5.4 The Festool guide system FS
The guide rails, which are available in different lengths, allow
for precise, clean cuts and simultaneously protect the
workpiece surface against damage. The guide rail is 5 mm
thick. Hence, when the guide rail is used, always add 5 mm
when setting the cutting depth on the cutting depth scale.
In conjunction with the extensive range of accessories, exact
angled cuts, mitre cuts and fitting work can be completed
with the guide system.
The option of securing using G-clamps ensures a firm hold
and safe working.
The guide clearance of the saw table on the guide rails can be
set with the two setting jaws (15.1, 15.2).
The guide rails are equipped with a splinterguard (15.3, 8.3),
which has to be cut to size before the first use:
- Set the speed of the machine to level 6,
- Place the machine on the rear end of the guide rail,
- Switch the machine on, press it down to the set cutting
depth and cut the splinterguard along the full length without
interruption. The edge of the splinterguard now corresponds
exactly to the cutting edge.

5.5 Multifunction table

The mutifunction table, which is available in two sizes (MFT
800, MFT 1080), makes clamping the workpiece easy and
allows you to saw large and small workpieces safely and
precisely using the guide system. Its many fields of application
make economical and ergonomically convenient work possible.
5.6 Saw blades, other accessories
In order to be able to saw different materials quickly and
cleanly, Festool offers saw blades that are specially designed
for your machine.
The order numbers for these and for other accessories that
allow you to use your Festool portable circular saw effectively
and in many ways, can be found in the Festool catalogue or
on the Internet under "www.festool-usa.com".

Servicing and maintenance

Any maintenance or repair work that requires
opening of the motor or gear housing should only be carried
out by an authorised Customer Service Centre (name supplied
by your dealer)! Maintenance or repair work carried out by
an unauthorised person can lead to the wrong connection of
the power leads or other components, which in turn can lead
to accidents with serious consequences.
To prevent accidents, always remove the plug
from the power supply socket before carrying out any
maintenance or repair work on the machine! Do not use
compressed air to clean the electrical tool! Do not try to clean
parts inside the machine in this way, as you could let foreign
objects in through the openings of the machine housing.
Certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful
to plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline, carbonyl chloride,
cleaning solutions containing chlorine, ammonia and
household cleaners containing ammonia.
To assure the circulation of air, the cool air vents in the motor
housing must always be kept clear and clean.
This unit is fitted with special, automatically disconnecting
carbon brushes. If these become worn, the current is
automatically switched off and the unit shuts down. In this
case, take the unit to an authorised Customer Service Centre
and have the carbon brushes changed.
After being removed away from the workpiece, the machine
automatically returns to its basic position, the saw blade
retracts into the protective cover and the cut-in and release
block engages once again. If this no longer functions, stop
using the hand-operated circular saw and have it repaired
immediately by an authorised Customer Service Centre.
The riving knife must be aligned with the saw blade, and
should not be crooked. A faulty riving knife must be replaced
immediately. Under no circumstances use the saw without
the riving knife because of the increased risk of recoil.
