[. . . ] ­ Wait until the power tool stops completely until placing it down. The tool can become entangled and lead to a loss of control of the power tool. ­ Deformed or cracked saw blades and saw blades with blunt or broken cutting edges must not be used. ­ Always place the pendulum jigsaw on the workpiece with the saw blade running. [. . . ] x Push the saw blade ejection [3-3] forwards as far as the stop. If the saw blade is not ejected: run jigsaw 3 - 10 seconds at a high speed. Actuate saw blade ejector mechanism [3-3] once again. 2 Using the chip guard The chip guard [3-1] prevents chips flying away and improves the efficiency of the chip extraction system. X Using minimal pressure, push the chip guard [3-1] downwards. 3 Inserting splinterguard The splinterguard makes cuts with splinterfree cutting edges possible, even on the exit side of the saw blade. X With the machine switched off, push the splinterguard [4-1] onto the guide up to the saw blade [4-2], X switch on the jigsaw, X with the machine running (Speed range 5), push the splinterguard in on a flat plane until it is flush with the front edge of the saw table. 3 mm further to the rear and continue using it. L To guarantee reliable operation of the splinterguard, it must seal tightly on both sides of the saw blade. For splinter-free cuts, therefore, a new splinterguard should also be used after every saw blade change. Instead of the saw table, the angle table WTPS 400 or adaptation table ADT-PS 400 can be installed at the support. Never saw without the saw table, or one of the other tables offered in the Festool accessories program. X Always read applicable national regulations before extracting hazardous dust. the extraction adapter [5-3] allows jigsaws to be connected to a dust extractor (hose diameter 27 mm). X Insert the extraction adapter into the rear opening of the saw table so that the hook [5-2] engages in the [5-1] recess. x To remove the extraction adapter , press the hook [5-2]. L Due to the low power consumption of the machine (low energy consumption), dust extractors with an automatic switch-on function will only start up when the actual cut is made. 6 Adjusting the pendulum stroke In order to process different materials with an optimum feed movement the pendulum jigsaws have an adjustable pendulum stroke. Select the desired setting with the pendulum stroke switch [1-12]: setting 0 = pendulum stroke off setting 3 = maximum pendulum stroke Recommended settings of the pendulum stroke Hard and soft wood, chip board, wood fibre board Wood core plywood, plywood, plastics Ceramic Aluminium, NF metals Steel 1-3 1-2 0 0-2 0-1 7 Stroke speed control The number of strokes can be adjusted steplessly with the adjusting wheel [1-5] between 1500 and 3800 rpm (PSB 400 EBQ: 1000 - 3800 rpm). This enables you to optimise the cutting speed to suit the respective material. In position A, the automatic load detection is activated: The stroke speed is reduced in idling and is controlled to the highest value when the blade enters the workpiece. Recommended stroke speed (position of the adjusting wheel) Hard and soft wood, plywood board, plywood, chip board Hardboard Plastic Ceramic, metals Steel aluminium, non-ferrous A 4-A 3-A 3-5 2-4 2100 rpm: stroboscope light L In overhead position (+/- 45°), the lighting is switched off completely. [. . . ] see the CMS brochure for more information. X Install your jigsaw with adaptation table in the CMS as described in the operating manual for the CMS-PS. Sawing cutting depths Risk of injury X Select the saw blade length and cutting depth so that the saw blade always stays in the workpiece. Do not throw the power tool in your household waste! [. . . ]
