The stroke rate level depends on the material
and can be determined using practical tests.
A lower stroke rate is recommended when
placing the saw blade on the workpiece and
when sawing in plastic and aluminium
CAUTION! When working for long periods with a
low stroke rate, the power tool may get very hot
and switch off (see Temperature cut-out).
Recommended stroke rate levels per mate
rial
Plastic, metal
Construction material,
wood
Overload safety device
The power supply is restricted if the power tool
is overloaded to extremes. The power supply is
disconnected completely if the motor jams for
some time. You will need to remove the load
and/or switch off the power tool before you can
use it again.
Temperature cut-out
To avoid the motor overheating, the power con
sumption is limited at an excessive motor tem
perature (e.g. if the pressure is too high while
working). If the temperature continues to rise,
the power tool switches off. It can only be
switched on again once the motor has cooled
sufficiently.

Setting the type of pendulum stroke
The pendulum stroke on the power tool can be
adjusted to machine different materials with
the correct rate of advance. Select the required
setting using the pendulum stroke switch [1-2]:
Position 0 – pendulum stroke switched off
Horizontal sawing movements
–
for machining thin or hard materials, e. g.
sheet metal, steel.
–
for achieving cleaner cutting edges.
Position MAX – stroke rate activated
Horizontal and vertical sawing movements
(pendulum movements)
–
for machining materials with average
strength, e. g. non-ferrous metals, hard
wood, plastics.
–
for machining soft materials, e. g. light
construction materials, insulating material,
softwood, timber.

Changing tools
CAUTION
Risk of injury from hot and sharp insertion
tool
► Do not use any blunt or faulty insertion
tools.
► Wear protective gloves when handling an
insertion tool.
Selecting the saw blade
Only use saw blades that are suitable for the
relevant application. The saw blade should not
be longer than that required for the intended
cut.
You can find an overview of recommended saw
blades in your Festool catalogue or online at
www.festool.co.uk.
Only saw materials for which the saw blade in
question has been designed.
Ejecting the saw blade [3A]
Unlock the tool holder [3-2].
►
►
Automatic ejection of the saw
blade [3-1].
The tool holder remains unlocked.
If the saw blade is not ejected, pull the saw
blade out of the tool holder towards the
front.
Inserting the saw blade [3B]
► Remove all the chips or foreign objects ad
hered to the saw blade [3-3] and to the tool
holder [3-4]. Otherwise the blade cannot be
sufficiently tightened.
►
Insert the saw blade.
The tool holder locks automatically.
CAUTION! Whenever you replace a saw blade,
always check that it is securely in place. A loose
saw blade can fall out and cause injuries.
If the automatic locking/unlocking device
on the tool holder does not close properly,
clean the tool holder (see section 12) and
close it manually after inserting the saw
blade by turning it clockwise.
9.4
Adjusting the saw table [4]
When sawing, the saw table [4-1] should al
ways be in contact with the material in order to
avoid excessive vibrations.
By adjusting the saw table, the cutting depth of
the saw blade can be limited, for example.
