Current limiting
Current limiting prevents excessive current con-
sumption under extreme overload, which can lead
to a decrease in the motor speed. The motor imme-
diately restarts after the load is removed.
Temperature cut-out
When exceeding a certain engine temperature lev-
el, the machine power supply and speed are
capped. The power tool continues operating at re-
duced power to allow the ventilator to cool the mo-
tor rapidly. The power tool resumes to full perfor-
mance automatically once the motor has cooled
sufficiently.
7.2 Connecting the mobile dust extractor
WARNING
Dust hazard

Dust can be hazardous to health. Always work
with a dust extractor.

Always read applicable national regulations be-
fore extracting hazardous dust.
Festool mobile dust extractor
A Festool mobile dust extractor with an extractor
hose diameter of 27 mm or 36 mm (36 mm is rec-
ommended due to the reduced risk of clogging) can
be connected to the extractor connector [2-2] at
the elbow.
7.3 Setting the stop rulers [8]
Moving the stop rulers may make it neces-
sary to implement special settings for in-
clined cutting. In the case of inclined cutting,
there is a risk that the stop ruler will be
sawed.

Open the rotary knobs (on both sides) [8-1].

Move the stop rulers [8-3] in such a way that
there is a maximum clearance of 8 mm from the
saw blade.

While the machine is switched off, lower the
saw unit in a trial run to check whether the saw
blade comes into contact with the stop rulers.

Close the rotary knobs.

The contact surface of the stop ruler can be in-
dividually adjusted by screwing in suitable tap
blocks [8A]. When doing so, ensure that the
functionality of the saw is not restricted in any
way.
7.4 Adjusting the table extension

Open the knob [8-3].
22

Pull out the table extension [8-2] far enough
that the workpiece is laid out fully.

Close the knob.

If, despite the table extension being extended as
far as possible, the workpiece protrudes over
the table, the workpiece must be supported by
other means.
