Festool mobile dust extractor
A Festool mobile dust extractor with a suction
hose diameter of 1-1/16"/1-17/64" (27/32 mm)
or 1-7/16" (36
mm) (36 mm recommended due
to the reduced risk of clogging) can be connect
ed to the extractor connector [7-1].
The adapter on a 1-1/16" (27 mm) diameter
suction hose is inserted into the angle adapter
[7-4]. The adapter on a 1-7/16" (36 mm) diame
ter suction hose is inserted over the angle
adapter [7-4].
CAUTION! A static charge may build up if no
antistatic suction hose is used. The user may
receive an electric shock and the power tool's
electronics may be damaged.

Working with the electric
power tool
When working on the machine, observe
all of the safety warnings that are listed
at the start as well as the following rules:
Before starting
–
Before each use, check whether the drive
unit with the saw blade correctly and fully
swivels back up into its initial position in
the protective housing. Do not use the saw
if the upper end position is not secured.
Never clamp or secure the swivelling drive
unit at a specific cutting depth. This would
mean that the saw blade is not protected.
–
Check the plunging mechanism prior to use
and do not use the machine if it does not
work correctly.
–
Check that the saw blade is securely in
place.
–
CAUTION! Risk of overheating. Before use,
make sure that the battery pack is securely
clicked into place
–
Make sure that the rotary knob [1-2] is
tightened before starting work.
–
Make sure that the extractor hose does not
snag the entire saw cut, either on the work
piece, the workpiece support or hazards on
the ground.
–
Always secure the workpiece in such a way
that it cannot move during machining.
–
Position the workpiece so that it is stress-
free and level.
During work
–
Position the saw's plate such that it is al
ways completely level during any work.
–
When working, always hold the power tool
with both hands on the handles [1-1]. This
is a prerequisite for precise work and is es
sential for plunge-cutting. Plunge into the
workpiece slowly and evenly.
–
Only guide the power tool towards the
workpiece when it is switched on.
–
Always push the saw forwards [11-2], and
never towards yourself.
–
Adapt the infeed speed to prevent the cut
ters on the saw blade from overheating and
prevent plastic materials from melting dur
ing cutting. The harder the material to be
sawn, the lower the feed speed needs to be.
–
Make sure that the guard completely sur
rounds the saw blade before placing the
saw on the worktop or on the ground.
9.1
Switch on/off
Slide the switch-on lock [1-6] upwards
and press the on/off switch [1-7] (press =
ON / release = OFF).
Pressing the switch-on lock unlocks the plung
ing mechanism. The saw unit can then be
moved downwards. This causes the saw blade
to emerge from the protective cover.
