Changing the saw blade

CAUTION
Risk of injury from hot and sharp tool
► Do not use any blunt or faulty tools.
► Wear protective gloves.
► Swivel the machine to 0° before replacing
the saw blade and adjust the maximum cut­
ting depth.
► Turn the lever [5-3] as far as the stop.
Operate lever [5-3] only when the machine
is at a standstill!
► Push the saw down until it engages.
► Open the screw [5-6] using the Allen
key [5-2].
► Remove the saw blade [5-7].
► Insert a new saw blade.
The direction of rotation of the saw
blade [5-8] and machine [5-4] must match!
Serious injuries may occur in the event of
non-compliance.
► Insert the outer flange [5-9] so that the
pulling peg engages in the recess of the in­
ner flange.
Check screws and flange for dirt con-
tamination and only use clean and un-dam­
aged parts!
► Tighten the screw [5-6].
► Pull the lever [5-3] back.
7.6 Fitting the viewing window/splinter
guard [6]
The viewing window (transparent) [6-1] pro­
vides a view of the saw blade and optimises

dust extraction.

With 0° cuts, the splinter guard (green) [6-2]
also improves the quality of the cutting edge of
the sawn-off workpiece on the upper side.
► Insert the splinter guard [6-2].
► Screw the rotary knob [6-3] through the
long hole in the splinter guard.
Make sure that the nut [6-4] is seated
securely in the splinter guard.
Only use the rotary knob supplied with
your plunge-cut saw. The rotary knob of
another saw may be too long and jam the saw
blade.
You must bed in the splinter guard before using
it:
► Set the machine to maximum cutting depth.
22
► Set the machine speed to 6.
7.7 Dust extraction
WARNING
Heath hazard posed by dust
► Always work with an extractor.
► Comply with national regulations.
Independent extraction
► Secure the connection piece [7-2] of the
dust collection bag [7-3] at the extractor
connector [7-1] with a clockwise rotation .
► To empty remove the connection piece [7-2]
of the dust collection bag from the extractor
connector [7-3] with an anti-clockwise rota­
tion [7-1].
Festool mobile dust extractor
A Festool mobile dust extractor with an extrac­
tor hose diameter of 27 mm or 36 mm (36 mm
recom-mended due to the reduced risk of clog­
ging) can be connected to the extractor connec­
tor [7-1]
The adapter on a suction hose Ø 27 is inserted
into the angle adapter [7-4]. The adapter on a
suction hose Ø 36 is inserted over the angle
adapter [7-4].
Static charge may occur if an anti-static suction
hose is not used. The user may suffer an elec­
tric shock.

Working with the machine

When working on the machine, observe
all of the safety warnings that are listed
at the start and the following rules:
– Only guide the power tool towards the
workpiece when it is switched on.
– Check the mounting fixture prior to use and
do not use the machine if it does not work
correctly.
– 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 way
that it cannot move during machining.
– When working, always hold the power tool
with both hands on the handles [1-1]. This
reduces the risk of injury and is a prerequi­
site for precise work.
Always push the saw forwards [10-2], and
–
never towards yourself.
