Speed adjustment
You can regulate the speed steplessly between
2000 and 5200 min
-1
using the adjusting wheel
(1.6).
This enables you to optimise the cutting speed
to suit the material (see table 1).
Constant speed
The pre-selected speed remains constant
whether the machine is in operation or in neu-
tral position.
Temperature cut-out
To prevent overheating, the safety electronics
switches the machine off when it reaches a
critical motor temperature.
Let the machine cool down for approx. 3-5
minutes before using it again.
The machine requires less time to cool down if
it is running, i.e. in neutral position.
Current limiting
Current limiting prevents permissibly high
current consumption under extreme overload.
This can lead to a decrease in the motor speed.
The motor immediately restarts after the load
is removed.
Brake
After switching-off the tool, the saw blade is
electronically brought to a standstill in 1.5 2
seconds.
4.2
Cutting depth
The cutting depth can be set at 0 55 mm:
- Press the cutting depth stop (2.3) and move
it to the desired cutting depth (the values
specified on the scale (2.1) apply to 0° cuts
without guide rail),
- Release the cutting depth stop (the cutting
depth stop notches along in 1 mm-steps).
The sawing unit can now be pressed down to
the set cutting depth.
A grub screw (M4x8 to M4x12) can be screwed
into the hole (2.2) on the cutting depth stop.
By turning the grub screw, the cutting depth
can be set even more exactly (± 0.1 mm).
4.3
Cutting angle
The sawing unit can be swivelled between 0°
and 45°:
- Loosen rotary knobs (2.4, 2.6),
- Swivel sawing unit to the desired cutting angle
(2.5),
- Retighten rotary knobs.
Note:
both end positions (0° and 45°) are set
at the factory and can be readjusted by the
after-sales service team.
4.4
Changing the saw blade
- Move lever (3.2) as far as it will go,
- Push switch lock (3.1) up and push sawing
unit down until it locks into place,
- Loosen screw (3.4) with Allen key (3.3),
- Remove saw blade,
- Clean flange (3.8, 3.10),
- Insert new saw blade.
The direction of rotation of the saw
blade (3.9) and the machine (3.7) must
be the same.
- Insert outer flange (3.10) such that the
locking pins engage into the notches on the
inner flange (3.8).
- Tighten screw (3.4),
- Put lever (3.2) back.
4.5
Setting the spacer wedge
- Move lever (3.2) as far as it will go,
- Push switch lock (3.1) up and push sawing
unit down until it locks into place,
- Loosen screw (3.6) with Allen key (3.3),
- Set spacer wedge as shown in diagram 3,
- Tighten screw (3.6),
- Put lever (3.2) back.
4.6
Dust extraction
Always connect the machine to a dust extractor.
A Festool dust extractor with an extractor hose
diameter of 36 mm or 27 mm (36 mm
recommended due to the reduced risk of clog-
ging) can be connected to the rotating extractor
connector (4.1)
4.7
Mounting the splinterguard
The splinterguard (accessories) significantly
improves the quality of the cutting edge of the
sawn workpiece on the upper side for 0° cuts.
- Attach splinterguard (5.1) onto the protective
cover,
- Place machine onto the workpiece or the guide
rail,
- Press splinterguard down until it sits on the
workpiece and tighten it with the rotary knob
(5.2).
- Saw splinterguard in (machine to maximum
cutting depth and speed range 1)
5
Working with the machine
Always secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move while being
sawed.
The machine must always be held with
both hands by the designated handles
(1.1, 1.7).
Always push the machine forwards
(1.2), never pull the machine
backwards towards you.
