Working With The Electric Power Tool; Service And Maintenance; Accessories - Festool Trion PS 300 EQ Original Instructions Manual

English
Always use a splinterguard when working
with extraction to prevent the extraction
channels from becoming blocked.

opening of the saw table so that the
hook [2-7] engages in the recess [2-8].
► To remove the extraction adapter, press the
lever [2-6].
8 Working with the electric
power tool
WARNING
Risk of injury
► Always secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move while being
machined.
8.1 Free guidance along a scribe mark
The triangular shape of the splinterguard [4-3]
indicates the cutting line of the saw blade. This
facilitates sawing along a scribe mark.
8.2 Plunging without pre-drilling
In order to produce plunge cuts in wood work­
pieces, the saw table must be in the forward
position (base position, see fig. [1]).
► Position the saw onto the workpiece with
the front edge of the saw table
► and plunge the saw into the workpiece at
the maximum stroke rate and in pendulum
stroke setting 3, see fig. [6].
8.3 Temperature cut-out (only PS 300 EQ)
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.

10 Accessories

The order numbers of the accessories and tools
can be found in the Festool catalogue or on the
Internet at "www.festool.com".
10.1 Festool FS guide system
Using the Festool FS guide system (fig. [7])
makes it easier to produce straight and precise
cuts, especially with material thicknesses of up
to 20 mm. This involves the jigsaw being inser­
ted in a guide rail adapter [7-1] (order no.
490031), which is used to guide it along the
guide rail. In order to set it to have zero play,
there are two adjustable guidance jaws [7-2] on
the guide rail adapter. Only use cross-set saw
blades when using the guide rail adapter. We
recommend the S 75/4 FSG Festool saw blade.
10.2 Parallel side fence
The parallel side fence (order no. 490119) al­
lows the jigsaw to be guided in parallel with the
edge of the workpiece. The parallel side fence
can be installed from both sides of the saw ta­
ble:
► Slide the clamp [8-1] onto the saw table
from the front.
