8.4 Changing the saw table
► Open the change lever [1-10].
► Remove the saw table downwards.
Assembly is performed in reverse se­
quence to removal. Ensure that the saw
table is firmly seated in the guide.
Instead of the saw table, the WT-PS 400 angle
table or ADT-PS 400 base adapter can be instal­
led at the support.
Never saw without the saw table, or one
of the other tables or adapters offered in
the Festool accessories range.
8.5 Dust extraction
WARNING
Heath hazard posed by dust
► Always work with an extractor.
► Only use a dust extractor designed to col­
lect the specific type of dust and particles
from the material being cut.
► Follow OSHA and NFPA regulations to en­
sure a safe work environment.
The extraction adapter [6-3] allows jigsaws to
be connected to a dust extractor (hose diameter
1-1/16" (27 mm)).
► Insert the extraction adapter in the rear
opening of the saw table so that the
hook [6-2] engages in the recess [6-1].
► To remove the extraction adapter, press the
hook [6-2].

Due to the low power consumption of the
machine (low energy consumption), dust
extractors with an automatic switch-on
function will sometimes only start up when
the actual cut is made.
► Set the dust extractor to continuous opera­
tion for special applications (e.g. low stroke
rate, soft wood).
8.6 Adjusting the pendulum stroke
The pendulum stroke on pendulum jigsaws can
be adjusted to machine different materials with
the correct rate of advance. Select the required
setting using the pendulum stroke switch
[1-13]:
Position 0 = pendulum stroke off
Position 3 = maximum pendulum stroke
Recommended pendulum stroke setting
Hardwood, softwood, chipboard, wood fi­
breboard
Blockboard, plywood, plastic
Ceramics
Aluminium, non-ferrous metals
Steel
8.7 Stroke rate control
Using the adjusting wheel [1-6], the stroke rate
can be continuously adjusted between 1500 and
3800 min -1 (PSB 420 EBQ: 1000–3800 min
This enables you to optimise the cutting speed
to suit the respective material.
Automatic load detection is activated in posi­
tion A: The stroke rate drops when idling and is
adjusted to the highest setting when the work­
piece is introduced.
