7.1 Changing tools
CAUTION
Hot and sharp tools
Risk of injury
Wear protective gloves!
Selecting saw blade
Only use saw blades with a T-shank. The
saw blade should not be longer than
that required for the intended cut. To
ensure safe guidance, during the cut the saw
blade should emerge at the bottom of the
workpiece at every point.
Only use cross-set saw blades when using
the angle and adapter table. We recom-
mend Festool saw blade S 105/4 FSG.
Inserting saw blade
Always pull the mains plug out of the
socket before changing blades.
If necessary, lift up the chip guard [3-1].
Slide the saw blade [3-4] into the opening
[3-2] as far as the stop with its teeth in the
cutting direction.
Turn the saw blade [3-4] clockwise ap-
prox. 30°.
Check that the saw blade is secure. A
loose saw blade can fall out and cause an
injury.
If the saw blade is very small, it is advis-
able to remove the saw base (see chapter
7.4) before inserting the saw blade.
Adjust the saw blade guide after every
saw blade change:
The saw blade guide was designed to improve
guidance of the saw blade.
Remove the saw base (see chapter 7.4).
Tighten the screw [3-6] using the Allen
key [3-5] until the jaws are almost touch-
ing the saw blade.
NOTE
Damage to the machine or saw blade
Do not tighten the screw [3-6] too firmly!
It must be possible to move the saw blade
slightly.
Ejecting saw blade
When ejecting the saw blade, hold the elec-
tric power tool such that no persons or an-
imals can be injured.
Push the saw blade ejection [3-3] for-
wards as far as the stop.
A tool change is only possible when the tool
holder is located in the upper position!
