blade cutting edges [7-1] are set to zero ex
works so that the fence can be aligned with
the scale along the front edge of the table.

7.8 Fitting the splinterguard

NOTE
The splinterguard cannot be used when
making bevel cuts. Remove the splinter-
guard as necessary.
Unscrew the rotary knob [5-1].
Slide the clamping plate forwards.
Lift the table insert [1-4] from the rear
end and remove.
Set the saw blade to the minimum cut-
ting depth.
Slide the splinterguard [8-3] up to the
side of the retainer [8-1].
Place the table insert [1-4] in position
and tighten the rotary knob [5-1].
Switch on the machine and move the saw
blade slowly upwards to the maximum
cutting depth.
This beds in the splinterguard. The raised
section [8-4] of the splinterguard should
protrude slightly (approx. 0.3 mm) over the
edge of the table so that the splinterguard
functions more effectively.
Unscrew both screws [8-2] to adjust the
height of the retainer [8-1].

7.9 Dust extraction

CAUTION
Breathing in dust can damage the res-
piratory passage!
Always connect the machine to a dust
extractor.
When performing work that generates
dust, always wear a dust mask.
The PRECISIO has two extraction connec-
tors: top protective cover [3-7] 27 mm in
diameter and the lower protective cover
[3-3] 35 mm in diameter. Attach the hose
holder [3-6] to the clamp rail on the saw
base to guide the top suction hose.
The extractor set CS 70 AB [3-4] (included
in CS 70 EB scope of delivery) joins both
extraction connectors so that a Festool mo-
bile dust extractor with 50 mm adapter can
be connected.
8 Working with the
machine
WARNING
Risk of injury
Always read all safety instructions when

working with the machine!

Never work with the machine in the front
position (set-up position).
Make sure that all rotary knobs on the
fence and the machine are tightened be-
fore starting work.
Adjust the top protective cover until it rests
on the workpiece and secure in this posi-
tion using the rotary knob [1-11].
8.1 Using the machine as a
bench-mounted circular saw
When used in bench-mounted applica-
tions, the saw is fi xed and the workpiece is
moved.
Pull the saw forwards.
Allow the saw to glide back slowly.
You can push the stop lever [1-7] down
after a few millimetres.
If the saw continues to glide back, the stop
lever engages in the guide rod and secures
the saw at the centre of the table (bench
saw position).
Use the fence as a longitudinal stop [Fig. 6]
to guide the workpiece.
uide the workpiece by hand. Use the
G
workpiece holder [6-1] to guide the work-
piece accurately past the saw blade.
Place the workpiece holder in the store [2-
7] when not in use.
8.2 Using the machine as a
trimming saw
When the machine is used for trimming
work, the workpiece remains stationary and
the saw is moved to make the cut.
Turn the rotary knob [2-6] anticlockwise
to release the saw lock.
Push down the stop lever [1-7] to unlock
and move the saw to the forward position
so that the control elements are easy acces-
sible when the saw settings are adjusted.
Turn the rotary knob [2-6] anticlockwise to
