Pro Tips

Use a Festool guide rail for long, straight cuts and panel sizing where accuracy matters.
Fit the splinterguard before finishing cuts where the visible edge must be clean.
Set the cutting depth only slightly deeper than the material thickness for cleaner and safer cutting.
Use dust extraction with the correct hose size to keep the cut line visible and reduce dust build-up.
Use the correct blade for each material; the right blade makes a massive difference to cut quality and blade life.

How to Use

For best results, use with a Guiderail.
Fit the blade securely using the FastFix system and check that all guards operate correctly.
Set the cutting depth according to the material thickness.
Set the bevel angle if an angled cut is required.
Place the saw on the workpiece or Festool guide rail and connect dust extraction if required.
Start the saw and allow the blade to reach the correct speed before plunging into the material.
Guide the saw smoothly and steadily through the cut without forcing the machine.
Allow the blade to stop fully before lifting the saw from the workpiece.
Clean the saw, blade area and extraction port after use.
