with a dust extractor.
XAlways read applicable national regulations
before 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
recommended due to the reduced risk of clogging)
can be connected to the extractor connector [2-2]

7.3 Setting the stop rulers [8]
Moving the stop rulers may make it
necessary to implement special settings
for inclined cutting. In the case of inclined
cutting, there is a risk that the stop ruler
will be sawed.

XMove the stop rulers [8-3] in such a way that
there is a maximum clearance of 8 mm from
the saw blade.
XWhile 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.
XClose the rotary knobs.
The contact surface of the stop ruler can
be individually 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
