To empty remove the connection piece [8-2]of
the dust collection bag [8-3]from the extractor
connector with an anti-clockwise rotation [8-1].
Festool mobile dust extractor
A Festool mobile dust extractor with an extractor
hose diameter of 27 mm or 36 mm (36 mm is rec-
ommended due to the reduced risk of clogging) is
connected to the extractor connector at the elbow
[1-10].
– Static charge may occur if an anti-static suction
hose is not used. The user may suffer an electric
shock.
8 Working with the electric power
tool
Please observe all mentioned safety infor-
mations and the following rules when work-
ing:
– Only guide the machine against the workpiece
when it is switched on.
– Check the function of the pendulum guard prior
to use and do not use the electric power tool if it
does not slide in and out easily.
– Always secure the workpiece in such a manner
that it cannot move while being processed.
– Always hold the machine with two hands at the
handles [1-1] when performing work. This re-
duces the risk of injury and is a prerequisite for
precise work.
– Always push the saw forwards [10-9], and never
towards yourself.
– Adapt the infeed speed to prevent the cutters on
the saw blade from overheating and prevent
plastic materials from melting during cutting.
– Make sure that the knob [1-12] is tightened be-
fore starting work.
