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 acces-
sories program.

Dust extraction

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.
The extraction adapter [6-3] allows jigsaws to be
connected to a dust extractor (hose diameter 27
mm).

Insert the extraction adapter into the rear open-
ing of the saw table so that the hook [6-2] en-
gages in the [6-1] recess.

To remove the extraction adapter, press the
hook [6-2].

Due to the low power consumption of the ma-
chine (low energy consumption), dust extractors
with an automatic switch-on function will some-
times only start up when the actual cut is made.

Set the dust extractor to continuous operation
for special applications (e.g. low stroke rate,
soft wood).

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 setting
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
Blockboard, plywood, plastic
Ceramics
Aluminium, non-ferrous metals
Steel, hardwood

The number of strokes can be adjusted steplessly
with the adjusting wheel [1-5] between 1500 and
3800 rpm (PSBC 420 EB: 1000 - 3800 rpm). This en-
ables you to optimise the cutting speed to suit the
respective material.
In position A, the automatic load detection is acti-
vated: The stroke speed is reduced in idling and is
controlled to the highest value when the blade en-
ters the workpiece.
Recommended stroke speed (position of the
adjusting wheel)
Hard and soft wood, plywood board, ply-
wood, chip board
Hardboard
Plastic
Ceramic, aluminium, non-ferrous metals
Steel

Material with high dust generation (e.g. plaster-
board)
Damage to machine through dust penetration,
risk of injury

When working on small or thin workpieces, always
use a stable base, or the CMS module (accessory).
When working, hold the electric power tool by the
handle and guide it along the desired cutting line.
For precise cuts and smooth running, use two
hands to guide the electric power tool.
Free saw guidance along a scribe mark
The triangular pointer on the splinterguard [5-1]
indicates the cutting line of the saw blade. This fa-
cilitates sawing along a scribe mark.
