Set the sliding stop for cut depth
[2-5]
on scale
[2-4]
to a depth value of 10 mm.
Push the arresting button
[1-1]
and push the
cover in.
Release the arresting button
[1-1]

[6-2]
,
as well as the clamping faces of the cutting
disc
[6-3]
.
Put the fl ange
[6-4]
on the grinder’s spindle
with the shoulder facing outward.
Put on the disc
[6-3]
; take care to comply with
the prescribed direction of rotation (arrow on
the disc vs. arrow on the machine). The fl ange
shoulder must exactly fi t in the disc’s opening.

Guide system [fi gure 7]
WARNING
Only use discs of thickness up to 3 mm!
Use the guide bar
[7-1]
for accurate cuts.
The side clearance of the disc guiding can be set
with the aid of the adjusting screws
[1-9]
.
Guide bars
On the bottom face of the guide bar there are anti-
skid strips, which ensure safe contact and prevent
the workpiece from scratching.
The bar can also be secured with the aid of special
clamps FSZ 300
[7-2]
, pushed into the special
guide grooves. Safe guiding on uneven surfaces
is thus enabled.
WARNING
The guide bars are equipped with burr protec-
tor, which must be cut off before the fi rst use.
Connector
Depending on the particular application and the
workpiece size, several guide bars can be con-
nected with the aid of a connector spring
[7-3]
.
Fast connection of guide bars can be secured by
screws in the threaded openings.

WARNING
Risk of accident if the machine is operated us-
ing unauthorised voltages or frequencies.
The mains voltage and the frequency of the
power source must correspond with the spec-
ifi cations on the machine’s name plate.
In North America, only Festool machines with
the voltage specifi cations 120 V/60 Hz may
be used.
Set the sliding stop for cut depth
[2-5]
on scale
[2-4]
(top edge of the stop) to the requested depth
of the cut – loosen and tighten the stop screw
[2-
6]
as necessary.
The cut depth scale is valid for cutting without a
bar.
The scale is for orientation only. The actual depth
of the cut may be affected by, for example, manu-
facturing tolerances or the wear of the diamond
disc’s segment. If en exact depth is required, it
is necessary to measure the actual depth on a
test cut.
