6 Accessories
The order numbers of the accessories listed below can be
found in the Festool catalogue or on the Internet under
www.festool.com.
6.1 The parallel stop
The parallel stop can be used for cutting widths up to 180
mm. The parallel stop is fixed to the front of the saw bench
with the stop adapter:
- Insert the stop adapter (13.1) into the holder on the saw
bench.
- Tighten screw (13.4)
- Insert the parallel stop (13.2) into the stop adapter.
- Turn the rotary head (13.3) and by this means clamp the
parallel stop firmly. You can see the cutting width set on the
scale on the front edge of the stop adapter.
6.2 The Festool guide system FS
The guide rails, which are available in different lengths, allow
for precise, clean cuts and simultaneously protect the
workpiece surface against damage. The guide rail is 5 mm
thick. Hence, when the guide rail is used, always add 5 mm
when setting the cutting depth on the cutting depth scale.
In conjunction with the extensive range of accessories, exact
angled cuts, mitre cuts and fitting work can be completed
with the guide system.
The option of securing using G-clamps ensures a firm hold
and safe working.
The guide clearance of the saw table on the guide rails can be
set with the two setting jaws (14.1, 14.3). To do this, set the
circular saw on the guide rail (14.4), and, with a screwdriver
(14.2) adjust the screws on both guide jaws so that the circular
saw can still be moved easily on the guide rail, but free of
play.
The guide rails are equipped with a splinterguard (14.5), which
has to be cut to size before the first use:
- Set the speed of the machine to level 6,
- Place the machine on the rear end of the guide rail,
- Switch the machine on, press it down to the set cutting depth
and cut the splinterguard along the full length without
interruption. The edge of the splinterguard now corresponds
exactly to the cutting edge.
6.3 Multifunction table
The mutifunction table, which is available in two sizes (MFT
800, MFT 1080), makes clamping the workpiece easy and
allows you to saw large and small workpieces safely and
precisely using the guide system. Its many fields of application
make economical and ergonomically convenient work possible.
6.4 Saw blades, other accessories
In order to be able to saw different materials quickly and
cleanly, Festool offers saw blades that are specially designed
for your machine.
