Changing Saw Table; Dust Extraction; Adjusting The Pendulum Stroke; Working With The Machine - Festool CARVEX PSC 400 EB Manual De Instrucciones

X
with the machine running (Speed range 5),
push the splinterguard in on a flat plane un-
til it is flush with the front edge of the saw
table. This beds in the splinterguard.
L When it is worn, push the splinterguard ap-
prox. 3 mm further to the rear and continue
using it.
L To guarantee reliable operation of the splin-
terguard, it must seal tightly on both sides
of the saw blade. For splinter-free cuts,
therefore, a new splinterguard should also
be used after every saw blade change.

Changing saw table

X
Open the change lever [1-8].
X Removing the saw table downwards.
L Assembly is performed in reverse sequence
to removal. Ensure that the saw table is
firmly seated in the guide.
Instead of the saw table, the angle table WT-
PS 400 or adaptation table ADT-PS 400 can be
installed at the support.
Never saw without the saw table, or one
of the other tables offered in the Festool
accessories program.

Dust extraction

WARNING
Dust hazard
X Dust can be hazardous to health. Always
work with a dust extractor.
X
Always read applicable national regula-
tions before extracting hazardous dust.
The extraction adapter
be connected to a dust extractor (hose diame-
ter 27 mm).
X Insert the extraction adapter into the rear
opening of the saw table so that the hook
[6-2] engages in the
X To remove the extraction adapter, press the
hook [6-2].
L 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.
X Set the dust extractor to continuous oper-
ation for special applications (e.g. low
stroke rate, soft wood).
[6-3] allows jigsaws to
[6-1] recess.

Adjusting the pendulum stroke

The pendulum stroke on pendulum jigsaws can be
adjusted to machine different materials with the
correct rate of advance. Select the required set-
ting using the pendulum stroke switch [1-11]:
Position 0 = pendulum stroke off
Position 3 = maximum pendulum stroke
Recommended pendulum stroke setting
Softwood, chip board, wood fibreboard 1 - 3
Blockboard, plywood, plastic
Ceramics
Aluminium, non-ferrous metals
Steel, hardwood
7.7 Stroke speed control
The number of strokes can be adjusted step-
lessly with the adjusting wheel
1500 and 3800 rpm (PSBC 400 EB: 1000 -
3800 rpm). This enables you to optimise the
cutting speed to suit the respective material.
In position A, the automatic load detection is
activated: The stroke speed is reduced in idling
and is controlled to the highest value when the
blade enters the workpiece.
Recommended stroke speed (position
of the adjusting wheel)
Hard and soft wood, plywood board,
plywood, chip board
Hardboard
Plastic
Ceramic, aluminium, non-ferrous metals 3 - 5
Steel

Working with the machine

CAUTION
Material with high dust generation (e.g.
plasterboard)
Damage to machine through dust pene-
tration, risk of injury
X 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.
