Safety instructions
Please read the enclosed safety notes
before using the machine.
- The operator must have sufficient skills for
setup, adjustment and operation.
- Any machine faults, including protection
devices and tools, should be reported
immediately.
- Only use the machine if protection devices
are set correctly, the machine is fully
operational and has been well maintained.
- Ensure that the floor around the machine is
level, in good condition and free of loose
objects (e.g. chips and offcuts).
- Do not remove offcuts or other workpiece
parts from the cutting area while the machine
is still running and until the saw blade stops.
- Once switched off, the saw blade must not be
braked using lateral counter-pressure.
- The pendulum protective cover must be able
to move freely; it must not become stuck in
the open position.
- Wear suitable protective
equipment:
ear protection, safety goggles,
dust mask when carrying out
work which creates dust, and
protective
working with rough materials
or when changing the saw
blade.
1.2
Intended use
The machine is intended for the sawing of wood,
plastic or aluminium strips in accordance with
normal use.
The machine must not be used to work on any
other materials, in particular steel, concrete and
mineral-based materials.
To saw aluminium, only use aluminium-
cutting saw blades provided by Festool
(see Festool catalogue).

Power supply and startup
The mains voltage should correspond to the
specification on the power output label.
Fuse protection for 230 V - 240 V:
10 A fuse or suitable electric cutout.
Switch (1.4) is for switching on / off
(I = ON, 0 = OFF).
The switch can only be operated once the lever
(1.5) for unlocking the saw unit has been
actuated.

Machine settings
Always disconnect the mains plug from
the socket before making any adjust-
ments or carrying out maintenance
work on the machine.
3.1
Mounting the machine
Position the machine on level ground or use
screw clamps (see Fig. 1) to secure the machine
to a level, stable base (e.g. workbench), so
that it cannot move during use.
3.2
Electronic speed control
The adjusting knurl (1.2) is used to
adjust the speed in infinite variables
ELECTRONIC
between 2,500 min
This enables you to optimize the cutting speed
to suit the respective material (see table 1.3).
