greater than the thickness of the guide
wedge.
– Do not operate the saw if the guide wedge
is bent. Even the slightest problem can
cause the guard to close more slowly.
2.3 Safety instructions for the pre-
assembled saw blade
Usage
– The maximum speed specified on the saw
blade must not be exceeded and the speed
range must be adhered to.
– The pre-installed saw blade is only de­
signed for use in circular saws.
– Proceed with extreme care when unpack­
ing, packing and handling the tool (e.g. in­
stalling it in the machine). There is a risk of
injury from extremely sharp cutting edges!
– When handling the tool, wearing safety
gloves provides a more secure hold of the
tool and further reduces the risk of injury.
– Circular saw blades with cracked bodies
must be replaced. Repair is not permitted.
– Circular saw blades with a combination de­
sign (soldered saw teeth) with saw tooth
thickness smaller than 1 mm must no lon­
ger be used.
– Do not use tools with visible cracks or blunt
or damaged cutting edges.
Installation and mounting
– Tools must be clamped in such a way that
they cannot come loose during operation.
– When assembling the tools, it must be en­
sured that the clamping takes place on the
tool hub or the clamping surface of the
tool, and that the cutting edges do not
come into contact with other components.
– Do not lengthen the key or tighten by hitting
with a hammer.
– The clamping surfaces must be cleaned to
remove contamination, grease, oil and wa­
ter.
– Clamping screws must be tightened ac­
cording to the manufacturer's instructions.
– Only securely installed rings, e.g. rings that
have been pressed in or those that are held
in position by an adhesive bond, may be
used to adjust the hole diameter of circular
saw blades to the spindle diameter of the
machine. The use of loose rings is not per­
mitted.
Service and maintenance
– Repairs and sanding work may only be car­
ried out by Festool customer service work­
shops or experts.
– The tool design must not be changed.
– Deresinify and clean the tool regularly
(cleaning agent with pH between 4.5 and 8).
– Blunt edges can be resharpened on the
clamping surface to a minimum cutting
edge thickness of 1 mm.
– Only transport the tool in suitable packag­
ing – risk of injury!

Further safety instructions

–
Wear suitable personal protective equip­
ment: Ear protection, protective goggles,
dust mask for work that generates dust,
protective gloves for working with rough
materials and for changing tools.
Harmful/toxic dust may be produced dur­
–
ing your work (e.g. paint containing lead,
certain types of wood or metals). Contact
with or inhalation of this dust may pose a
risk for the operating personnel or persons
in the vicinity. Comply with the safety regu­
lations that apply in your country.
– Wear a P2 respiratory mask to protect
your health. In enclosed spaces, ensure
that there is sufficient ventilation and con­
nect a mobile dust extractor.
– This power tool cannot be installed in a
work bench. The power tool may become
unsafe and cause serious accidents if in­
stalled in benches from other manufactur­
ers or self-manufactured work benches.
– Check whether there are any signs of dam­
age to the housing components, such as
cracks or stress whitening. Have any dam­
aged components repaired before using the
power tool.
Use appropriate detection devices to look
–
for any hidden supply lines or consult your
local utility company. If the insertion tool
makes contact with live cables, it can result
in fire and electric shock. Damage to a gas
pipe can lead to an explosion. Penetration
of a water pipe can result in damage to
property.
