Pro Tips

Use the correct Festool saw blade for the material being cut to improve finish quality and reduce tear-out.
Connect a suitable Festool dust extractor to keep the cut line clearer and reduce dust on indoor installation jobs.
Support long workpieces properly with additional supports, an underframe or trimming attachments to prevent material dipping during the cut.
Use the cutting depth limiter for controlled groove cuts and partial-depth applications.
For skirting and cornice work, consider adding the SM-KS bevel accessory for faster angle transfer.
Keep the supplied hex key in its storage position so blade changes are quicker and less frustrating on site.
