Inserting The Splinterguard; Changing Saw Table; Dust Extraction; Adjusting The Pendulum Stroke - Festool CARVEX PSC 420 EB Manual De Instrucciones Original

Using minimal pressure, push the chip
guard [4-1] downwards.
7.3

Inserting the splinterguard

The splinterguard prevents the edges of the
material from splintering during the cut, even
at the end where the saw blade exits the ma-
terial.
Switch off the machine and slide the splin-
terguard [5-1] into the guide [5-2] and
up to the saw blade,
Switch on the jigsaw,
On a level surface, slide in the splinter-
guard (not using your hand!)while the
machine is operating until it is flush with
the front edge of the saw base (speed set-
ting 5). This beds in the splinterguard.
When it is worn, push the splinterguard ap-
prox. 3 mm further to the rear and continue
using it.
To guarantee reliable operation of the splin-
terguard, it must seal tightly on both sides
of the saw blade. A new splinterguard
should therefore be fitted after every saw
blade change to guarantee splinter-free
cuts.
7.4

Changing saw table

Open the change lever [1-8].
Removing the saw table downwards.
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.
7.5

Dust extraction

WARNING
Dust hazard
Dust can be hazardous to health. Always
work with a dust extractor.
Always read applicable national regula-
tions before extracting hazardous dust.
The extraction adapter [6-3] allows jigsaws
to be connected to a dust extractor (hose di-
ameter 27 mm).
Insert the extraction adapter into the rear
opening of the saw table so that the hook
[6-2] engages in the [6-1] recess.
To remove the extraction adapter, press the
hook [6-2].
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.
Set the dust extractor to continuous opera-
tion for special applications (e.g. low stroke
rate, soft wood).
7.6

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 re-
quired 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
7.7

Stroke speed control

The number of strokes can be adjusted step-
lessly with the adjusting wheel [1-5] between
1500 and 3800 rpm (PSBC 420 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, ply-
wood, chip board
Hardboard
Plastic
Ceramic, aluminium, non-ferrous metals
Steel
