The guide clearance of the saw table on the
guide rails can be set with the two setting
jaws [17.1].
The guide rails are equipped with a splinter
guard ([17.3], [18.1]), which prevents splinter
ing of the workpiece by holding the top edge of
the workpiece down as the teeth of the saw
blade move upward against it. The spliterguard
has to be cut to size before the first use:
17.1
Position the guide rail for sawing the
splinter guard on a test piece of wood.
–
Set the speed of the machine to level 6,
–
Place the machine on the rear end of the
guide rail,
–
Switch the machine on, press it down to the
set cutting depth and cut the splinterguard
along the full length without interruption.
The edge of the splinterguard now corre
sponds exactly to the cutting edge.
18.1
The splinter guard needs to be replaced if it be
comes damaged or worn:
Peel the original splinter guard [18.1] away
–
from the guide rail.
–
As needed, clean residual adhesive and de
bris from the guide rail.

Make sure the splinter guard is firmly
pressed down to the guide rail.

Position the guide rail for sawing the
splinter guard on a test piece of wood.
11.3 Multifunction table
The mutifunction table MFT/3 makes clamping
the workpiece easy and allows you to saw large
and small workpieces safely and precisely us
ing the guide system. Its many fields of applica
tion make economical and ergonomically con
venient work possible.
11.4 Saw blades, other accessories
In order to saw different materials quickly and
cleanly, Festool offers saw blades for all appli
cations that are specially designed for your
Festool circular saw.
11.5 Side-mounted cover, false joints
The cover that can be mounted on the side of
the protective cover improves the effect of dust
extraction for 0° cuts.
Simultaneously, the cover can be used as a
false joint stop for false joint widths from 3/4"
(18 mm) onwards.
11.6 SYSTAINER
Systainer
Many Festool products are shipped in a unique
system container, called "Systainer". This pro
vides protection and storage for the tool and ac
cessories. The Systainers are stackable and
can be interlocked together. They also can be
interlocked atop Festool CT dust extractors.
