­
shops or experts.
– The tool design must not be changed.
– Deresinify and clean the tool regularly
(cleaning agent with pH between 4.5 and 8).
– Blunt edges can be resharpened on the
clamping surface to a minimum cutting
edge thickness of 1 mm.
– Only transport the tool in suitable packag­
ing – risk of injury!
