Tip or advice Handling instruction 2 Safety warnings

2.1 General power tool safety warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, in structions, illustrations and specifica tions provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. English

272.2 Safety warnings for bench-mounted

1) Guarding related warnings

– Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working order and be properly mounted. A guard that is loose, damaged, or is not functioning correctly must be repaired or replaced. – Always use saw blade guard, riving knife and anti-kickback device for every through–cutting operation. For through- cutting operations where the saw blade cuts completely through the thickness of the workpiece, the guard and other safety devices help reduce the risk of injury. – Immediately reattach the guarding system after completing an operation (such as rabbeting, dadoing or resawing cuts) which requires removal of the guard, riv ing knife and/or anti-kickback device. The guard, riving knife, and anti-kickback de vice help to reduce the risk of injury. – Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the guard, riving knife or the workpiece before the switch is turned on. Inadvertent contact of these items with the saw blade could cause a hazardous condition. – Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, po sitioning and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in reducing the likelihood of kickback. – For the riving knife and anti-kickback de vice to work, they must be engaged in the workpiece. The riving knife and anti-kick back device are ineffective when cutting workpieces that are too short to be engag ed with the riving knife and anti-kickback device. Under these conditions a kickback cannot be prevented by the riving knife and anti-kickback device. – Use the appropriate saw blade for the riv ing knife. For the riving knife to function properly, the saw blade diameter must match the appropriate riving knife and the body of the saw blade must be thinner than the thickness of the riving knife and the cutting width of the saw blade must be wid er than the thickness of the riving knife.

2) Cutting procedures warnings

or hands in the vicinity or in line with the saw blade. A moment of inattention or a slip could direct your hand towards the saw blade and result in serious personal injury. – Feed the workpiece into the saw blade or cutter only against the direction of rota tion. Feeding the workpiece in the same di rection that the saw blade is rotating above the table may result in the workpiece, and your hand, being pulled into the saw blade. – Never use the mitre gauge to feed the workpiece when ripping and do not use the rip fence as a length stop when cross cutting with the mitre gauge. Guiding the workpiece with the rip fence and the mitre gauge at the same time increases the like lihood of saw blade binding and kickback. – When ripping, always apply the workpiece feeding force between the fence and the saw blade. Use a push stick when the dis tance between the fence and the saw blade is less than 150 mm, and use a push block when this distance is less than 50 mm. “Work helping” devices will keep your hand at a safe distance from the saw blade. – Use only the push stick provided by the manufacturer or constructed in accord ance with the instructions. This push stick provides sufficient distance of the hand from the saw blade. – Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A damaged push stick may break causing your hand to slip into the saw blade. – Do not perform any operation “freehand”. Always use either the rip fence or the mi tre gauge to position and guide the work piece. “Freehand” means using your hands to support or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence or mitre gauge. Freehand saw ing leads to misalignment, binding and kickback. – Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade. Reaching for a workpiece may lead to accidental contact with the moving saw blade. – Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the rear and/or sides of the saw table for long and/or wide workpieces to keep them lev el. A long and/or wide workpiece has a ten dency to pivot on the table’s edge, causing loss of control, saw blade binding and kick back. – Feed workpiece at an even pace. Do not bend or twist the workpiece. If jamming occurs, turn the tool off immediately, un English 28plug the tool then clear the jam. Jamming the saw blade by the workpiece can cause kickback or stall the motor. – Do not remove pieces of cut-off material while the saw is running. The material may become trapped between the fence or in side the saw blade guard and the saw blade pulling your fingers into the saw blade. Turn the saw off and wait until the saw blade stops before removing material. – Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the table top when ripping workpieces less than 2 mm thick. A thin workpiece may wedge under the rip fence and create a kickback.

3) Kickback causes and related warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece due to a pinched, jammed saw blade or mis aligned line of cut in the workpiece with respect to the saw blade or when a part of the work piece binds between the saw blade and the rip fence or other fixed object. Most frequently during kickback, the workpiece is lifted from the table by the rear portion of the saw blade and is propelled towards the opera tor. Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or in correct operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below. – Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always position your body on the same side of the saw blade as the fence. Kickback may propel the workpiece at high velocity towards anyone standing in front and in line with the saw blade. – Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to pull or to support the workpiece. Accidental contact with the saw blade may occur or kickback may drag your fingers in to the saw blade. – Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut off against the rotating saw blade. Pressing the workpiece being cut off against the saw blade will create a binding condition and kickback. – Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece against the saw blade and create kickback. – Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece against the table and fence when making non-through cuts such as rabbeting, dado ing or resawing cuts. A featherboard helps to control the workpiece in the event of a kickback. – Use extra caution when making a cut into blind areas of assembled workpieces. The protruding saw blade may cut objects that can cause kickback. – Support large panels to minimise the risk of saw blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Support(s) must be placed under all por tions of the panel overhanging the table top. – Use extra caution when cutting a work piece that is twisted, knotted, warped or does not have a straight edge to guide it with a mitre gauge or along the fence. A warped, knotted, or twisted workpiece is unstable and causes misalignment of the kerf with the saw blade, binding and kick back. – Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked vertically or horizontally. The saw blade could pick up one or more pieces and cause kickback. – When restarting the saw with the saw blade in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged in the material. If the saw blade binds, it may lift up the workpiece and cause kickback when the saw is restar ted. – Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sufficient set. Never use warped saw blades or saw blades with cracked or bro ken teeth. Sharp and properly set saw blades minimise binding, stalling and kick back.

4) Table saw operating procedure warnings

– Turn off the table saw and disconnect the power cord when removing the table in sert, changing the saw blade or making adjustments to the riving knife or saw blade guard, and when the machine is left unattended. Precautionary measures will avoid accidents. – Never leave the table saw running unat tended. Turn it off and don’t leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop. An unat tended running saw is an uncontrolled haz ard. – Locate the table saw in a well-lit and level area where you can maintain good footing English 29and balance. It should be installed in an area that provides enough room to easily handle the size of your workpiece. Cram ped, dark areas, and uneven slippery floors invite accidents. – Frequently clean and remove sawdust from under the saw table and/or the dust collection device. Accumulated sawdust is combustible and may self-ignite. – The table saw must be secured. A table saw that is not properly secured may move or tip over. – Remove tools, wood scraps, etc. from the table before the table saw is turned on. Distraction or a potential jam can be dan gerous. – Always use saw blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of ar bour holes. Saw blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run off-centre, causing loss of control. – Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade mounting means such as flanges, saw blade washers, bolts or nuts. These mounting means were specially designed for your saw, for safe operation and opti mum performance. – Never stand on the table saw, do not use it as a stepping stool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted. – Make sure that the saw blade is installed to rotate in the proper direction. Do not use grinding wheels, wire brushes, or abrasive wheels on a table saw. Improper saw blade installation or use of accessories not recommended may cause serious in jury.

2.3 Further safety instructions

Wear suitable personal protective equip ment: Ear protection, protective goggles, dust mask for work that generates dust and protective gloves for changing tools. – Faults on the power tool, including the sep arating guards or the tool, must be repor ted to maintenance staff immediately. The machine must not be used until the fault has been eliminated. – Check the plug and cable on a regular ba sis and, if they are damaged, have them re placed by an authorised customer service workshop. – Use of your own aids e.g. rulers, etc. is not permitted. – Only for AS/NZS: The tool shall always be supplied via residual current device with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

2.4 Safety instructions for the pre-

assembled saw blade Usage – The maximum speed specified on the saw blade must not be exceeded and the speed range must be adhered to. – The pre-installed saw blade is only de signed for use in circular saws. – Proceed with extreme care when unpack ing, packing and handling the tool (e.g. in stalling it in the machine). There is a risk of injury from extremely sharp cutting edges! – When handling the tool, wearing safety gloves provides a more secure hold of the tool and further reduces the risk of injury. – Circular saw blades with cracked bodies must be replaced. Repair is not permitted. – Circular saw blades with a combination de sign (soldered saw teeth) with saw tooth thickness smaller than 1 mm must no lon ger be used. – WARNING! Do not use tools with visible cracks or blunt or damaged cutting edges. Installation and mounting – Tools must be clamped in such a way that they cannot come loose during operation. – When assembling the tools, it must be en sured that the clamping takes place on the tool hub or the clamping surface of the tool, and that the cutting edges do not come into contact with other components. – Do not lengthen the key or tighten by hitting with a hammer. – The clamping surfaces must be cleaned to remove contamination, grease, oil and wa ter. – Clamping screws must be tightened ac cording to the manufacturer's instructions. – Only securely installed rings, e.g. rings that have been pressed in or those that are held in position by an adhesive bond, may be used to adjust the hole diameter of circular saw blades to the spindle diameter of the machine. The use of loose rings is not per mitted. English 30Service and maintenance – Repairs and sanding work may only be car ried out by Festool customer service work shops or experts. – The tool design must not be changed. – Deresinify and clean the tool regularly (cleaning agent with pH between 4.5 and 8). – Blunt edges can be resharpened on the clamping surface to a minimum cutting edge thickness of 1 mm. – Only transport the tool in suitable packag ing – risk of injury!

2.5 Aluminium processing

The TKS 80 EBS is monitored electronically with the following properties: Smooth start-up The electronically controlled smooth start-up function ensures that the power tool starts up smoothly. The limited starting current ensures that even standard household fuses are not triggered. Speed control You can regulate the speed within the continu ously variable speed range using the adjusting wheel [2-7] (see section 4). This enables you to optimise the cutting speed to suit the respective material. Speed range per material Wood 6 Laminate, mineral materials 2–5 Aluminium, plastic 3–6 The preselected motor speed is kept constant through electronic control. This ensures a uni form cutting speed even when under load. Overload safety device The power supply is restricted if the power tool is overloaded to extremes. The power supply is disconnected completely if the motor jams for some time. You will need to remove the load and/or switch off the power tool before you can use it again. Temperature cut-out To avoid the motor overheating, the power con sumption is limited at an excessive motor tem perature (e.g. if the pressure is too high while working). If the temperature continues to rise, the power tool switches off. It can only be switched on again once the motor has cooled sufficiently. English 37Brake The saw blade is stopped electronically within approx. 3 seconds of switching off the machine. Restart protection The built-in restart protection prevents the power tool from starting up again automatically if the power is disconnected during continuous use. To put the power tool back into operation, it must first be switched off and then on again.

10 Working with the electric power tool

When working on the machine, observe all of the safety warnings that are listed at the start and the following rules: Safety devices – Only use the power tool if all safety devices are in their correct positions and the power tool is in good condition and has been well maintained. – Always use the supplied spacer wedges and the guard. Ensure that they are set correctly as described in the operating manual. If a spacer wedge is set incorrectly and components that are required for safe ty reasons (such as the guard) are re moved, this may result in serious injuries. English 41– There must not be any damage to the plate and table insert (e.g. cuts in the sawing gap). If a plate or table insert is damaged, replace it immediately. – Never work without using a table insert. Working position – Correct working position: – At the front on the side of the operator; – Head-on to the saw; – Beside the line of cut. – Risk of injury from ejected parts. Any per sons standing in the vicinity of the saw may be injured. Maintain distance from the saw. Putting down and ready to work – To avoid tripping, hang the power cord on the power cord holders (see section 7 ) and put the mobile dust extractor down near the power tool. Protective gloves – Do not wear protective gloves when sawing. Protective gloves may become caught in the saw blade and pull the hand into the saw blade. Speed – To prevent the saw blade from overheating or the plastic from melting, set the correct speed for the cutting material and do not use excess pressure when cutting. Electronics – Do not work on the power tool if its elec tronics are defective as this may lead to ex cessive speeds. You can tell if the electron ics are defective if there is no smooth start- up, if it is not possible to regulate the speed and in the event of generation of smoke or the smell of burning from the machine. Workpieces – Do not work with oversized and heavy workpieces that could damage the tool. – Support long workpieces on the receiving side. Area of the saw blade – Keep the cutting area behind the saw blade free of offcuts or other workpiece parts. – Do not remove offcuts or other workpiece parts from the cutting area while the bench-mounted circular saw is still run ning or before the saw blade stops moving. – If the saw blade is jammed, switch the ma chine off immediately and disconnect the mains plug. Do not remove the jammed workpiece until you have done this.
