7 Power supply and start-up

Observe the mains voltage: The voltage

and frequency of the power source must

comply with the specifications on the

machine's identiﬁ cation plate.

In North America, only Festool machines

with the voltage speciﬁ cations 120 V/60

Hz may be used.

7.1 On/Off switch

– Press the unlocking lever (1.5) for the saw

unit.

– Press the On/Off switch (1.4) for switching on the

machine. For safety reasons, it is impossible to

lock the machine in the On position.

– Release the On/Off switch again to switch off the

machine.

8 Operation

Risk of accidents

• Before starting work, ensure that the saw blade

cannot touch the sliding fence or other machine

parts.

• Do not cross your hands in front of the saw unit;

never hold the workpiece with your left hand to

the right of the saw blade and vice versa.

• Do not overload the machine, causing it to shut

down.

• Observe the speciﬁ ed working position.

8.1 Speed control

You can regulate the rotational speed steplessly

between 2700 and 5200 rpm using the adjusting

wheel (1.3). This enables you to optimise the cut-

ting speed to suit the respective material.

Recommended position of the adjusting wheel:

Wood 3 - 6

Plastic 3 - 5

Fibre board 1 - 3

Aluminium plates 3 - 6

8.2 Sawing workpieces

In unfavourable cases, the separated

workpiece parts can be caught by the

rotating saw blade and thrown back when

sawing strips. This effect occurs espe-

cially with hard woods and is dependent

on the proﬁ le of the strip.

• Always ensure that no persons or objects that

could be injured or damaged are located behind

the machine.

• If this effect occurs when sawing a strip, put

an additional, ﬂ at 25 to 30 mm thick softwood

strip (e.g. rooﬁ ng board) between the sliding

fence and the strip, and saw through both strips

together. This prevents or signiﬁ cantly reduces

the throw-back effect.

• As an alternative to the additional softwood strip,

a sliding fence with a pre-installed wooden strip

(491886) is also available.

When sawing acute angles or aluminium

(in particular aluminium proﬁ les), there is

a danger of the workpiece being caught by

the saw blade and thrown backwards.

• Hold the workpiece ﬁ rmly and lower the saw

unit very slowly.

Working method

– Place the workpiece (5.5) ﬂ ush against a sliding

fence (5.4) and hold it in that position with one

hand.

Note: When sawing inner angles, it may be

necessary to move the redundant sliding fence

outwards.

– Press the unlocking lever (5.1) for the saw unit.

This opens the pivot guard (5.2) halfway.

– Switch on the machine.

– Always saw the workpiece at a steady rate of

advance. The rollers (5.3) of the pivot guard

slide over the workpiece, which causes the pivot

guard to open further.

– Raise the saw unit again after the cut and switch

the machine off.

9 Service and maintenance

Always pull the mains plug out of the

socket before any type of work on the

machine.

All maintenance and repair work which

requires the motor housing to be opened,

must only be carried out by an authorised

service workshop.

Damaged safety devices and parts should

be repaired or replaced by an authorised

service centre unless otherwise speciﬁ ed

in the operating instructions. Damaged

switches must be replaced by an author-

ised service centre.

To ensure constant air circulation, always keep the

cooling-air openings in the motor housing clean

and free of blockages.
