cutting of wood with straight cut ting lines as well as
mitre angles to 45° while resting firmly on the work
piece. With suitable saw blades, non-ferrous metal,
light building materials and plastic can also be sawed.
Only use saw blades with the following dimensions:
– saw blades according to EN 847-1
– Saw blade diameter: 350 mm
– cutting width: 3.5 mm
– location hole: 30 mm
– standard blade thickness: Max. 2.5 mm
– suitable for speeds of up to 2200 rpm
Never use machine with any abrasive wheels.
Festool saw blades comply with EN 847-1.
Only saw materials for which the relevant saw blade
has been designed.

5.2 Machine-related safety notices

Cutting procedures
a) DANGER: Keep hands away from the cutting
area and the saw blade. Keep your second hand
on the auxiliary handle or the motor housing. If
both hands are holding the circular saw, they can
not be cut by the saw blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the work. The blade guard
can not protect you from the saw blade below the
work.
c) Adjust the depth-of-cut to the thick ness of the
work. It should not be vis ible below the work by
more than the height of a full tooth.
d) Never hold the workpiece being cut in your hand
or across your leg. Se cure the work on a fi rm
support. It is important to secure the work properly
to minimize the danger of body exposure, blade
binding or loss of control.
e) Hold the power tool only by the in sulated gripping
surfaces when per forming an operation where
the cut ting tool may run into hidden wiring or its
own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock
the opera tor.
f) Always use a ripping guide or straight edge guide
for length cuts. This im proves the precision of the
cut and re duces the possibility of blade binding.
g) Always use saw blades with the cor rect size and
the matching arbour shape (diamond or round).
Blades that do not match the mounting hard ware
of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of
control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers
or screws. The blade washers and screws were
specially designed for your saw for optimum per-
formance and safety of operation.
Kickback causes and related warnings
- Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound
or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled
saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the
operator;
- When the blade is pinched or bound tight ly by the
kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor
reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the
operator;
- If the blade becomes twinsted or mis aligned in the
cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig
into the top surface of the wood causing the blade
to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the
operator.
