English
- Do not use circular saws for cutting slots
(grooves in workpiece).
- Before transporting the machine, make sure
that the top guard covers the top section of the
saw blade.
- Do not use the top guard as a handle for trans-
portation.
- When not in use, store the push stick in the
accessory holder provided on the machine.
- Use only original Festool accessories and aids.
- Use of your own aids e.g. push stick, rulers, etc.
is not permitted.
- Before commencing work, check that the guard
and splinter guard can move freely and are rest-
ing on the table.
- To prevent the saw blade from overheating or
the plastic from melting, set the correct speed
for the cutting material and do not use excess
pressure when cutting.
- When cutting metal, switch on the saw using a
residual current circuit breaker.
- Check the plug and the cable regularly and
should either become damaged, have them
replaced by an authorised after-sales service
workshop.
5.4 Emission levels
Typically, the noise levels that are determined in
accordance with EN 62841 (see EC declaration of
conformity) are as follows:
Sound pressure level L
PA
= 84 dB(A)
Sound power level L
WA
= 98 dB(A)
Measuring uncertainty allowance K = 3 dB
CAUTION
The noise produced during work may damage
your hearing.
f
Wear ear protection!
- The specified noise emission levels have been
measured in accordance with the standard test-
ing method and can be used to compare tools.
- The specified noise emissions can also be used
for making preliminary estimates regarding
noise load.
CAUTION
The noise emissions during actual use of the
power tool can differ from the declared val-
ues depending on the ways in which the tool
is used especially what kind of workpiece is
processed.
f
Identify safety measures to protect the oper-
ator that are based on an estimation of ex-
posure in the actual conditions of use (tak-
ing account of all parts of the operating cycle
such as the times when the tool is switched
off and when it is running idle in addition to
the trigger time).
5.5 Other risks
In spite of compliance with all relevant design
regulations, dangers may still present them-
selves when the machine is operated, e.g.:
- Workpiece parts being thrown off,
- Parts of damaged tools being thrown off,
- Noise emissions,
- Wood dust emissions.
6 Set-up, operation
WARNING
Risk of accident if the machine is operated us-
ing the incorrect voltage or frequency.
f
The line voltage and frequency of the power
supply must match those specified on the
machine's rating plate.
f
Only Festool machines with a rated voltage of
120 Volt may be used in North America.
f
Before use always inspect the flexible lead
and the plug. Have the defects repaired by a
specialist repair shop.
f
Outside the premise use only approved ex-
tension leads and cable connections.
6.1 Setting up the machine

el, in good condition and free of loose objects
(e.g. chips and offcuts).
L
The machine can be set up with or without
the legs unfolded.
f
To unfold the legs: Loosen the four rotary
knobs
[1-11] all the way.
f
