The emission values specifi ed refer to the main
applications for which the power tool is used. If
the electric power tool is used for other applica-
tions, with other tools or is not maintained suffi -
ciently prior to operation, however, the vibration
and noise load may be higher when the tool is
used. Take into account any machine idling times
and downtimes to estimate these values more
accurately for a specifi ed time period. This may
signifi cantly reduce the load during the machine
operating period.

Other risks
In spite of compliance with all relevant design
regulations, dangers may still present them-
selves when the machine is operated, e.g.:
- workpiece parts being thrown off,
- parts of damaged tools being thrown off,
- noise emissions,
- wood dust emissions.

Commissioning
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
specifi cations on the machine's name plate.
In North America, only Festool machines with
voltage specifi cations of 120 V may be used.
6.1
Assembling the machine
Setting up the machine
Ensure that the fl oor around the machine is level,
in good condition and free of loose objects (e.g.
chips and offcuts).
The machine can be set up with or without
the legs unfolded. To unfold the legs:
Unscrew the rotary knobs [1-12] all the way.
Unfold the legs [1-1] and tighten the rotary
knobs [1-12] again.
If the machine wobbles, turn the end cap [1-9] on
one leg to adjust the length so that the machine
stands securely.
Fitting the knob
Screw the rotary knob [2-6] supplied anticlock-
wise into the guide rod.
16
Fitting the protective cover
Pull the spacer wedge [1-6] sharply upwards
[7-2] to move to the top catch position.
Secure the top protective cover supplied to the
spacer wedge in this position using the rotary
knob [1-11].
Transport
Engage the saw unit in the zero position.
Remove all attachments from your saw and
wind up the cable on the cable holder.
Fold up the legs.
6.2
On/Off switch
We recommend using a 16 A fuse because of
the performance of the motor.
To switch on: Press the green "On" switch
[1-2]. The red button is the "Off" switch.
A switch-on lock is available as an accessory
to prevent the machine from switching on
unintentionally.

WARNING
Risk of accident, electric shock
Always pull the plug out of the socket before
performing any type of work on the machine.
7.1
Electronics
The machine features full-wave electronics with
the following properties:
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up
function ensures that the machine starts up
smoothly.
Speed control
You can regulate the rotational speed (CS 70 EB
only) steplessly between 2000 and 4200 rpm us-
ing the adjusting wheel [2-1]. This enables you to
optimise the cutting speed to suit the respective
material.
The preselected motor speed remains constant
through electronic control. This ensures a uni-
form cutting speed even when under strain.
Overload safety device
The machine power supply is limited if the ma-
chine is overloaded to extremes. The power sup-
ply is interrupted permanently if the motor is
blocked for a few moments. Switch the machine
