Service and maintenance

Always pull the plug out of the socket before
performing any type of work on the machine!
All maintenance and repair work which requires
the motor housing to be opened, must only be
carried out by an authorised service workshop.
To ensure constant air circulation, always keep the coo-
ling-air openings in the motor housing clean and free of
blockages.
The machine is equipped with self-disconnecting special
carbon brushes. If they are worn, power is interrupted
automatically and the machine comes to a standstill.

Adjusting the laser

If the laser beam does not line up with the cutting edge, you
can adjust both of the lasers. Use an Allen key screwdriver
(size 2.5) to do this. Pierce the points (3.2 to 3.7) marked
on the sticker using the Allen key to reveal the adjusting
screws located underneath.
Adjust the laser as follows:
left/right laser
3.4/3.6: Rotation on horizontal plane
3.3/3.6: Rotation on vertical plane
3.2/3.7: Adjustment parallel to the cutting plane

Correcting horizontal mitre angles

If the pointer (13.1) no longer rests on the preset mitre
angle values, you can loosen the screw (13.2) and readjust
the pointer.
If the actual (sawn) mitre cut deviates from the preset
value, you can correct this value accordingly:
– Engage the saw unit in the 0° position.
– Loosen the three screws (13.3) that secure the scale to
the saw table.
– Slide the scale together with the saw unit until the ac-
tual value is 0°. You can check this by setting an angle
between the stop ruler and the saw blade.
– Tighten the three screws (13.3) again.
– Check the angle setting by making a test cut.
9.3

Correcting vertical mitre angles

If the pointer (12.3) no longer rests on the preset value,
you can loosen the screw (12.4) and readjust this value.
If the actual value no longer corresponds with the preset
value, you can correct this value accordingly:
– Engage the saw unit in the 0° position.
– Open both screws (12.5).
– Swivel the saw unit until the actual value is 0°. You can
check this by setting an angle between the saw table and
the saw blade.
– Tighten the two screws (12.5) again.
– Check the angle setting by making a test cut.

Replacing the tabletop insert

Never work with a worn table insert (20.1), replace it with
a new one.

Accessories

Use only original Festool accessories and Festool consumab-
le material intended for this machine because these com-
ponents are designed specifi cally for the machine. Using
accessories and consumable material from other suppliers
will most likely affect the quality of your working results
and limit any warranty claims. Machine wear or your own
personal workload may increase depending on the applica-
tion. Protect yourself and your machine, and preserve your
warranty claims by always using original Festool accessories
and Festool consumable material!
Festool offers you a comprehensive range of accessories
for your circular cross-cut saw:
• Saw blades for different materials.
• Trimming attachment (workpiece support surface with
integral measurement scale): allows you to support and
machine long workpieces accurately.
• Cornice stop: support for sloping strip material and cor-
nices.
Other accessories and order numbers for accessories and
tools can be found in the Festool catalogue or on the In-
ternet under www.festool.com.
