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. Follow the operating manual for the charger and the battery pack.

2.2 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. English 26– Always use saw blade guard and riving knife 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 and riving knife . The guard and riving knife 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

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 on ly against the direction of rotation. Feed ing the workpiece in the same direction that the saw blade is rotating above the ta ble 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.

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, dis connect the battery pack then clear the jam. Jamming the saw blade by the work piece can cause kickback or stall the mo tor. – 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. English 27Turn 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 battery pack 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 and 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 English 28collection 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 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. Service 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!

2.4 Further safety instructions

Wear suitable personal protective equip ment: Ear protection, safety goggles, a dust mask for work that generates dust. – Harmful/toxic dust may be produced dur ing your work (e.g. paint containing lead, certain types of wood or metals). Contact with or inhalation of this dust may pose a risk for the operating personnel or persons in the vicinity. Comply with the safety regu lations that apply in your country. – Wear suitable breathing protection to pro tect your health. In enclosed spaces, en English 29sure that there is sufficient ventilation and connect a mobile dust extractor. – Check whether there are any signs of damage to the housing components, such as cracks or stress whitening. Have any damaged components repaired before us ing the power tool. – Do not use power supply units or third- party battery packs to operate cordless power tools. Do not use third-party charg ers to charge the battery packs. The use of accessories not expressly authorised by the manufacturer can result in electric shocks and/or serious accidents.

2.5 Sawing aluminium

When sawing aluminium, the following meas ures must be taken for safety reasons: – Wear protective goggles. – Connect the power tool to a suitable dust extractor with an antistatic suction hose. – Regularly clean dust deposits from the mo tor housing on the power tool. – Use an aluminium saw blade. – When sawing panels, they must be lubrica ted with petroleum, but thin-walled profiles (up to 3 mm) can be sawed without lubrica tion.

In spite of compliance with all relevant design regulations, dangers may still present them selves when the power tool is operated, e.g.: – Touching rotating parts: Saw blade, clamp ing flange, flange screw, – Touching live parts while the housing is open, – Workpiece parts being thrown off, – Parts of damaged tools being thrown off, – Noise emissions, – Dust emissions.

The levels determined in accordance with EN 62841 are typically: Sound pressure level L

98 dB(A) Uncertainty K = 3 dB CAUTION Noise generated when working Risk of damage to hearing ► Use ear protection. CAUTION The emission values may deviate from the specified values. This is dependent on how the tool is used and the type of workpiece being machined. ► The actual load during the entire operating cycle must be evaluated. ► Depending on the actual load, suitable pro tective measures must be defined in order to protect the operator. 3 Intended use The CSC SYS 50 is designed as a transportable cordless sliding table saw (table saw with inte grated sliding table) for sawing wood, lamina ted wooden panels and plastic.

When working on the machine, observe all of the safety warnings that are listed at the start as well as the following rules: Before starting – Ensure that the saw blade protective cover is undamaged and the saw blade is un touched at any cutting angles or cutting heights. The flaps on the saw blade protec tive cover must be able to move freely. – There must not be any damage to the plate, cover plate and table insert (e.g. cuts in the sawing gap). Replace any damaged parts immediately. – Never work without using a cover plate, service flap or table insert. – Check that the saw blade is securely in place. – CAUTION! Risk of overheating. Before use, make sure that the battery pack is securely clicked into place. – Position the workpiece so that it is stress- free and level. During work – Risk of tilting. The power tool may tilt if at tempting to machine a workpiece that is too large or too heavy. – Do not wear protective gloves when sawing. Protective gloves may become caught in the saw blade and pull the hand into the saw blade. – Correct working position: On the side of the sliding table next to the saw blade's 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. – Adapt the infeed speed to prevent the cut ters on the saw blade from overheating and prevent plastic materials from melting dur ing cutting.
