Kickbackstop - Festool TSV 60 KEBQ Original Instructions Manual

Procedure
► Place the machine on the workpiece and
position it at a stop (KickbackStop).
► Switch on the machine.
► Slowly push the machine down to the set
cutting depth and push it forward in the cut­
ting direction.
The marks [12-1] indicate the absolute front
and rear cutting points of the saw blade
(Ø 168 mm) when using the saw at maximum
cutting depth with the guide rail.
Plunge cuts with scoring unit
In some cases, it may be necessary to work ini­
tially with the scoring unit only (see section 8.3)
and carry out the through cutting with the main
saw blade in a second procedure. Deactivate
the scoring unit when through cutting with the
main saw blade (see section 8.2).
9.6 Saws with a scoring unit
The scoring unit cuts the surface of the work­
piece slightly wider than the main saw blade.
This means that the main saw blade no longer
comes into contact with the surface, preventing
splinters.
WARNING
Risk of injury
Sawing with the scoring unit creates ex­
tremely sharp cutting edges on the work­
piece. These pose a cutting hazard for fin­
gers, mains power cables, etc.
► Do not touch the cutting edge.
► Always keep mains power cables away
from the cutting edge.
CAUTION
Risk of injury from the rotating scoring unit
saw blade
In the event of a fault in the main unit (e.g.
overload), the main saw blade may stop
while the scoring unit saw blade continues.
► Never reach into the area of the saw blades
while the saw is connected to the mains.
► Fit the guide rail and set the correct play.
► Check the alignment of the scoring unit be­
fore actually cutting with appropriate test
cuts (see section 8.1).
► Saw at the recommended feed speed of 2–
4 m/min. (For a 1 m cut, this equates to a
time of approx. 15–30 seconds).
For maximum precision, do not work with
connected guide rails.

10 KickbackStop

10.1 KickbackStop function
WARNING
Risk of injury
The KickbackStop does not guarantee com­
plete protection against a kickback.
► Always concentrate on your work and refer
to the safety instructions and warnings.
A kickback while working may cause the saw to
lift unintentionally.
The feeler wedge [13-1] detects unintentional
lifting (kickback) of the saw from the workpiece
or a rail during work and triggers the quick-act­
ing braking of the saw blade (Fig. 13A).
This reduces the risk of a kickback. However, it
cannot be entirely ruled out.

Colour Meaning
Green The KickbackStop function is ac­
tive.
Orange The KickbackStop function is deac­
tivated.
Flashing The KickbackStop function is not
orange active.
The saw was started up before the
feeler wedge was pressed against
the workpiece or a guide rail. The
saw's plate is not positioned such
that it is completely level.
Once the saw has been positioned
such that is completely level, the
LED will switch to green. If this is
not the case, check the Kickback­
Stop function (see Section 10.5)
Flashing The KickbackStop function has
red been triggered.
10.2 Unintentional triggering of the
KickbackStop function
Working without a guide rail on an uneven
workpiece may cause the KickbackStop func­
tion to trigger unintentionally (Fig. 13B).
The feeler wedge [13-1] runs along the work­
piece. If there is a recess in the workpiece, the
position of the feeler wedge will correspond to
the position when the workpiece or guide rail is
