7.3 Setting the stop rulers [8]
Moving the stop rulers may make it nec­
essary to implement special settings for
inclined cutting. In the case of inclined cutting,
there is a risk that the stop ruler will be sawed.
► Open the rotary knobs (on both sides) .
► Move the stop rulers [8-3] in such a way
that there is a maximum clearance of 8 mm
from the saw blade.
► While 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.
► Close 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
► Open the rotary knob [8-3].
► Pull out the table extension [8-2] far
enough that the workpiece is laid out fully.
► Close the rotary knob.
If, despite the table extension being exten­
ded as far as possible, the workpiece pro­
trudes over the table, the workpiece must
be supported by other means.
7.5 Selecting the saw blade
Festool saw blades are identified by a coloured
ring. The colour of the ring represents the ma­
terial for which the saw blade is suited.
