(accessory) [11-4], which is clamped to the
guide rail.
Procedure
► Place the machine on the workpiece and
position it at a stop (kickback stop).
► Switch on the machine.
► Slowly push the machine down to the set
cutting depth and push it forward in the cut
ting direction.
The marks [9-1] indicate the absolute front and
rear cutting points of the saw blade (Ø 6‑1/4"
(160 mm)) when using the saw at maximum
cutting depth with the guide rail.
9.11 Gypsum and cement-bound fibreboards
Due to the high volume of dust, it is recom
mended to use the cover ABSA-TS55 (accesso
ries) which can be mounted at the side at the
protective cover and a Festool mobile dust ex
tractor.

should always be carried out by an author
ised service workshop.

Observe the following instructions:
► Damaged safety devices and parts, such as
a faulty lever for changing tools [1-5], must
be properly repaired or replaced in a recog
nised specialist workshop, unless otherwise
indicated in the operating manual.
► Check the condition and fault-free function
ing of the recuperating springs, which push
the entire drive mechanism bearing into the
upper protected end positions.
► To ensure constant air circulation, always
keep the cooling air openings in the housing
clean and free of blockages.
► Use an extractor on all openings in order to
remove wood chips and splinters from the
power tool. Never open the protective
lid [1-22].
► Keep the contacts on the power tool, charg
er and battery pack clean.
► When working with plaster- and cement-
bonded fibreboards, clean the tool particu
larly thoroughly. Clean the vents of the
power tool and on/off switch using dry, oil-
free compressed air. Otherwise, gypsum
dust deposits may build up inside the power
tool's housing and on the on/off switch and
harden when exposed to humidity. This may
impair the switching mechanism
–
Before each use of the saw, check that the
kickback stop is functioning properly (see
section
9.7
).
Check all warnings on the electric power tool
for readability and completeness. Replace
missing or illegible warnings.
10.1 Reconditioned saw blades
You can use the adjusting screw [10-1] to pre
cisely set the cutting depth for reconditioned
saw blades.
► Set the cutting depth stop [10-2] to 0 mm
(with guide rail).
► Unlock the saw unit and push it downwards
as far as the stop.
► Screw the adjusting screw [10-1] in until
the saw blade comes into contact with the
workpiece.
