Festool PD561438 ユーザーズマニュアル

The outrigger splinter guard is used to prevent chipping on 

the offcut side of the sawblade. The outrigger can be 

retracted away from the workpiece when not needed.  
Before the outrigger splinter guard is used for the first 

time, it needs to be trimmed to fit the sawblade. 
1.  Remove the thumbscrew from the outrigger and 

slide the outrigger on to the front edge of the blade 

guard as shown. 

2.  Insert the thumbscrew through the outrigger, 

through the height adjustment slot, and into the 

captive nut on the back side of the outrigger. 

3.  Raise the outrigger to its top position and tighten 

the thumbscrew. 

4.  Place the saw on a stable surface so that the blade 

can be plunged down without cutting the surface 

(or use a piece of scrap wood). 

5.  Set the motor speed to its lowest setting (setting 1). 
6.  Start the saw and slowly plunge the blade to full 

depth. 

 
 

Periodically inspect the riving knife to ensure it is not bent and 

has proper clearance away from the blade. Replace if bent. 
1.  Unplug the saw for safety. 
2.  Raise the FastFix latch lever and plunge the saw until it locks 

into position (see page 10 for more information on the 

FastFix lever). 

3.  Using the arbor wrench (stored in the auxiliary handle) 

loosen the riving knife mounting screw. 

4.  If the riving knife needs replacement, slide it out of its 

mounting, and slide a new knife back in. 

5.  Raise or lower the riving knife so there is a 2 to 4 mm (3/32 

to 5/32 inch) clearance between the knife and the blade. 

6.  Retighten the mounting screw.
