Current limiting
Current limiting prevents excessive current con-
sumption under extreme overload, which can lead
to a decrease in the motor speed. The motor imme-
diately restarts after the load is removed.
Temperature cut-out
When exceeding a certain engine temperature lev-
el, the machine power supply and speed are
capped. The power tool continues operating at re-
duced power to allow the ventilator to cool the mo-
tor rapidly. The power tool resumes to full perfor-
mance automatically once the motor has cooled
sufficiently.
7.2
Connecting the mobile dust extractor
WARNING
Dust hazard
Dust can be hazardous to health. Always work
with a dust extractor.
Always read applicable national regulations be-
fore extracting hazardous dust.
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) can
be connected to the extractor connector [2-2] at
the elbow.
7.3
Setting the stop rulers [8]
Moving the stop rulers may make it neces-
sary to implement special settings for in-
clined cutting. In the case of inclined cutting,
there is a risk that the stop ruler will be
sawed.
Open the rotary knobs (on both sides) [8-1].
Move the stop rulers [8-3] in such a way that
there is a maximum clearance of 8 mm from the
saw blade.
While the machine is switched off, lower the
saw unit in a trial run to check whether the saw
blade comes into contact with the stop rulers.
Close the rotary knobs.
The contact surface of the stop ruler can be in-
dividually adjusted by screwing in suitable tap
blocks [8A]. When doing so, ensure that the
functionality of the saw is not restricted in any
way.
7.4
Adjusting the table extension
Open the knob [8-3].
22
Pull out the table extension [8-2] far enough
that the workpiece is laid out fully.
Close the knob.
If, despite the table extension being extended as
far as possible, the workpiece protrudes over
the table, the workpiece must be supported by
other means.
7.5
Changing the saw blade[9]
WARNING
Risk of injury, electric shock
Always pull the mains plug out of the socket be-
fore performing any type of work on the ma-
chine!
CAUTION
Hot and sharp tools
Risk of injury
Do not use any blunt or defective insert tools.
Always wear protective gloves when replacing
the saw blade.
Preparing the machine
Pull out the mains plug and wind up the mains
cable.
Move the saw unit downwards until it reaches
the limit stop.
Pull the lever for the transport locking device
[9-2].
Slowly guide the saw unit upwards.
Remove the Allen key [9-7] from the holder in
the cable winder [9-10] (key storage box).
Remove the saw blade
Press and hold the spindle stop [9-1].
Use the Allen key [9-7] to turn the saw blade un-
til the spindle stop clicks into place.
Use the Allen key to undo the screw [9-6] (left-
hand thread, turn in the direction of the arrow).
Remove the screw and flange [9-8].
Release the spindle stop.
Press and hold the safety button [9-3].
Lift and hold the pendulum guard [9-4] with one
