WARNING
Risk of injury
► Remove both battery packs from the power
tool before performing any work on the
power tool.
9.1
Speed control
You can continuously adjust the speed within
the speed range using the adjusting
wheel [2-10] (see "Technical data"). This ena
bles you to optimise the cutting speed to suit
each surface.
Speed range per material
Solid wood (hard, soft)
Chipboard and hardboard
Laminated wood, blockboard, veneered
and laminated panels
Laminate, mineral materials
Aluminium panels and profiles up to
19/32" (15 mm)
Plastics, fibre-reinforced plastics, paper
and fabric
Acrylic glass
Current limiting
Current limiting prevents excessive current
consumption under extreme overload, which
can lead to a decrease in the motor speed. The
motor immediately restarts after the load is re
moved.
Temperature cut-out
The power supply is restricted and the speed
reduced if the motor exceeds a certain temper
ature. The power tool continues operating at re
duced power to allow the ventilator to cool the
motor quickly. The power tool starts up again
automatically once the motor has cooled suffi
ciently.
9.2
Brake
The saw KSC 60 EB comes with an electronic
brake. The saw blade is stopped electronically
within approximately two seconds of switching
off the machine.
9.3
Dust extraction
Health hazard posed by dust
► Always work with an extractor.
► Only use a dust extractor designed to col
lect the specific type of dust and particles
from the material being cut.
► Follow OSHA and NFPA regulations to en
sure a safe work environment.
Blockages in the guard may impair safety fea
tures. To avoid blockages, it is therefore better
to work with a mobile dust extractor at full suc
tion power.
Static charge may occur when sawing (e.g.
MDF). If this is the case, work with a mobile
6
dust extractor and an antistatic suction hose.
3–6
Festool mobile dust extractor
A Festool mobile dust extractor with a suction
6
hose diameter of 1-1/16"/1-17/64" (27/32 mm)
or 1-7/16" (36 mm) (36 mm recommended due
4–6
to the reduced risk of clogging) can be connect
ed to the extractor connector [6-1].
4–6
The adapter on a 1-1/16" (27 mm) diameter
suction hose is inserted into the adapter [6-4] .
3–5
The adapter on a 1-7/16" (36 mm) diameter
suction hose is inserted over the adapter [6-4] .
4–5
CAUTION! A static charge may build up if no
antistatic suction hose is used. The user may
receive an electric shock and the power tool's
electronics may be damaged.
