Using the chip guard
The chip guard [1-1] prevents chips flying away and
improves the efficiency of the chip extraction sys-
tem.
Using minimal pressure, push the chip guard
[1-1] downwards.
Changing saw table
Open the change lever [1-9].
Removing the saw table downwards.
Assembly is performed in reverse sequence to
removal. Ensure that the saw table is firmly
seated in the guide.
Instead of the saw table, the angle table WT-PS 400
or adaptation table ADT-PS 400 can be installed at
the support.
Never saw without the saw table, or one of
the other tables offered in the Festool acces-
sories program.
Inserting the splinterguard
The splinterguard prevents the edges of the mate-
rial from splintering during the cut, even at the end
where the saw blade exits the material.
Switch off the machine and slide the splinter-
guard [3-1] into the guide [3-2] and up to the
saw blade,
Switch on the jigsaw,
On a level surface, slide in the splinterguard
(not using your hand!)while the machine is op-
erating until it is flush with the front edge of the
saw base (speed setting 5). This beds in the
splinterguard.
When it is worn, push the splinterguard approx.
3 mm further to the rear and continue using it.
To guarantee reliable operation of the splinter-
guard, it must seal tightly on both sides of the
saw blade. A new splinterguard should there-
fore be fitted after every saw blade change to
guarantee splinter-free cuts.
