7.3 Changing tools
Risk of accidents
• Always pull the mains plug out of the socket before chan-
ging blades.
• Actuate the spindle lock (7.2) only after the saw blade
has come to rest.
• The saw blade becomes very hot during operation; do
not touch it before it has cooled down.
• Always wear protective gloves during tool change due to
the risk of injury from the sharp tool cutters.
Removing saw blades
– Move the machine to working position.
– Push in the spindle lock (7.2) and turn 90° clockwise.
– Unscrew the screw (7.8) completely using the Allen key
(7.9) (left-handed thread).
– Press the on/off switch (7.3) to unlock the pivot guard.
– Open the pivot guard (7.4) completely.
– Remove the clamping fl ange (7.7) and the saw blade.
Installing saw blades
– Clean all parts before installing them (saw blade, fl anges,
screw).
– Place the saw blade on the tool spindle (7.5).
Ensure that the directions of rotation of the saw
blade (7.6) and machine (7.1) correspond.
– Secure the saw blade with the fl ange (7.7) and the screw
(7.8).
– Tighten the screw (7.8) (left-handed thread).
– Push in the spindle lock (7.2) and turn 90° anticlockwi-
se.
Press the on/off switch (7.3) to release the pivot guard.
7.4 Inserting workpiece clamps
– Insert the workpiece clamp (8.1) in one of the two holes
(8.2). The clamping fi xture must face forwards.
– Turn the workpiece clamp until the clamping fi xture is
facing forwards.
7.5 Dust extraction
Harmful/toxic dusts can be produced during your work (e.g.
lead-containing paint, some types of wood and metal).
Contact with these dusts, especially inhaling them, can
represent a hazard for operating personnel or persons in
the vicinity.
• Comply with the safety regulations that apply in your
country.
• Connect the electric power tool to a suitable extraction
system.
• To protect your health, wear a P2 protective mask.
A Festool dust extractor with an extractor hose diameter
of 36 mm or 27 mm (36 mm recommended due to the
reduced risk of clogging) can be connected to the extractor
connector (9.1)
The fl exible chip defl ector (9.2) improves dust and chip
collection. Always work with a chip defl ector fi tted.
The chip defl ector is attached directly to the protective
cover via the bracket (10.1). The hooks (10.2) on the
bracket must slot into the recesses (10.3) on the protec-
tive cover.
7.6 Workpiece fence
Adjusting the stop ruler
When making mitre cuts, adjust the stop rulers (11.1)
so that they do not impede the pivot guard or come into
contact with the saw blade.
– Open the clamping lever (11.2).
– Slide the stop ruler until the shortest distance from the
saw blade is max. 4.5 mm.
– Close the clamping lever again.
Removing the stop ruler
For certain mitre cuts, one of the stop rulers may need to
be removed otherwise it will collide with the saw unit.
– Turn the screw (11.3) as far as possible into the threaded
hole (downwards).
– You can now slide out the stop ruler sideways.
– After inserting the stop ruler again, unscrew the screw
three turns.
Auxiliary stop
You can insert an auxiliary stop made from wood (12.2)
into the holes (12.1) on each stop ruler to enlarge the fence
surface. This will allow you to position larger workpieces
more securely.
Remember the following:
• The screws for securing the auxiliary stops must not
protrude above the surface.
• The auxiliary stops should be used only for 0° mitre
cuts.
• The auxiliary stops should not affect the function of the
protective covers.
7.7 Horizontal mitre angles
You can set any horizontal mitre angle between 50° (on
the left) and 60° (on the right). Alternatively, you can use
the standard preset mitre angles.
The arrow on the pointer (13.1) indicates the current ho-
rizontal mitre setting. The two marks on the right and left
of the pointer arrow allow you to adjust the angle more
accurately to half a degree. The two marks must be con-
gruent with the straight lines on the scale.
Standard horizontal mitre angles
The following preset mitre angles are available:
left: 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, 45°
right: 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, 45°, 60°
– Move the machine to working position.
– Pull the clamp lever (13.5) upwards.
– Push the stop lever (13.4) downwards.
– Turn the saw base to the desired mitre angle.
– Release the stop lever. The stop lever must latch into
place.
– Push the clamp lever downwards.
Other horizontal mitre angles
– Move the machine to working position.
– Pull the clamp lever (13.5) upwards.
– Push the stop lever (13.4) downwards.
– Turn the saw base to the desired mitre angle.
– Push the clamp lever downwards.
– Release the stop lever.
7.8 Vertical mitre angles
– Move the machine to working position.
– Open the clamping lever (14.1).
– Turn the selector switch (14.2) to the desired setting
range (0° - 45°, +/-45°, or +/-47°).
– Swivel the saw unit until the pointer (14.3) indicates the
desired mitre angle. You can adjust the vertical mitre
angle more accurately using the fi ne adjustment rotary
handle (14.4).
– Close the clamping lever (14.1).
7.9 Special cutting position
Apart from the standard position for cutting or trimming
boards/panels, the machine also has a special cutting posi-
tion for trimming strip material up to 120 mm in height.
– Pull the saw unit forwards.
– Push the lever (15.3) down.
– Slide the saw unit back until the metal bracket (15.1)
hooks into the rear opening on the saw unit.
– In this position, you can trim strip material up to 120 mm
in height against the fence. The guiding function and the
