to allow the ventilator to cool the motor quickly.
The machine starts up again automatically once
the motor has cooled sufficiently.
6.5 Brake
After switching off the tool, the saw blade is elec-
tronically brought to a standstill in 1.5-2 seconds
(only in 230-240 V models).
6.6 Restart protection
The built-in undervoltage release prevents the
machine from starting up again automatically if
the power is disconnected during continuous use.
In this case, the machine must be switched off and
then switched back on again.
7 Settings on the machine
Always pull the mains plug before main-
taining, servicing or making any kind of
adjustment.
To make adjustments easier, the saw unit can be
locked in place in the central position (fig. 5): Pull
the saw unit forward up to the stop and set the
switch [5-1] to the lower position.
7.1 Cutting height
The cutting height can be continuously adjusted
(0 - 52 mm when the saw blade is set to 90°) by
turning the crank [5-4].
7.2 Mitre angle
The saw blade can be swivelled between 0° and 45°:
- Loosen the rotary knob [5-3],
- Set the mitre angle with the help of the scale [5-6]
by turning the handle [5-2],
- Tighten the rotary knob [5-3].
The saw blade can be tilted 2° beyond the two end
positions for precision trimming work (undercuts
on abutting edges). To do this, press the button
[5-5] in the end position; then the saw blade can
be swivelled to -2° or 47°. After swivelling it back,
the two end positions become active again.
7.3 Changing tools
Safety instructions for the FastFix
clamping nut (fig. 7A).
Close the lift-up handle after tightening
the clamp.
Only tighten or loosen the FastFix clamp-
ing nut by hand. Never use a screwdriver,
pliers or any other tool to loosen or tight-
en the lift-up handle.
If the nut can no longer be loosened by
hand, it should only be loosened with a
face wrench.
If the lift-up handle is loose or damaged,
the FastFix nut must no longer be used
under any circumstances.
Because of the special tool holder, only
saw blades available for this machine
from Festool with a diameter of 190 mm
may be used.
Wear gloves when swapping out tools but
not when cutting.

- The saw blade is placed in the middle of the
flange [8-1] and then turned until the contours
of the flange and the hole of the saw blade click
into place.
