Systainer
Many Festool products are shipped in a unique
system container, called "Systainer". This
provides protection and storage for the tool and
accessories. The Systainers are stackable and
can be interlocked together. They also can be
interlocked atop Festool CT dust extractors.

- Place one systainer on top of the other.
- Release all four latches on the lower systainer
by pulling back at their top edges (15.1).
- Slide all four latches upward (15.2).
- Snap all four latches back to their fl at position
(15.3) so they engage the stacking tabs of the
upper systainer.
Servicing and maintenance
Any maintenance or repair work that
requires opening of the motor or gear housing
should only be carried out by an authorised
Customer Service Centre (name supplied by
your dealer) ! Maintenance or repair work carried
out by an unauthorised person can lead to the
wrong connection of the power leads or other
components, which in turn can lead to accidents
with serious consequences.
To prevent accidents, always remove
the plug from the power supply socket before
carrying out any maintenance or repair work on
the machine! Do not use compressed air to clean
the electrical tool! Do not try to clean parts inside
the machine in this way, as you could let foreign
objects in through the openings of the machine
housing.
Certain cleaning agents and solvents
are harmful to plastic parts. Some of these are:
gasoline, carbonyl chloride, cleaning solutions
containing chlorine, ammonia and household
cleaners containing ammonia.
• To assure the circulation of air, the cool air vents
in the motor housing must always be kept clear
and clean.
• This unit is fi tted with special, automatically
disconnecting carbon brushes. If these become
worn, the current is automatically switched off
and the unit shuts down. In this case, take the
unit to an authorised Customer Service Centre
and have the carbon brushes changed.
• After being removed away from the workpiece,
the machine automatically returns to its
basic position, the saw blade retracts into the
protective cover and the cut-in and release block
engages once again. If this no longer functions,
stop using the hand-operated circular saw and
have it repaired immediately by an authorised
Customer Service Centre.
• The riving knife must be aligned with the saw
blade, and should not be crooked. A faulty riving
knife must be replaced immediately. Under no
circumstances use the saw without the riving
knife because of the increased risk of recoil.
• Even with proper usage the teeth of the saw
blade become blunt in time. Change the saw
blade as soon as you notice that you need a
greater force to push the machine during sawing
or the quality of cut has deteriorated. Take blunt
saw blades back to an authorised Customer
Service Centre for re-sharpening. Take the saw
blades out when you want to clean them of resin
and wood. Use kerosene for cleaning the saw
blades.
Accessories
The order numbers for these and for other
accessories that allow you to use your Festool
portable circular saw effectively and in many ways,
can be found in the Festool catalogue or on the
Internet under www.festool-usa.com.
Parallel stop, table widener
A parallel stop can be used for section widths up
to 180 mm.
The parallel stop can also be used as a table
widener.
Side-mounted cover, false joints
The cover that can be mounted on the side of
the protective cover improves the effect of dust
extraction for 0° cuts.
Simultaneously, the cover can be used as a false
joint stop for false joint widths from 18 mm
onwards.
