Aluminium processing

When sawing aluminium, the following mea-
sures must be taken for safety reasons:
–Connect the machine to a suitable dust ex-
tractor.
– Regularly remove dust deposits from the motor
housing.
– Use an aluminium saw blade.
– Close the viewing window/chipguard.
Wear protective goggles.
– When sawing panels, they must be lubricated
with paraffin but thin-walled profiles (up to 3
mm) can be sawed without lubrication.

Intended use

Cordless circular saws are suitable for sawing
– wooden materials and wood-based materials,
– plaster- and cement-bonded fibres,
– plastic materials,
– aluminium (only with a special saw blade for alu-
minium offered by Festool)
Only saw blades with the following specifications
can be used: saw blade diameter 160 mm; recom-
mended cutting width 1,8 mm, max. 2.2 mm with
restricted function of guide wedge; locating bore
20 mm; recommended steel blade thickness
1,5 mm, max. 1.8 mm; suitable for speeds up to
6800 rpm. Never use sanding discs in the machine.
The machine is designed and approved for use by
trained persons or specialists only.
