In order to avoid kickbacks, the following
instructions must always be followed
when plunge cutting:
–
Always position the machine with the rear
edge of the saw table against a fixed stop.
– When working with the guide rail, position
the machine at the FS-RSP kickback stop
(accessory) [11-4], which is clamped to the
guide rail.
Procedure

position it at a stop (kickback stop).
► Switch on the machine.
► Slowly push the machine down to the set
cutting depth and push it forward in the cut­

rear cutting points of the saw blade (Ø 160 mm)
when using the saw at maximum cutting depth
with the guide rail.

Due to the high volume of dust, it is recommen­
ded to use the cover ABSA-TS55 (accessories)
which can be mounted at the side at the protec­
tive cover and a Festool mobile dust extractor.
