Cutting Depth; Changing Tools; Setting The Riving Knife - Festool PRECISIO CS 50 EB Manual De Instrucciones

To make setting easier, the saw unit can be locked
in the front position (Fig. 5): pull the saw unit
forwards as far as it will go and place the switch
(5.1) in the lower position.
The machine must not be used in the front
position!
6.1

Cutting depth

The cutting depth can be set steplessly (0 - 50 mm
with 90° position of the saw blade) by turning the
crank handle (5.4).
6.2 Mitre
The saw blade can be pivoted between 0° and
45°:
- Open the rotary knob (5.3).
- Set the mitre using the scale (5.6) by turning the
handle (5.2).
- Close the rotary knob (5.3).
For exact fi tting work (relief cutting on the bor-
dering), the saw blade can be pivoted 2° beyond
the two end positions. To do so, the button (5.5)
is pressed in the end position; the saw blade can
then be pivoted up to -2° or 47°. On pivoting back,
both end positions are active once again.

Changing tools

Safety Instructions Fast-Fix Tension Nut
(see Fig. 7 A).
After tensioning, close the handle bow.
Only tighten or loosen the Fast-Fix Tension
Nut by hand. Under no circumstances use
the handle bow with aid of screwdrivers,
pliers, or other tools for tightening or
loosening.
If the nut cannot be loosened by hand, only
use a pin-type face spanner for support.
Never continue to use the Fast-Fix nut,
in case the handle bow is loose or dam-
aged.
Due to the special shank, only the saw
blades offered by Festool for this machine
may be used.
- Open the locking mechanism (1.3) and remove
the bench insert (1.2) upwards
- Open the locking mechanism (6.1) and swing the
saw blade cover (6.2) down. This automatically
locks the tool spindle
- Shift the lever (7.5) and turn clockwise (left-hand
thread) to open the Fast-Fix clamp (7.4)
- Change the tool. In doing so, bear in mind:
• The Fast-Fix clamp (7.4), fl ange (8.1) and saw
blade must be clean
• The direction of rotation on the saw blade (7.6)
must match the direction of rotation of the
machine (7.7)
• Place the saw blade on the centre of the fl ange
(8.1) and turn until the contour of the fl ange
and the saw blade hole lock.
- Firmly tighten the Fast-Fix clamp (7.4) anticlock-
wise; shift the lever (7.5)
- Swing the saw blade cover (6.2) upwards and
close the locking mechanism (6.1)
- Insert the bench insert with the rear edge fi rst
(see Fig. 9) and close the locking mechanism
(1.3).
6.4

Setting the riving knife

The spacer wedge (7.1) is to be set in such a way
that the gap to the chuck of the saw blade is 3 to
5 mm.
- Use the Allen key (6.3) to remove the screw (7.3)
and take it out together with the clamping ele-
ment (7.2),
- After both of the screws (8.3) have been opened,
the guide element (8.2) can be shifted vertically
to set the gap between the spacer wedge and
saw blade.
- After completion of the setting, fi t the spacer
wedge and clamping element again and tighten
all screws.
6.5 Guide
As shown in Fig. 3, the supplied guide can be se-
cured to all four sides of the machine. The guide
offers the following adjustment options:
• Adjustment parallel to the bench edge - open
the rotary knob (3.5).
• Adjustment vertical to the bench edge - open
the rotary knob (3.6).
• Adjustment of the sliding fence (3.1) in a longitu-
dinal direction - open the rotary knob (3.2). The
sliding fence can be clamped onto the holder in
a low position for thin workpieces (Fig. 1), or in
a high position for thick workpieces (Fig. 3).
• Angle adjustment using the scale (3.7) - open
the rotary knob (3.3) and raise the fi xing pin
(3.4). The rotating fi xing pin locks into place in
the most common angle positions.
This means that the guide can be used as a par-
allel guide (Fig. 1) or as a cross guide or angle
guide (Fig. 3).
Prior to all work, make sure that all rotary
knobs of the guide are tightened. The
guide may only be used in a fi xed position
and not to shift the workpiece.
