
Tighten the screw [3-6] using the Allen key [3-
5] until the jaws are almost touching the saw
blade.
NOTE
Damage to the machine or saw blade

Do not tighten the screw [3-6] too firmly! It must
be possible to move the saw blade slightly.
Ejecting saw blade

When ejecting the saw blade, hold the electric
power tool such that no persons or animals can
be injured.

Push the saw blade ejection [3-3] forwards as
far as the stop.

A tool change is only possible when the tool
holder is located in the upper position!
If the saw blade is stuck and cannot be changed:
Operate the jigsaw at high speed for 3 - 10 seconds.
Actuate the saw blade ejection [3-3] again.
7.2

Using the chip guard

The chip guard [3-1] prevents chips from flying
away and improves the efficiency of the chip ex-
traction system.

Using minimal pressure, push the chip guard
[3-1] downwards.
7.3

Inserting the splinterguard

The splinterguard ensures a smooth, splinter-free
cutting edge, even when exiting the material.

Switch off the machine and slide down the
splinterguard [4-1] into the guide [4-2] and up
to the saw blade,

Switch on the jigsaw,

On a level surface, slide in the splinterguard
(not using your hand!) while the machine is op-
erating until it is level with the front edge of the
saw base (speed setting 5). This breaks in the
splinterguard.

If machine shows obvious signs of wear, push
the splinterguard approx. 3 mm further to the
rear and continue using it.

To guarantee reliable operation of the splinter-
guard, it must seal tightly on both sides of the
saw blade. A new splinterguard should there-
fore be fitted after every saw blade change to
guarantee splinter-free cuts.
7.4

Changing saw table


Open the change lever [1-8].
18

Removing the saw table downwards.

Assembly is performed in reverse sequence to
removal. Ensure that the saw table is firmly
seated in the guide.
Instead of the saw table, the angle table WT-PS 400
or adaptation table ADT-PS 400 can be installed at
the support.
Never saw without the saw table, or one of
the other tables offered in the Festool acces-
sories program.
7.5

Dust extraction

WARNING
Dust hazard

Dust can be hazardous to health. Always work
with a dust extractor.

Always read applicable national regulations be-
fore extracting hazardous dust.
The extraction adapter [5-3] allows jigsaws to be
connected to a dust extractor (hose diameter 27
mm).

Insert the extraction adapter into the rear open-
ing of the saw table so that the hook [5-2] en-
gages in the [5-1] recess.

To remove the extraction adapter, press the
hook [5-2].

Due to the low power consumption of the ma-
chine (low energy consumption), dust extractors
with an automatic switch-on function will some-
times only start up when the actual cut is made.

Set the dust extractor to continuous operation
for special applications (e.g. low stroke rate,
soft wood).
7.6

Adjusting the pendulum stroke

In order to saw different materials with the proper
rate of advance the pendulum stroke can be adjust-
ed. Set the required stroke via the pendulum stroke
switch [1-11]:
Position 0 = pendulum stroke disabled
Position 3 = maximum pendulum stroke
Recommended pendulum stroke setting
Softwood, chip board, wood fibreboard
Blockboard, plywood, plastic
Ceramics
Aluminium, non-ferrous metals
Steel, hardwood
