Festool MFT 800 Instrucciones De Servicio página 9

The guide rail is screwed in place with the
two screws (6.4) using the enclosed hexa-
gon key.
4.3 Defl ector
The defl ector (1.10) prevents that suction
hose and power cable will hook on guide
rail.
The defl ector is attached to the end of the
guide rail and secured with the rotary knob
(1.11).
4.4 Fitting the angle stop
The stop ruler has two open grooves 90°
opposite to each other and can be fastened
to the swivel segment with both grooves by
fi tting onto the square nut of the fastening
screw (7.5). The face of the guide is either
14 mm or 35 mm high.
The stop ruler is fastened to the swivel seg-
ment with the screws (7.5) so that it pro-
trudes approx. 35 mm beyond the segment.
The stop is suspended in holes 3 and 4 of the
rear row of holes (MFT 1080: holes 4 and 5)
in the 0° position (Fig. 5) and screwed tight
against the perforated plate from below with
the grip knobs.
5 Working with the MFT 800/
MFT 1080
5.1 Adjusting the angle stop (Fig. 3)
Random angles can be set at the swivel seg-
ment after raising the positioning pin (7.6),
with catches being provided for the most
commonly used angles.
Lower the guide rail so that it rests on the
stop to check the angularity.
Check the 90° angle between the stop ruler
and guide rail with a set square and adjust
as necessary.
Release screw (3.1), set an exact 90° angle
and re-tighten the screw.
Use the additional clamp (7.9) to stabilise
the stop ruler. Insert the additional clamp's
feather key into the groove in the left-hand
profi le frame, swing the rib of the additional
clamp into the groove of the stop ruler and
screw tight with the rotary knob.
If the pre-set angle stop is used in other
holes check the angularity before starting
work.
5.2 Adjusting the guide rail to the
work-piece
Lower the guide rail during sawing and rou-
ting so that it rests fl at on the workpiece.
This ensures that the workpiece is held safe-
ly with the rail.
To make sure that the guide rail does not tilt
when working with narrow workpieces, in-
sert a support under the guide rail, the same
thickness as this, in the middle between the
workpiece and support unit (4.2).
5.3 Adjusting the depth of cut when
sawing (Fig. 2)
Make sure that the depth of cut is always set
correctly in relationship to the thickness of
the workpiece. We recommend setting the
depth of cut 1-3 mm larger than the work-
piece thickness. This avoids damages to the
profi le frame.
6 Accessories
Clamping systems with fl at clamps and ver-
tical clamps are available as accessories to
ensure a safe clamping of the workpieces.
The accessory order number can be found
in your Festool catalogue or on the Internet
under "www.festool.com".
6.1 Clamping element MFT-SP, order
no. 488030 (Fig. 8)
This clamping system set consists of two fl at
clamps and two steadying devices.
The steadying devices can be inserted in the
rear set of holes in place of the angle stop
and are screwed into place from below with
a grip knob.
The rubber rest faces the workpieces and is
the actual steadying device.
The fl at clamps are inserted into a hole to
match the workpiece width with their clam-
ping levers open and screwed into place from
below with a grip knob.
The clamping shoe is pressed against the
workpiece when the clamping lever is mo-
ved.
Workpieces can also be clamped at random
angles against the angle stop with the ver-
tical clamps.
The lateral clamping of the workpieces en-
ables safe and easy unhampered surface
processing (e.g. sanding).
