– Never reach into the chip ejector with your
hands. Rotating parts may injure your hands.
– Dust that is harmful to your health may be pro-
duced as you work (e.g. paint products that con-
tain lead and some types of wood or metal).
Contact with or inhalation of this dust may pose a
risk for the operating personnel or persons in the
vicinity. Observe the safety regulations that apply
in your country.
Wear a P2 respiratory mask to protect your
health. In enclosed spaces, ensure that
there is sufficient ventilation and connect a
mobile dust extractor.
– Replace any sawn-off or damaged limit stops.
Damaged limit stops may be ejected when you
work with the saw. Any persons standing in the
vicinity of the saw may be injured.
– Always use original Festool accessories and
consumables. Only accessories tested and ap-
proved by Festool are safe and perfectly adapted
to the machine and application.
Do not look directly at the light.Optical radi-
ation can damage the eyes.

Other risks

In spite of compliance with all relevant design reg-
ulations, dangers may still present themselves
when the machine is operated, e.g.:
– Touching rotating parts from the side: Saw blade,
clamping flange, flange screw,
– Touching live parts when the housing is open and
the mains plug is still plugged in,
– Workpiece parts being thrown off,
– Parts of damaged tools being thrown off,
– Noise emissions,
– Dust emissions.
2.5

Aluminium processing

When sawing aluminium, the following mea-
sures must be taken for safety reasons:
–Install an upstream residual-current cir-
cuit breaker (FIG, PRCD).
– Connect the power tool to a suitable dust ex-
tractor.
– Regularly clean dust deposits from the motor
housing on the power tool.
– Use an aluminium saw blade.
Wear protective goggles.
2.6

Emission levels

Typically, the noise levels that are determined in ac-
cordance with EN 62841 (see EC declaration of con-
formity) are as follows:
Sound pressure level
Noise level
Uncertainty
CAUTION
Noise generated when working
Damage to hearing

Always use ear protection.
The specified emission values (vibration, noise)
– are used to compare machines.
– They are also used for making preliminary esti-
mates regarding vibration and noise loads during
operation.
– They represent the primary applications of the
power tool.
Increase possible for other applications, with other
insertion tools or if not maintained adequately. Take
note of idling and downtimes of machine!

Intended use

The power tool is a stationary unit designed for
sawing blocks of wood, plastic, aluminium profiles
and similar materials. Do not use it to process oth-
er materials, in particular steel, concrete and min-
eral materials.

use in this power tool.
The saw blades must comply with the following da-
ta:
– Saw-blade diameter 216 mm,
– Cutting width 2,3 mm (corresponds to the tooth
width),
– Location hole 30 mm,
– Standard blade thickness 1,6 mm,
– Suitable for speeds above 5000 min
Do not use sanding discs, spacers or spindle rings.
Festool saw blades for woodworking comply with
EN 847-1.
The machine is designed and approved for use by
trained persons or specialists only.
Only saw materials for which the relevant
saw blade has been designed.
The user is liable for improper or non-in-
tended use.
