7.9 Dust extraction
CAUTION
Breathing in dust can damage the respiratory
passage!
Always connect the machine to a dust extrac-
tor.
When performing work that generates dust,
always wear a dust mask.
The PRECISIO has two extraction connectors: top
protective cover [3-7] 27 mm in diameter and the
lower protective cover [3-3] 35 mm in diameter.
Attach the hose holder [3-6] to the clamp rail on
the saw base to guide the top suction hose.
The extractor set CS 70 AB [3-4] (included in
CS 70 EB scope of delivery) joins both extraction
connectors so that a Festool mobile dust extrac-
tor with 50 mm adapter can be connected.
8 Working with the machine
WARNING
Risk of injury
Always read all safety instructions when
working with the machine!
Never work with the machine in the front po-
sition (set-up position).
Make sure that all rotary knobs on the fence
and the machine are tightened before start-
ing work.
Adjust the top protective cover until it rests on
the workpiece and secure in this position using
the rotary knob [1-11].
8.1 Using the machine as a bench-mounted
circular saw
When used in bench-mounted applications, the
saw is fi xed and the workpiece is moved.
Pull the saw forwards.
Allow the saw to glide back slowly.
You can push the stop lever [1-7] down after a
few millimetres.
If the saw continues to glide back, the stop lever
engages in the guide rod and secures the saw at
the centre of the table (bench saw position).
Use the fence as a longitudinal stop [Fig. 6] to
guide the workpiece.
¤ uide the workpiece by hand. Use the work-
G
piece holder [6-1] to guide the workpiece ac-
curately past the saw blade.
Place the workpiece holder in the store [2-7]
when not in use.
8.2 Using the machine as a trimming saw
When the machine is used for trimming work,
the workpiece remains stationary and the saw is
moved to make the cut.
Turn the rotary knob [2-6] anticlockwise to re-
lease the saw lock.
Push down the stop lever [1-7] to unlock and
move the saw to the forward position so that the
control elements are easy accessible when the
saw settings are adjusted. Turn the rotary knob
[2-6] anticlockwise to release the lock again.
Attach the cross or angle stop [Fig. 1] so that
the workpiece is retained securely on the saw
base.
Alternatively, insert clamps (accessories) in
the groove [1-10] to secure the workpiece.
Use the rotary knob [2-6] to draw the saw for-
wards and make the cut.
After completing the cut, move the saw unit
right back to its starting position before re-
moving the workpiece from the fence.
