5 Safety instructions

5.1 General safety instructions

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and

all instructions. Failure to follow the warn-

ings and instructions may result in electric shock,

ﬁ re and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future

reference.

• Never allow children to use the machine.

• Before using the machine, make yourself suf-

ﬁ ciently familiar with the application, setting and

operation of the machine.

5.2 Machine-related safety instructions

Safety precautions

• Always use original Festool tools (in accordance

with EN 847-1).

• For reasons of safety, the dimensions of the saw

blades should be as follows: saw blade diameter

260 mm, location hole 30 mm, standard blade

thickness 1.8 mm. Using saw blades with differ-

ent dimensions increases the risk of injury for

the user and the machine may become damaged

because the integrated sliding clutch may not

activate correctly.

• To guarantee safe clamping of the workpieces,

they must have a minimum length of 200 mm.

• Use only correctly sharpened tools without dam-

age or deformation. The maximum rotational

speed speciﬁ ed on the tool must be observed.

• Select the saw blade suitable for the material

you wish to work on.

• Do not use saw blades made of high-speed

steel.

• Do not use spacers or spindle rings.

•

Ensure the work area has adequate lighting.

• Attach the machine securely to the worktop or

a bench.

• To minimise the release of dust, the machine

should be connected to a suitable extraction

unit. All dust extraction elements (exhaust

hoods etc.) must be properly set.

• Wear suitable personal protective equipment:

ear protection to reduce the risk of hearing loss;

safety goggles; a dust mask to prevent inhalation

of harmful dust; protective gloves when working

with raw materials and when changing tools.

•

Only transport the tool in suitable packaging.

Maintenance and repair

• Replace a tabletop insert if worn.

• Only use the machine if all protection devices

are in their correct positions, the machine is in

good condition and has been well maintained.

• Faults on the machine, including the separating

guards or the tool, must be reported to main-

tenance staff immediately upon discovery. The

machine must not be used until the fault has

been eliminated.

• If the machine is equipped with a laser, ensure

it is always replaced by a laser of the same type.

Repairs must only be made by the laser manu-

facturer or an authorised agent.

Safe work

• Only process material for which the machine

has been approved. Aluminium must only be

sawed with the special saw blades from Festool

designed for this purpose.

•

Never process material containing asbestos.

• Ensure that the ﬂ oor around the machine is

level, clean and free of loose objects (e.g. chips

and offcuts).

• Keep hands, ﬁ ngers and arms well away from

the rotating tool. Never reach into the area of

the saw blade behind the stop.

• Always assume the correct position before start-

ing work:

- front at the operating end,

- facing the machine,

- next to the cutting line.

• Do not remove offcuts or other workpiece parts

from the cutting area while the machine is still

running or before the saw blade stops.

• Use a suitable device to support long workpieces

and ensure that they are horizontal.

• Never allow another person to hold or support

the workpiece when sawing. Always clamp the

workpiece in a suitable device.

• Observe the speciﬁ ed maximum workpiece di-

mensions.

• Observe the instructions for lifting and trans-

porting the machine.

• Observe the instructions for installing and op-

erating the machine.

• Ensure the permissible dimensions of the saw

blade are not exceeded. Never use reducers or

adapters to secure the saw blade on the tool

spindle.

• Do not saw wood containing metal parts such

as nails, screws, etc.

• Do not apply lateral force to the saw blade.

• Always saw only one workpiece at a time. It is

not possible to safely secure several workpieces;

they can displace each other during sawing and

block the saw blade.

• If the saw blade is blocked, switch the machine

off immediately and disconnect the mains plug.

Do not remove the jammed workpiece until you

have done this.
