Working With The Machine - Festool PRECISIO CS 70 EB Original Operating Manual

P R E C I S I O
fSet the saw blade to the minimum cutting
depth.
fSlide the splinterguard [8-3] up to the side of
the retainer [8-1].
fPlace the table insert [1-4] in position and
tighten the rotary knob [5-1].
fSwitch on the machine and move the saw blade
slowly upwards to the maximum cutting depth.
This beds in the splinterguard. The raised sec-
tion [8-4] of the splinterguard should protrude
slightly (approx. 0.3 mm) over the edge of the
table so that the splinterguard functions more
effectively.
fUnscrew both screws [8-2] to adjust the height
of the retainer [8-1].
7.9 Dust extraction
CAUTION
Breathing in dust can damage the respiratory
passage!
fAlways connect the machine to a dust extrac-
tor.
fWhen performing work that generates dust,
always wear a dust mask.
The PRECISIO has two extraction connectors:
upper guard [3-7] 27 mm in diameter and the
lower guard [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.
7.10 Set the ruler/scale
Set the ruler/scale with clamping bolts to differ-
ent saw blade width if nec.

Working with the machine

WARNING
Risk of injury
fAlways read all safety instructions when
working with the machine!
fNever work with the machine in the front po-
sition (set-up position).
fMake sure that all rotary knobs on the fence
and the machine are tightened before start-
ing work.
fFor safety reasons, NEVER work without an
upper guard fitted.
Adjust the upper guard until it rests on the work-
piece 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 fixed and the workpiece is moved.
fPull the saw forwards.
fAllow the saw to glide back slowly.
fYou 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.
f uide the workpiece by hand. Use the work-
G
piece holder [6-1] to guide the workpiece ac-
curately past the saw blade.
fPlace 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.
fTurn 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.
fAttach the cross or angle stop [Fig. 1] so that
the workpiece is retained securely on the saw
base.
