Before starting

– Before each use, check whether the drive

unit with the saw blade correctly and fully

swivels back up into its initial position in

the protective housing. Do not use the saw

if the upper end position is not secured.

Never clamp or secure the swivelling drive

unit at a specific cutting depth. This would

mean that the saw blade is not protected.

– Check the plunging mechanism prior to use

and do not use the machine if it does not

work correctly.

– Check that the saw blade is securely in

place.

– Make sure that the rotary knob [1-3] is

tightened before starting work.

– Make sure that extractor hose and mains

power cable do not snag the entire saw cut,

either on the workpiece, the workpiece

support or hazards on the ground.

– Always secure the workpiece in such a way

that it cannot move during machining.

– Position the workpiece so that it is stress-

free and level.

During work

– When working, always hold the power tool

with both hands on the handles [1-4]. This

is a prerequisite for precise work and is es

sential for plunge-cutting. Plunge into the

workpiece slowly and evenly.

– Only guide the power tool towards the

workpiece when it is switched on.

– Always push the saw forwards [9-2], and

never towards yourself.

– Adapt the infeed speed to prevent the cut

ters on the saw blade from overheating and

prevent plastic materials from melting dur

ing cutting. The harder the material to be

sawn, the lower the feed speed needs to be.

– Do not work with the machine if the elec

tronics are defective, because this may lead

to excessive speeds. You can tell if the

electronics are defective if there is no

smooth start-up or if it is not possible to

regulate the speed or where smoke is

present or if there is a smell of burning

coming from the machine.

– Make sure that the guard completely sur

rounds the saw blade before placing the

saw on the worktop or on the ground.

8.1 Sawing along the scribe mark

The gauge marker [7-2] displays the cutting

line for 0° and 45° cuts (without a guide rail).

8.2 Cutting sections

Position the machine with the front part of the

saw table on the workpiece, switch on the ma

chine, push it down to the set cutting depth and

push it forward in the cutting direction.

8.3 Sawing cut-outs (plunge cuts)

In order to avoid kickbacks, the following

instructions must always be followed

when plunge cutting:

– Always position the machine with the rear

edge of the saw table against a fixed stop.

– When working with the guide rail, position

the machine at the FS-RSP kickback stop

(accessory) [9-4], 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 [7-1] indicate the absolute front and

rear cutting points of the saw blade (Ø 160 mm)

when using the saw at maximum cutting depth

with the guide rail.

8.4 Gypsum and cement-bound fibreboards

Due to the high volume of dust, it is recommen

ded to use the cover ABSA-TS55/60 (accesso

ries) which can be mounted at the side at the

protective cover and a Festool mobile dust ex

tractor.
