User manual FESTOOL PS 400 EBQ

[. . . ] ­ 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. ­ Check the plug and the cable regularly and should either become damaged, have them replaced by an authorised after-sales service workshop. [. . . ] 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. 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. 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. Risk of injury, electric shock X Always disconnect the mains plug from the socket before performing maintenance work on the machine!X All maintenance and repair work which requires the motor housing to be opened must only be carried out by an authorised service workshop. Damaged safety devices and components must be repaired or replaced in a recognised specialist workshop, unless otherwise indicated in the operating manual. [. . . ] Semi-stationary sawing with the Festool CMS system When combined with the Festool CMS system, the jigsaw becomes a semi-stationary bench saw for profiled cuts. 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. [. . . ]
