Dust extraction
WARNING
Dust hazard
X
Dust can be hazardous to health. Always work
with a dust extractor.
X
Always read applicable national regulations
before extracting hazardous dust.
Festool mobile dust extractor
A Festool mobile dust extractor with an extractor
hose diameter of 27 mm or 36 mm (36 mm
recommended due to the reduced risk of clogging)
can be connected to the extractor connector
[1-10]
at the elbow.
– Static charge may occur if an anti-static suction
hose is not used. The user may suffer an electric
shock.

Working with the electric power
tool
Please observe all mentioned safety in-
formations and the following rules when
working:
– Only guide the power tool towards the workpiece
when it is switched on.
–
Before each use, check that the pendulum
guard is working correctly.
Only use this power
tool when it is in perfect working order.
– Always secure the workpiece in such a manner
that it cannot move while being processed.
– Always hold the machine with two hands at
the handles
[1-1]
when performing work. This
reduces the risk of injury and is a prerequisite
for precise work.
– Always push the saw forwards
[8-9]
, and never
towards yourself.
– Adapt the infeed speed to prevent the cutters
on the saw blade from overheating and prevent
plastic materials from melting during cutting.
– Make sure that the knob
[1-12]
is tightened
before starting work.
– Do not work on the power tool if its electronics
are defective as this may lead to excessive
speeds. Defective electronics mean that there
is no smooth start-up and the speed regulation
fails.

Sawing cut outs (plunge cuts)
In order to avoid kickbacks, the following
instructions must be observed without fail
when plunge cutting:
– Always place the machine with the rear edge of
the saw table against a fixed stop.
– When working with the guide rail, place the
machine against the kickback stop FS-RSP
(accessory)
[8-6]
clamped to the guide rail.
Caution! Danger of crushing!
Always keep a firm grip on the machine
with your free hand when adjusting plunge
cuts. Never position your fingers behind
or below the saw blade.
