11 Accessories

Use only original Festool accessories and
Festool consumable material intended for this
machine. These components are designed spe­
cifically for this machine. Using accessories
and consumable material from other suppliers
will most likely affect the quality of your results
and limit warranty claims. Machine wear or
your own personal workload may increase de­
pending on the application. Protect yourself and
your machine, and preserve your warranty
claims by always using original Festool acces­
sories and Festool consumable material!
The order numbers of the accessories and tools
can be found in the Festool catalogue or on the
Internet under "www.festoolusa.com".
11.1 Saw blades, other accessories
In order to saw different materials quickly and
cleanly, Festool offers saw blades for all appli­
cations that are specially designed for your
Festool circular saw.
11.2 Parallel stop, table widener
A parallel stop can be used for section widths
up to 7-1/16" (180 mm). The parallel stop can
also be used as a table widener.
11.3 Side-mounted cover, false joints
The cover that can be mounted on the side of
the protective cover improves the effect of dust
extraction for 0° cuts.
Simultaneously, the cover can be used as a
false joint stop for false joint widths from 3/4"
(18 mm) onwards.

11.4 Guide system

The guide rails, which are available in different
lengths, allow for precise, clean cuts and si­
multaneously protect the workpiece surface
against damage.
In conjunction with the extensive range of ac­
cessories, exact angled cuts, mitre cuts and fit­
ting work can be completed with the guide sys­
tem. The option of attaching the guide rail se­
curely using clamps [12-2] ensures safer work­
ing conditions.
► Adjust the guide play between the saw table
and the guide rail using the two adjustable
jaws [12-1].
Bed in the splinterguard [12-3] before using
the guide rail for the first time:
► Set the power tool speed to 6.
► Place the power tool at the rear end of the
guide rail together with the complete guide
plate.

► Switch on the power tool.
► Push down the power tool slowly to the
max. preset cutting depth and cut along the
full length of the splinterguard without
stopping.
The edge of the splinterguard now corresponds
exactly to the cutting edge.

The splinterguard needs to be replaced if it be­
comes damaged or worn:
► Peel the original splinterguard [13-1] away
from the guide rail.
► As needed, clean residual adhesive and de­
bris from the guide rail.
► Peel off the plastic backing from the new
splinterguard to expose the adhesive.
► Without stretching the rubber, carefully
place the new splinterguard on the under­
side of the guide rail tight to the alignment
rib [13-2].
► Make sure the splinterguard is firmly
pressed down to the guide rail.
► Trim the splinterguard as described before.
