Cleaning the machine regularly, espe­
cially the adjusting devices and guides, is
an important safety factor.
Observe the following instructions:
► Damaged safety devices and parts, such as
a faulty lever for changing tools [1-3], must
be properly repaired or replaced in a recog­
nised specialist workshop, unless otherwise
indicated in the operating manual.
► To ensure constant air circulation, always
keep the cooling air openings in the housing
clean and free of blockages.
► Use an extractor on all openings in order to
remove wood chips and splinters from the
power tool. Never open the protective
lid [1-7].
► The pendulum guard must always be able to
move freely and close independently. Al­
ways keep the area around the pendulum
guard clean. Clear from dust and chippings
by blowing out with compressed air or using
a brush.
► When working with plaster- and cement-
bonded fibreboards, clean the tool particu­
larly thoroughly. Clean the vents of the
power tool and on/off switch using dry, oil-
free compressed air. Otherwise, gypsum
dust deposits may build up inside the power
tool's housing and on the on/off switch and
harden when exposed to humidity. This may
impair the switching mechanism

In order to saw different materials quickly and
cleanly, Festool offers saw blades for all appli­
cations and these are specially designed for
your Festool saw.
10.2 Parallel side fence [8]
The parallel side fence (on both sides) is de­
signed to guide the saw parallel to the edge of
the workpiece [8A] and can also be used as an
extension table [8B] to achieve a straight, pre­
cise cut.
10.3 Guide rail
The guide rail enables you to make clean, accu­
rate cuts while simultaneously protecting the
surface of the workpiece from damage.
In conjunction with the extensive range of ac­
cessories, exact angled cuts, mitre cuts and fit­
ting work can be completed with the guide sys­
tem. The option of attaching the guide rail se­
curely using clamps [7-6] ensures safer work­
ing conditions.
► Adjust the guide play between the saw table
and the guide rail using the two adjustable
jaws [7-8].
