Switching On And Off - Festool DSC-AG 230 Manual De Instrucciones

- Test new cutting discs by letting them run for
about one minute with no load.
- Unbalanced or vibrating discs should not be
used and should be discarded.
- Protect grinding discs from shock, impact and
lubricants.
- If the grinding and cutting wheels are worn
down to the mark on the wheel guard (see the
arrow sign), they should be replaced with new
ones. This maintains the optimum grinding and
cutting performance of the machine (periph-
eral speed of the grinding and cutting wheels).
 Push the arresting button [1-1] and push the
cover in.
 Release the arresting button [1-1] and let the
cover be arrested when it gets to the set depth.
 Unlock with button [2-6] and fully open the disc
cover.
 Clean the fl ange [7-4] and clamping nut [7-2],
as well as the clamping faces of the cutting
disc [7-3].
 Put the fl ange [7-4] on the grinder's spindle
with the shoulder facing outward.
 Put on the disc [7-3]; take care to comply with
the prescribed direction of rotation (arrow on
the disc vs. arrow on the machine). The fl ange
shoulder must exactly fi t in the disc's opening.
 Screw on the clamping nut [7-2] with the shoul-
der facing outward (from the disc), press on the
spindle arrest and tighten with wrench [7-1].
 Close the disc cover.
 Before switching on, check free rotational
movement of the disc.
8.2 Guide system
WARNING
Only use discs of thickness up to 3 mm!
Use the guide bar [8-1] for accurate cuts.
The side clearance of the disc guiding can be set
with the aid of the adjusting screws [1-8].
Guide bars
On the bottom face of the guide bar there are anti-
skid strips, which ensure safe contact and prevent
the workpiece from scratching.
The bar can also be secured with the aid of special
clamps FSZ 300 [8-2], pushed into the special
guide grooves – fi gure [8]. Safe guiding on uneven
surfaces is thus enabled.
WARNING
The guide bars are equipped with burr protec-
tor, which must be cut off before the fi rst use.
Connector
Depending on the particular application and the
workpiece size, several guide bars can be con-
nected with the aid of a connector spring [8-3]
– fi gure [8]. Fast connection of guide bars can
be secured by screws in the threaded openings.
9 Activation
WARNING
Risk of accident if the machine is operated us-
ing unauthorised voltages or frequencies.
 The mains voltage and the frequency of the
power source must correspond with the spec-
ifi cations on the machine's name plate.
 In North America, only Festool machines with
the voltage specifi cations 120 V/60 Hz may
be used.
Set the sliding stop for cut depth [2-8] on scale
[2-7] (top edge of the stop) to the requested depth
of the cut – loosen and tighten the stop screw [2-
9] as necessary.
The cut depth scale is valid for cutting without a
bar.
The scale is for orientation only. The actual depth
of the cut may be affected by, for example, manu-
facturing tolerances or the wear of the diamond
disc's segment. If en exact depth is required, it
is necessary to measure the actual depth on a
test cut.
