Operation - Festool Carvex PSC 400 EB Original Operating Manual

work which generates dust, and protective
gloves when working with raw materials
and when changing tools.
– Always secure the workpiece in such a man-
ner that it cannot move while being sawed.
– Always connect the machine to a dust ex-
tractor when work involves dust generation.
– Stroboscopic light can cause epileptic
seizures. Do not use this machine if you are
susceptible to epileptic seizures.
– Do not look into the stroboscope light. Looking
into the light source can damage your vision.
5.3 Metal processing
When processing metal, the following
measures must be taken for safety rea-
sons:
– Connect the machine to a suitable dust ex-
tractor.
– Regularly remove dust deposits in the motor
housing.
– Use a metal saw blade.
– Close the chip guard.
Wear protective goggles.

The emission values specified (vibration, noise)
were measured in accordance with the test
conditions stipulated in EN 60745 and are in-
tended for machine comparisons. They are also
used for making preliminary estimates regard-
ing vibration and noise loads during operation.
The emission values specified refer to the main
applications for which the power tool is used. If
the electric power tool is used for other applica-
tions, with other tools or is not maintained suf-
ficiently prior to operation, however, the vibra-
tion and noise load may be higher when the tool
is used. Take into account any machine idling
times and downtimes to estimate these values
more accurately for a specified time period.
This may significantly reduce the load during
the machine operating period.

Operation

6.1 Changing the battery pack
L The cordless jigsaws can be charged using
any Festool battery pack from the BPS Li-
Ion and BPC series.
Risk of injury! Always remove the belt
clip from battery packs from the BPC se-
ries prior to use.
6.2 Switch on/off
The electric power tool has one button
each side for switching on/off.
The PSBC 400 EB also has a variable speed trig-
ger [1-3] with switch lock [1-4]. For continuous
operation, use the button [1-2].
6.3 Charging the battery pack
L The battery pack is delivered partially
charged. To guarantee the full battery pow-
er, charge it completely before using it for
the first time.
