Adjusting The Pendulum Stroke; Stroke Rate Control; Working With The Electric Power Tool; Free Saw Guidance Along A Scribe Mark - Festool CARVEX PSC 420 EB Manual De Instrucciones

To guarantee reliable operation of the
splinterguard, it must seal tightly on both
sides of the saw blade. A new splinter­
guard should therefore be fitted after ev­
ery saw blade change to guarantee splint­
er-free cuts.
8.4 Changing the saw table
► Open the change lever [1-9].
► Remove the saw table downwards.
Assembly is performed in reverse se­
quence to removal. Ensure that the saw
table is firmly seated in the guide.
Instead of the saw table, the WT-PS 400 angle
table or ADT-PS 400 base adapter can be instal­
led at the support.
Never saw without the saw table, or one
of the other tables or adapters offered in
the Festool accessories range.
8.5 Extraction
WARNING
Health risk due to dust
► Always work with an extractor.
► Comply with national regulations.
The extraction adapter [5-3] allows jigsaws to
be connected to a dust extractor (hose diameter
27 mm).
► Insert the extraction adapter in the rear
opening of the saw table so that the
hook [5-2] engages in the recess [5-1].
► To remove the extraction adapter, press the
hook [5-2].
Due to the low power consumption of the
machine (low energy consumption), dust
extractors with an automatic switch-on
function will sometimes only start up when
the actual cut is made.
► Set the dust extractor to continuous opera­
tion for special applications (e.g. low stroke
rate, soft wood).
8.6

Adjusting the pendulum stroke

In order to saw different materials with the
proper rate of advance the pendulum stroke
can be adjusted. Set the required stroke via the
pendulum stroke switch [1-12]:
Position 0 = pendulum stroke disabled
Position 3 = maximum pendulum stroke
Recommended pendulum stroke setting
Softwood, chip board, wood fibreboard
Blockboard, plywood, plastic
Ceramics
Aluminium, non-ferrous metals
Steel, hardwood
8.7

Stroke rate control

Using the adjusting wheel [1-6], the stroke rate
can be continuously adjusted between 1500 and
3800 rpm (PSBC 420 EB: 1000–3800 rpm). This
enables you to optimise the cutting speed to
suit the respective material.
Automatic load detection is activated in posi­
tion A: The stroke rate drops when idling and is
adjusted to the highest setting when the work­
piece is introduced.
Recommended stroke rate (position of the ad­
justing wheel)
Hard and soft wood, blockboard, ply­
wood, chipboard
Fibreboard
Plastic
Ceramic, aluminium, non-ferrous met­
als
Steel
9 Working with the electric
power tool
CAUTION
Materials which produce a lot of dust
Damage to the machine due to the ingress of
dust, risk of injury
► Do not work overhead.
When working on small or thin workpieces, al­
ways use a stable base, or the CMS module (ac­
cessory).
When working, hold the electric power tool by
the handle and guide it along the desired cut­
ting line. For precise cuts and smooth running,
use two hands to guide the electric power tool.

Free saw guidance along a scribe mark

The triangular pointer on the splinterguard
[4-1] indicates the cutting line of the saw blade.
This facilitates sawing along a scribe mark.
