Saw blades, other accessories

In order to saw different materials quickly and
cleanly, Festool offers saw blades for all applica-
tions that are specially designed for your Festool
portable circular saw.
Guide rail
The guide rail enables you to make clean, accurate
cuts while simultaneously protecting the surface of
the workpiece from damage.
In conjunction with the extensive range of accesso-
ries, exact angled cuts, mitre cuts and fitting work
can be completed with the guide system. The option
of attaching the guide rail securely using clamps
[8-7] ensures safer working conditions.

Adjust the guide play between the saw table and
the guide rail using the two adjustable jaws [8-
8].
The splinterguard [8-5] requires breaking in be-
fore first usage:

Position saw at the very end of the guide rail, so
that the guide plate is level.

Swivel saw to 0° position and set to maximum
cutting depth.

Switch on saw.

Slowly push saw along the entire length of the
rail.
The edge of the splinterguard now corresponds ex-
actly to the cutting edge.

Cross cutting guide rail

The cross cutting guide rail's intended use is saw-
ing wood and panel materials.
It allows precise and clean cuts, especially angled
cuts can be carried out easily and a high repeat ac-
curacy. The saw retreats automatically into the ini-
tal position.
 The splinterguard must be broken in before
first use, see chap. Guide rail.
Every time before use, check that the cross
cutting guide rail is retracted correctly and
have it repaired, if necessary. Never use if
automatic retraction is not operating cor-
rectly.
Connect saw to the cross cutting guide rail

Slide saw onto the cross cutting guide rail in
sawing direction.
The saw engages in the sliding block [9-2] .
The quick fastener [9-1] locks in behind the saw
table.
The saw is securely connected to the cross cutting
guide rail.
