Risk of injury!
Whenever you replace a saw
blade, always check that it is securely in
place. If a clamping flange is loose, the cut-
ting edges of the saw blade may break off, and if a
screw is loose, the saw blade may become de-
tached.

Dust extraction
Festool mobile dust extractor
A Festool mobile dust extractor with an extractor
hose diameter of 27 mm or 36 mm (36 mm is rec-
ommended due to the reduced risk of clogging) can
be connected to the extractor connector
[5-1]
at
the elbow.
– Static charge may occur if an anti-static suction
hose is not used. The user may suffer an electric
shock.
The extractor connector
[5-1]
can be rotated to
the required position when carrying out work
that does not require dust extraction.

Working with the electric power tool
Please observe all mentioned safety infor-
mations and the following rules when work-
ing:
– Only guide the machine against the workpiece
when it is switched on.
– Check the function of the pendulum guard prior
to use and do not use the electric power tool if it
does not slide in and out easily.
– Always secure the workpiece in such a manner
that it cannot move while being processed.
– Always hold the machine with two hands at the
handles
[1-1]
when performing work. This re-
duces the risk of injury and is a prerequisite for
precise work.
– Always push the saw forwards
[7-8]
, and never
towards yourself.
– Adapt the infeed speed to prevent the cutters on
the saw blade from overheating and prevent
plastic materials from melting during cutting.
– Make sure that the knob
[1-12]
is tightened be-
fore starting work.
– Do not use the machine when the electronics are
faulty because the machine may operate at ex-
cessive speeds. An absence of the smooth start-
up function or speed control indicates that the
electronics are faulty.
