of the saw blade.

- Use only sharp saw blades in perfect con dition.

- Uncoated saw blades can be protected from

corrosion with a thin coat of acid free oil.

- Resin and glue on the saw blade cause poor

cutting results. Therefore, clean the saw blade

immediately after use.

8.1 Working different materials

Wood

The proper selection of the saw blade is depend-

ent on the type and quality of the wood as well as

whether the wood is to be sawed along or across the

grain. Beech and oak dust is especially detrimental

to health and therefore should be worked only with

vacuum dust extraction.

Plastic

When cutting plastic, especially PVC, long, spiral

shaped shavings are produced that can be electro-

statically charged.

This can cause the ejector to become clogged and

the swinging protective guard [1-8] to stick. The

use of a dust extractor for dust extraction is recom-

mended.

Apply the machine running against the work piece

and carefully start sawing. Then saw steadily and

without interruption so that the saw teeth have less

chance of sticking.

Non-ferrous Metals

Use only a suitable and sharp saw blade. This en-

sures a clean cut and prevents jam ming of the saw

blade.

Apply the machine running to the workpiece, care-

fully start sawing and then saw with slow feeding

and without interruption.

For proﬁles, always start the cut on the small side;

for U-proﬁles, never start the cuts on the open side.

Support long proﬁle, otherwise the saw blade can

become jammed when the proﬁle tips over and the

machine can “kick back”.

Material with Mineral Content (Light building ma-

terial)

- Only dry cutting is permitted.

- Use vacuum dust extraction. The dust extractor

must be suitable for masonry dust.

8.2 Two-Man Operation

The machine has several handholds to allow it to

be used by one or two operators, depending on the

conﬁ guration.

Illustration 4a is for one-man operation.

Illustration 4b is for two-man operation.

9 Using Attachments

You can extend the use of your circular saw by us-

ing the NS-HK 250x50 planing attachment and the

RS-HK 160x80 curve-cutting attachment available

from the Festool range.

 Always pull the plug out of the socket before

performing any type of work on the machine.

9.1 NS-HK 250x50 Planing Attachment

Using the planing attachment, you can mill grooves

and rabbets to a max. depth of 80 mm and a width

of 50 mm (see diagrams below).

Set the saw to minimum cutting depth.

Remove the saw blade [3-3] by following the in-

structions in Section 7.7 (Replacing the saw blade).

Unscrew the following components:

Plate [5-1] covering the blade guard

Guard [5-2] covering the pendulum mount

Dust extraction connection [5-3]

Riving knife [5-4]

Ensure the planing head [6-3] is clean and ﬁ tted ac-

cording to the illustration and screw it tight. Ensure

that the mounting ﬂ ange [6-1] and the clamping

ﬂ ange [6-2] are in the correct position. The holes

in the planing head [6-3] must ﬁ t onto the follow-

up pins on the mounting ﬂ ange [6-1]. Insert the pin

[6-4] into the hole on the planing head to secure it.

Screw the cover guard [6-5] onto the pendulum

mount [6-6].

Screw the cover guard [6-7] onto the blade guard

[6-8].

Select the depth to be milled as described in Section

7.2 (Cutting Depth Adjustment).

9.2 RS-HK 160x80 Curve-Cutting Attachment

Using the curve-cutting attachment, you can sink

grooves, mill and cut curves as illustrated below.
