Distraction or a potential jam can be dan
gerous.
–
Always use saw blades with correct size
and shape (diamond versus round) of ar
bour holes. Saw blades that do not match
the mounting hardware of the saw will run
off-centre, causing loss of control.
Never use damaged or incorrect saw
–
blade mounting means such as flanges,
saw blade washers, bolts or nuts. These
mounting means were specially designed
for your saw, for safe operation and opti
mum performance.
Never stand on the table saw, do not use it
–
as a stepping stool. Serious injury could
occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting
tool is accidentally contacted.
–
Make sure that the saw blade is installed
to rotate in the proper direction. Do not
use grinding wheels, wire brushes, or
abrasive wheels on a table saw. Improper
saw blade installation or use of accessories
not recommended may cause serious in
jury.

Further safety instructions
–
Wear suitable personal protective equip
ment: Ear protection, protective goggles,
dust mask for work that generates dust
and protective gloves for changing tools.
–
Faults on the power tool, including the sep
arating guards or the tool, must be repor
ted to maintenance staff immediately. The
machine must not be used until the fault
has been eliminated.
–
Check the plug and cable on a regular ba
sis and, if they are damaged, have them re
placed by an authorised customer service
workshop.
–
Use of your own aids e.g. rulers, etc. is not
permitted.
–
Only for AS/NZS: The tool shall always be
supplied via residual current device with a
rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

Safety instructions for the pre-
assembled saw blade
Usage
–
The maximum speed specified on the saw
blade must not be exceeded and the speed
range must be adhered to.
–
Pre-assembled saw blade intended exclu
sively for use in circular saws.
28
–
Proceed with extreme care when unpack
ing, packing and handling the tool (e.g. in
stalling it in the machine). There is a risk of
injury from extremely sharp cutting edges!
–
When handling the tool, wearing safety
gloves provides a more secure hold of the
tool and further reduces the risk of injury.
–
Circular saw blades with cracked bodies
must be replaced. Repair is not permitted.
–
Circular saw blades with a combination de
sign (saw teeth soldered in) with saw tooth
dimensions smaller than 1 mm may no lon
ger be used.
–
Do not use tools with visible cracks or blunt
or damaged cutting edges.
Installation and mounting
–
Tools must be clamped in such a way that
they cannot come loose during operation.
–
When assembling the tools, it must be en
sured that the clamping takes place on the
tool hub or the clamping surface of the
tool, and that the cutting edges do not
come into contact with other components.
–
Do not lengthen the key or tighten by hitting
with a hammer.
–
The clamping surfaces must be cleaned to
remove contamination, grease, oil and wa
ter.
–
Clamping screws must be tightened ac
cording to the manufacturer's instructions.
–
Only securely installed rings, e.g. rings that
have been pressed in or those that are held
in position by an adhesive bond, may be
used to adjust the hole diameter of circular
saw blades to the spindle diameter of the
machine. The use of loose rings is not per
mitted.
Service and maintenance
–
Repairs and sanding work may only be car
ried out by Festool customer service work
shops or experts.
–
The tool design must not be changed.
–
Deresinify and clean the tool regularly
(cleaning agent with pH between 4.5 and 8).
–
Blunt edges can be resharpened on the
clamping surface to a minimum cutting
edge thickness of 1 mm.
–
Only transport the tool in suitable packag
ing – risk of injury!
