• Connect the electric power tool to a suitable
extraction system.
• To protect your health, wear a P2 protective
mask.
10.1
A Festool dust extractor with an extractor hose di-
ameter of 36 mm or 27 mm (36 mm recommended
due to the reduced risk of clogging) can be con-
nected to the extractor connector (10.1)
The fl exible chip defl ector (10.2) improves dust and
chip collection. Always work with a chip defl ector
fi tted.
The chip defl ector is attached directly to the pro-
tective cover via the bracket (11.1). The hooks (11.2)
on the bracket must slot into the recesses (11.3)
on the protective cover.

When making mitre cuts, adjust the stop rulers
(12.1) so that they do not impede the pivot guard
or come into contact with the saw blade.
– Open the clamping lever (12.2).
– Slide the stop ruler until the shortest distance
from the saw blade is max. 4.5 mm.
– Close the clamping lever again.
Removing the stop ruler
For certain mitre cuts, one of the stop rulers may
need to be removed otherwise it will collide with
the saw unit.
– Turn the screw (12.3) as far as possible into the
threaded hole (downwards).
– You can now slide out the stop ruler sideways.
– After inserting the stop ruler again, unscrew the
screw three turns.
Auxiliary stop
You can insert an auxiliary stop made from wood
(13.2) into the holes (13.1) on each stop ruler to
enlarge the fence surface. This will allow you to
position larger workpieces more securely.
13.1
Note:
The screws for securing the auxiliary stops must
not protrude above the surface.
The auxiliary stops should be used only for 0°
mitre cuts.
The auxiliary stops should not affect the function
of the protective covers.
Horizontal mitre angles
You can set any horizontal mitre angle between 50°
(on the left) and 60° (on the right). Alternatively, you
can use the standard preset mitre angles.
The arrow on the pointer (14.1) indicates the cur-
rent horizontal mitre setting. The two marks on
the right and left of the pointer arrow allow you to
adjust the angle more accurately to half a degree.
The two marks must be congruent with the straight
lines on the scale.
