– After dropping check the power tool and
the saw blade for damage. Have the dam­
aged parts repaired before use. Damaged
machines may lead to injuries and cause
the machine to be unsafe.
– Always secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move while being
processed.
– Always hold the machine with two hands at
the handles [1-1] when performing work.
This reduces the risk of injury and is a pre­
requisite for precise work.
Always push the machine forwards [10-2],
–
never draw the machine towards yourself.
– Adapt the fast-feed speed to prevent the
cutters on the saw blade from overheating
and prevent plastic materials from melting
during cutting.
Make sure that all rotary knobs [1-2] are
–
tightened before starting work.
– Check that the saw blade is seated secure­
ly.
– Static charge may occur when sawing (e.g.
MDF).
For work that generates dust, wear a
dust mask.
9.1

Switch on/off

Slide the switch-on lock [1-5] upwards
and press the on/off switch [1-6] (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.
9.2

Acoustic warning signal

Acoustic warning signals sound and the ma­
chine switches off in the following operating
states:
peep ― ―
► Change the battery
► Reduce the machine load

Sawing along the scribe mark

The cutting indicator [8-2] displays the cutting
line for 0° and 45° cuts (without guide rail).

9.4 Cutting sections
Place the machine with the front part of the saw
table on the workpiece, switch the machine on,
press it down to the preset cutting depth and
push it forward in the cutting direction.
9.5 Sawing cut outs (plunge cuts)
In order to avoid kickbacks, the following
instructions must be observed without
fail when plunge cutting:
– Always place the machine with the rear
edge of the saw table against a fixed stop.
– When working with the guide rail, place the
machine against the kickback stop FS-RSP
(accessory) [10-4] clamped to the guide
rail.
Procedure
► Position the machine on the workpiece and
push up against a stop (kickback stop).
► Switch on the machine.
► Push down the machine slowly to the preset
cutting depth and then push forwards in the
cutting direction.
The markings [8-1] indicate the absolute front
and the absolute rear cutting points of the saw
blade (dia. 6-1/4" (160 mm)) when using the
saw at maximum cutting depth with the guide
rail.
9.6

Gypsum and cement-bound fibreboards

Due to the high volume of dust, it is recom­
mended to use the cover ABSA-TS55 (accesso­
ries) which can be mounted at the side at the
protective cover and a Festool mobile dust ex­
tractor.
