Speed Control; Dust Extraction - Festool KSC 60 EB Manual De Instrucciones

English
8.1

Speed control

You can continuously adjust the speed within
the speed range using the adjusting
wheel [2-10] (see "Technical data"). This ena­
bles you to optimise the cutting speed to suit
each surface.
Speed range per material
Solid wood (hard, soft)
Chipboard and hardboard
Laminated wood, blockboard, veneered
and laminated panels
Laminate, mineral materials
Aluminium panels and profiles up to
15 mm
Plastics, fibre-reinforced plastics, paper
and fabric
Acrylic glass
Current limiting
Current limiting prevents excessive current
consumption under extreme overload, which
can lead to a decrease in the motor speed. The
motor immediately restarts after the load is re­
moved.
Temperature cut-out
The power supply is restricted and the speed
reduced if the motor exceeds a certain temper­
ature. The power tool continues operating at re­
duced power to allow the ventilator to cool the
motor quickly. The power tool starts up again
automatically once the motor has cooled suffi­
ciently.
8.2 Brake
The saw KSC 60 EB comes with an electronic
brake. The saw blade is stopped electronically
within approximately two seconds of switching
off the machine.

Dust extraction

WARNING
Health hazard posed by dust
► Always work with an extractor.
► Comply with national regulations.
► When sawing carcinogenic materials, al­
ways connect a suitable extraction mobile
in accordance with national regulations. Do
not use the chip collection bag.
Blockages in the guard may impair safety fea­
tures. To avoid blockages, it is therefore better
30
to work with a mobile dust extractor at full suc­
tion power.
Static charge may occur when sawing (e.g.
MDF). If this is the case, work with a mobile
dust extractor and an antistatic suction hose.
Festool mobile dust extractor
A Festool mobile dust extractor with a suction
hose diameter of 27/32 mm or 36 mm (36 mm
6
recommended due to the reduced risk of clog­
ging) can be connected to the extractor connec­
3–6
tor [6-1].
6
The adapter on a 27 diameter suction hose is
inserted into the adapter [6-4] . The adapter on
4–6 a 36 diameter suction hose is inserted over the
adapter [6-4] .
4–6
CAUTION! A static charge may build up if no
antistatic suction hose is used. The user may
3–5
receive an electric shock and the power tool's
electronics may be damaged.
8.4 Independent extraction
4–5
► Secure the connection piece [6-2] of the
dust collection bag [6-3] at the extractor
connector [6-1] with a clockwise rotation.
► To empty, remove the connection piece of
the dust collection bag from the extractor
connector with an anti-clockwise rotation.
8.5 Adjusting the table extension
► Open the rotary knob [7-2].
► Pull out the table extension [7-1] far
enough that the workpiece is laid out fully.
► Close the rotary knob.
If, despite the table extension being exten­
ded as far as possible, the workpiece pro­
trudes over the table, the workpiece must
be supported by other means.
8.6 Setting the stop rulers [8]
For mitre cuts, you must adjust the stop rul­
ers [8A-1] so that they do not impede the func­
tionality of the pendulum guard or come into
contact with the saw blade.
WARNING! Replace damaged stop rulers be­
fore using the saw.
► Open the rotary knobs (on both
sides) [8A-2].
► Move the stop rulers [8A-1] 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.
