Cleaning the machine regularly, espe­
cially the adjusting devices and guides, is
an important safety factor.
Observe the following instructions:
► To ensure constant air circulation, always
keep the cooling air openings in the housing
clean and free of blockages.
► Use an extractor on all openings of the pow­
er tool to remove wood chips and splinters.
► The pendulum guard must always be able to
move freely and close independently. Al­
ways keep the area around the pendulum
guard clean. Clear from dust and chippings
by blowing out with compressed air or using
a brush.

10.1 Saw blades, other accessories
In order to saw different materials quickly and
cleanly, Festool offers saw blades for all appli­
cations and these are specially designed for
your Festool portable circular saw.
10.2 Guide rail
The guide rail enables you to make clean, accu­
rate cuts while simultaneously protecting the
surface of the workpiece from damage.
In conjunction with the extensive range of ac­
cessories, exact angled cuts, mitre cuts and fit­
ting work can be completed with the guide sys­
tem. The option of attaching the guide rail se­
curely using clamps [8-7] ensures safer work­
ing conditions.
► Adjust the guide play between the saw table
and the guide rail using the two adjustable
jaws [8-8].
Bed in the splinter guard before using the
guide rail for the first time[8-5]:
► Position saw with the entire guide plate at
the rear end of the guide rail.
► Swivel saw to 0° position and set maximum
cutting depth.
► Switch on saw.
► Slowly drop the splinter guard across the
entire length without setting down.
The edge of the splinter guard now corresponds
exactly to the cutting edge.

10.3 Cross cutting guide rail

The cross cutting guide rail is designed for saw­
ing wood and panel materials.
It enables precise and clean cuts, in particular
angled cuts can be performed simply and with
repeat accuracy. The saw automatically moves
back to the initial position after the sawing
process.
Observe the instructions in the operating man­
ual for the FSK cross cutting guide rail
