Festool Trion PS 300 EQ Original Instructions Manual page 10

► Close the clamping lever.
7.2 Adjusting the saw blade guidance
To be better able to guide the saw blade, pen­
dulum jigsaws have an additional carbide
guide [3-2] immediately above the workpiece.
► Tighten the screw [3-3] using the allen
key [1-5] until the jaws are almost touching
the saw blade.
It must be possible to move the saw blade
slightly.
7.3 Inserting the splinterguard
The splinterguard prevents the edges of the
material from splintering during the cut, even
at the end where the saw blade exits the mate­
rial.
► Switch off the machine and slide the splin­
terguard [4-3] onto the guide [4-2] and up
to the saw blade.
► Switch on the jigsaw.
► With the machine running, push the splin­
terguard in on a flat plane until it is flush
with the front edge of the saw table. This
cuts into the splinterguard.
To guarantee reliable operation of the
splinterguard, it must seal tightly on both
sides of the saw blade. A new splinter­
guard should therefore be fitted after ev­
ery saw blade change to guarantee splint­
er-free cuts.
7.4 Inserting the chip guard
The chip guard prevents chips from flying away
and improves the efficiency of the chip extrac­
tion system.
► Insert the chip guard [2-10] between the
saw table and the clamping lever.
► Gently slide the chip guard back until it en­
gages.
7.5 Adjusting the saw table
For bevel cuts, the saw table can be swivelled
to either side by up to 45°.
► Remove the chip guard and the splinter­
guard.
► Open the clamping screw [4-1] with the al­
len key .
► Slide the saw table forwards by approx.
5 mm.
► Set the desired inclination using the
scale [5-2].
► Tighten the clamping screw [4-1].
To saw close to the edges, the saw table can be
shifted backwards.
► Remove the chip guard and the splinter­
guard.
► Open the clamping screw [4-1] with the al­
len key .
► Slide the saw table into the rear position so
that the centring mandrel [5-1] slots into
the opening [5-3].
► Tighten the clamping screw [4-1].
7.6 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 [1-6]:
Position 0 = pendulum stroke off
Position 3 = maximum pendulum stroke
Recommended pendulum stroke setting
Hardwood, softwood, chipboard, wood
fibreboard
Blockboard, plywood, plastic
Ceramics
Aluminium, non-ferrous metals
Steel
7.7 Stroke speed control
The stroke rate can be continuously adjusted
between 1000 and 2900 min
ing wheel [1-3; 2-4]. This enables you to opti­
mise the cutting speed to suit the respective
material.
Recommended stroke speed (position of the
adjusting wheel)
Hard and soft wood, blockboard, ply­
wood, chipboard
Fibreboard
Plastic
Ceramic, aluminium, non-ferrous
metals
Steel
7.8 Extraction
WARNING
Health risk due to dust
► Always work with an extractor.
► Comply with national regulations.
The extraction adapter [2-5] allows jigsaws to
be connected to a dust extractor (hose diameter
27 mm).
