Check That The Pendulum Guard Can Move; Workpiece Clamp; Clamping The Workpiece; Workpiece Stop - Festool SYM 70 RE Manual De Instrucciones Original

English
– Do not work on the power tool if its elec­
tronics are defective as this may lead to ex­
cessive speeds.
– Before beginning work, ensure that the saw
blade cannot touch the stop rulers, work­
piece clamp, fastening clamps or other ma­
chine parts.
Always disconnect the mains plug
from the socket when the power tool
is not in use. This optimises the serv­
ice life of the electronics.
8.1 Check that the pendulum guard can
move
The pendulum guard must always be able
to move freely and close independently.
► Pull out the mains plug.
► Take hold of the pendulum guard and, as a
trial run, swivel it into the saw unit.
The pendulum guard must be easy to move
and must be almost fully lowered into the
saw unit.
Cleaning the area of the saw blade
► Always keep the area around the pendulum
guard clean.
► Clear dust and chippings by blowing out
with compressed air or using a brush.
8.2

Workpiece clamp

Proceed as follows to insert the workpiece
clamp
► Disconnect the mains plug from the socket
before installing the workpiece clamp.
► Fit the workpiece clamp [5-7] into one of
the holes [5-9]. The workpiece clamp must
be in front of the workpiece.
8.3

Clamping the workpiece

WARNING
Risk of injury
► Observe the following instructions:
– Secure fit with workpiece clamp – always
clamp the workpiece in position with the
workpiece clamp. This requires the hold-
down clamp to be resting securely on the
workpiece. (Note: Aids may be required de­
pending on the workpiece contours, e.g.
round contours). Do not process any work­
pieces that have not been securely clam­
ped.
Size – do not process workpieces that are
–
too small. In the interests of safety, the cut
22
piece remaining should be at least 30 mm
long. Small workpieces may be pulled
backwards by the saw blade and into the
gap between the saw blade and the stop
ruler. For safety reasons, the cut-off re­
maining piece should still be able to be
clamped with the workpiece clamp.
– Take particular care that workpieces are
not pulled backwards by the saw blade and
into the gap between the saw blade and the
stop ruler. The risk of this happening is es­
pecially high with horizontal mitre cuts.
Long workpieces
Provide extra support for any workpieces that
protrude over the sawing surface.
► Use a Systainer as an additional contact
area.
► Secure workpiece with workpiece clamp
provided.
Thin workpieces
During sawing, thin workpieces may wobble or
break.
► Reinforce the workpiece: Clamp it together
with wood offcuts.
Proceed as follows to clamp the workpiece
► Place the workpiece on the saw table and
push it against the stop rulers [1-9].
► Open the workpiece clamp [5-7] using the
lever [5-1].
► Turn the rotary knob [5-3] counterclock­
wise to loosen the vertical position of the
workpiece clamp.
► Lower the hold-down clamp onto the work­
piece.
► Turn the rotary knob [5-3] clockwise to lock
the vertical position of the workpiece clamp.
► Close the workpiece clamp [5-7] using the
lever [5-1].
8.4

Workpiece stop

Adjusting the mitre angle
For mitre cuts, you must adjust the stop rul­
ers [3-3] so that they do not impede the func­
tionality of the pendulum guard or come into
contact with the saw blade.
► Disconnect the mains plug from the socket
before adjusting the stop rulers.
► Open the clamping lever [3-2].
► Set the required mitre angle.
► Close the clamping lever again.
Setting the stop rulers
► Disconnect the mains plug from the socket
before adjusting the stop rulers.
► Unscrew the rotary knobs [3-1].
