1 Read before use
1.1 Safety instructions
Please read the enclosed safety notes
before using the machine.
- The operator must have sufficient skills for
setup, adjustment and operation.
- Any machine faults, including protection
devices and tools, should be reported
immediately.
- Only use the machine if protection devices
are set correctly, the machine is fully
operational and has been well maintained.
- nsure that the floor around the machine is
level, in good condition and free of loose
objects (e.g. chips and offcuts).
- Do not remove offcuts or other workpiece
parts from the cutting area while the machine
is still running and until the saw blade stops.
- Once switched off, the saw blade must not be
braked using lateral counter-pressure.
- The pendulum protective cover must be able
to move freely; it must not become stuck in
the open position.
- Wear suitable protective
equipment:
ear protection, safety goggles,
dust mask when carrying out
work which creates dust, and
protective gloves when
working with rough materials
or when changing the saw
blade.
1.2 Intended use
The machine is intended for the sawing of wood,
plastic or aluminium strips in accordance with
normal use.
The machine must not be used to work on any
other materials, in particular steel, concrete and
mineral-based materials.
To saw aluminium, only use aluminium-
cutting saw blades provided by Festool
(see Festool catalogue).
The manufacturer accepts no liability for
damage caused as a result of unauthorised
modifications, such as the attachment of third
party/non-Festool accessories.
The user bears responsibility for damage and
accidents caused by improper use.
1.3 Emission levels
Levels determined in accordance with
EN 61 029 are typically:
sound-pressure level 90 dB( )
noise level 103 dB( )
measured acceleration <2.5 m/s²
Wear ear protection.
1.4 Other risks
In spite of compliance with all relevant design
regulations, dangers may still present
themselves when the machine is operated, e.g.:
- workpiece parts being thrown off;
- parts of damaged tools being thrown off;
- sawdust emission;
- noise emission.
2 Power supply and startup
The mains voltage should correspond to the
specification on the power output label.
Fuse protection for 230 V - 240 V:
10 A fuse or suitable electric cutout.
Switch (1.4) is for switching on / off
(I = ON, 0 = O ).
The switch can only be operated once the lever
(1.5) for unlocking the saw unit has been
actuated.
3 Machine settings
Always disconnect the mains plug from
the socket before making any adjust-
ments or carrying out maintenance
work on the machine.
3.1 Mounting the machine
Position the machine on level ground or use
screw clamps (see Fig. 1) to secure the machine
to a level, stable base (e.g. workbench), so
that it cannot move during use.
3.2 Electronic speed control
ELECTRONIC
The adjusting knurl (1.2) is used to
adjust the speed in infinite variables
between 2,500 min-1 and 5,500 min-1.
This enables you to optimize the cutting speed
to suit the respective material (see table 1.3).

3.3 Changing tools
Safety instructions
- For your own safety, only use original Festool
tools (see Festool catalogue).
Only saw blades that
 correspond to EN 8 7-1,
 have been approved for the maximum speed
of the machine (5,500 min-1),
 have a diameter of 216 mm
can be used.
- Cracked saw blades, or saw blades which have
otherwise become deformed, may not be
used.
- Hi h-alloy, hi h-speed steel (HSS) saw blades
may not be used.
- Always use tools that are appropriate for the
material bein worked.
- Only use tools that have been sharpened
correctly.
To change a tool, proceed as follows:
- Lock the motor shaft by pressing the lock
button (1.1);
- Unscrew screw (1.8) using the accompanying
hexagon spanner; Note: left-hand thread.
- Remove boss flange (1.7);
- Fully retract pivot guard (1.11) and remove
saw blade (1.1 );
- Clean supporting surface between saw blade
and boss flanges
- Insert new saw blade and tighten.
The running direction of the machine
(1.6) must correspond to the rotation
direction of the saw blade (1.9).
The screw (1.8) must be very tight.
- heck whether the saw blade rotates freely
before switching on the machine.
3.4 Adjusting the saw unit
The swivelling range of the saw unit can be
readjusted via screw (2.2). The swivelling range
may need to be adjusted if the diameter of the
saw blade alters during sharpening or if a new
saw blade is fitted.
The saw unit must be set to the lowest position,
as shown in Fig. 3.
The saw blade must not saw into the
aluminium base.
Procedure
- Set fences (2.4) to 0°;
- Loosen lock nut (2.1);
- Swivel the saw unit downwards until it reaches
the fence;
- Ad ust the saw unit by turning screw (2.2)
(turn to the left ® saw unit is lowered;
turn to the right ® saw unit is raised);
- Tighten lock nut (2.1);
3.5 Dust extraction
When working with wood and wood-
based materials, connect the machine
to an extraction system with the
following features:
- extractor corresponding to EN 60 5-2-69,
dust class M;
- Flow rate of at least 90 m /h;
- Vacuum of approx. 5,000 Pa.
Note: Festool extractors CTM 22 E - CTM 55 E
meet these requirements.
For connection to a Festool extractor, either
insert a 27 mm-diameter extraction hose in the
dust extraction outlet (2.3) or ush a 36 mm-
diameter extraction hose over the dust
extraction outlet.
3.6 Transportation
For transportation, the saw unit should be
locked with the transport safety device (4.1)
pushed down and the pivot guard (4.3) closed.
Lift and carry the achine by the hand grip
(4.2) or by the base (4.4).
Never carry or lift the achine by the ovable
pivot guard.
4 Working with the machine
4.1 Setting the cutting angle
- Offer up an adjustable square (5.1) to the
original angle (e.g. corner of room) and
tighten the wing nut (5.2);
- Open the cam le ers (6.2) on both adjustable
fences;
- Transfer the original angle to the saw by
placing the adjustable square on the saw base
and then positioning both pi oted fences flush
to the adjustable square (Fig. 6)
- Close both cam le ers.
4.2 Adjusting the fences
Once the rotary knobs (6.1) have been opened,
the sliding fences (6.3) can be adjusted
longitudinally.
Position the fences as close as possible to the
sa blade and close the rotary knobs.
4.3 Sawing workpieces
In unfortunate cases, the separated
workpiece parts can be caught by the
rotating saw blade and thrown back
when sawing strips. This effect occurs
especially with hard woods (oak, beech)
and is dependent on the profile of the
strip.
- Always ensure, therefore, that no persons or
objects that could be injured or damaged are
located behind the machine.

- If this effect occurs when sawing a strip, put
an additional 25 to 30 mm thick softwood strip
(e.g. roofing board between the stop and
the strip, and saw through both strips
together. This prevents or significantly reduces
the throw-back effect.
Before sawing, make sure that the cam
levers (7.2) and rotary knobs (7.1) on
both fences are closed.
When sawing acute angles or
aluminium (in particular aluminium
profiles), there is a danger of the
workpiece being caught by the saw
blade and thrown backwards.
Therefore, hold the workpiece firmly
and lower the saw unit very slowly.
Only saw one workpiece at a time. If
several workpieces are sawn
simultaneously, there is a danger of the
saw blade throwing individual pieces off
unexpectedly.
- Place the workpiece ( .9) flush to a fence
( .8) and hold it in that position with one
hand.
Long pieces that overhang the surface of the
base should be supported so that the working
end does not tip up.
Note: When sawing inner angles, it may be
necessary to move the redundant sliding fence
(7.3) outwards.
- Push the lever (7.5) this unlocks the saw
unit, opens the pivot guard (7.6) up to halfway
and overrides the activation lock for switch
(7.4);
- Switch on the machine by activating the switch
(7.4) and saw the workpiece by lowering the
saw unit downwards up to the fence.
When the saw unit is lowered, the rollers (7.7)
on the pivot guard slide over the workpiece
which opens the pivot guard.
Never open the pivot guard with your
hands.
- Raise the saw unit and switch the machine
off by releasing the switch (7.4).
Always guide the saw unit steadily
upwards and never release it in the
lower position.
5 Service and maintenance
Always disconnect the mains plug from
the socket before making any adjust-
ments or carrying out maintenance
work on the machine.
All maintenance and repair work which requires
the motor housing to be opened, must only be
carried out by an authorized service workshop.
To ensure constant air circulation, always keep
the cooling-air openings in the motor housing
clean and free of blockages.
eplace the saw blade base insert (1.12) if it is
damaged.
