12.2

Never position large or long workpieces so that 

they bend in the middle or at the cutting face. This 

can lead to the saw blade jamming and recoiling. 

Instead, support the workpiece with several 

wooden battens (12.2), particularly in the vicinity 

of the cutting face.

13.3

13.2

13.1

 The machine must reach full speed 

before cutting begins and should only be switched 

off once cutting has fi nished.

 Only operate the saw away from 

you (pushing the circular saw forwards, 13.3) 

and never towards you (pulling the circular saw 

backwards). If you saw towards you, there is the 

danger that the circular saw might be accelerated 

out of the cutting groove (recoil) and cause serious 

injury.
A) Sawing sections:
- Place the front part of the saw bench on the 

workpiece. The cutting indicator (13.2) displays 

the cutting line for 0° and 45° cuts (without 

guide rail).

- Switch the machine on, and press the saw down 

to the set cutting depth.

- Push the machine in the direction of cut. Take 

care that the saw bench remains fi rmly on the 

workpiece.

- Switch the machine off when cutting is 

completed.

 In order to avoid kickbacks, the 

following in structions absolutely must be observed 

when plunge cutting:

14.1 14.2

- The machine must always be placed with the rear 

edge of the saw table against a fi xed stop. 

  When working with the guide rail, the tool must 

be placed at the kickback stop (14.2), which is 

fi rmly clamped on the guard rail. When not in 

use, the kickback stop can be kept in safe keeping 

at the guide plate (14.1) of the machine. 

- The machine must always be held securely with 

both hands and only plunged slowly.

Procedure: place the machine onto the workpiece 

and position it against a stop (kickback stop), 

switch the machine on, slowly press it down onto 

the set cutting depth and push it forward in the 

cutting direction.
The markings (13.1) display the absolute front 

and the absolute rear cutting points of the saw 

blade (dia. 160 mm) at maximum cutting depth 

and using the guide rail.
C) Sawing 

 When sawing aluminium, the following 

measures must be taken for safety reasons:
• Pre-connect a residual current circuit-breaker.
• Connect the machine to a suitable dust 

extractor.

• Clean the machine regularly of dust deposits in 

the motor housing and in the protective cover.

• Wear protective goggles.
• Aluminium must only be sawed with the special 

saw blades from Festool designed for this 

purpose.

• When sawing panels, they must be lubricated 

with petroleum, thin-walled profi les (up to 3 

mm) can be sawed without lubrication.
