5 Safety instructions
5.1 General safety instructions
WARNING! Read all safety warnings
and all instructions.
Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions 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.
5.2 Machine-related safety instruc-
tions
–
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
–
Festool electric power tools must only
be installed on work tables provided by
Festool for this purpose.
If the tool is installed in another, or self-made, work table,
it can become unstable and result in serious
accidents.
–
Wait until the power tool stops completely until placing it down.
The tool can
become entangled and lead to a loss of control of the power tool.
– 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.
– Wear suitable protection such as ear protec-
tion, safety goggles, a dust mask for work
which generates dust, and protective gloves
when working with raw materials and when
changing tools.
– Always secure the workpiece in such a man-
ner that it cannot move while being sawed.
– Always connect the machine to a dust ex-
tractor when work involves dust generation.
– Check the plug and the cable regularly and
should either become damaged, have them
replaced by an authorised after-sales service workshop.
–
Stroboscopic light can cause epileptic
seizures.
Do not use this machine if you are
susceptible to epileptic seizures.
–
Do not look into the stroboscope light.
Looking into the light source can damage
your vision.
5.3 Metalworking
The following precautions are to be taken when processing metals for safety
reasons:
– Pre-connect a residual current circuit-break-
er (FI, PRCD).
– Connect the machine to a suitable dust ex-
tractor.
– Clean tool regularly of dust accumulations in
the motor housing.
5.4 Emission levels

CARVEX
GB
The emission values specified (vibration,
noise) were measured in accordance with the
test conditions stipulated in EN 60745 and are
intended for machine comparisons. They are
also used for making preliminary estimates regarding vibration and noise loads during operation.
The emission values specified refer to the
main applications for which the power tool is
used. If the electric power tool is used for other applications, with other tools or is not maintained sufficiently prior to operation, however,
the vibration and noise load may be higher
when the tool is used. Take into account any
machine idling times and downtimes to estimate these values more accurately for a specified time period. This may significantly reduce
the load during the machine operating period.
6Operation
Connecting and detaching the mains power
cable [1-7] see Fig. [2].
X
Insert the plug into a socket.
The electric power tool has one button [1-2]
on each side for switching on/off.
The PSB 400 EBQ also has a variable speed
trigger [1-3] with switch lock [1-4]. For continuous operation, use the button [1-2].
7 Settings
7.1 Changing tools
Selecting saw blade
Only use saw blades with a T-shank. The
saw blade should not be longer than
that required for the intended cut. To
ensure safe guidance, during the cut the saw
blade should emerge at the bottom of the
workpiece at every point.
L
Only use cross-set saw blades when using
the angle and adapter table. We recommend Festool saw blade S 105/4 FSG.
Inserting saw blade
Always pull the mains plug out of the
socket before changing blades.
X
If necessary, push the chip guard [3-1] upwards.
X
Push the saw blade [3-4] into the opening
as far as the stop with its teeth in cutting
direction [3-2].
X
Turn the saw blade [3-4] approx. 30° clockwise until it engages.
The guidance jaws adjust automatically to the
saw blade used.
Check that the saw blade is secure. A
loose saw blade can fall out and cause
an injury.
L
In the case of very short saw blades, it is
advisable to remove the saw table (see
chapter
7.4
) before inserting the saw
blade.

Ejecting saw blade
L
When ejecting the saw blade, hold the electric power tool such that no persons or animals can be injured.
X
Push the saw blade ejection [3-3] forwards
as far as the stop.
If the saw blade is not ejected:
run jigsaw
3 - 10 seconds at a high speed. Actuate saw
blade ejector mechanism [3-3]once again.
7.2 Using the chip guard
The chip guard [3-1] prevents chips flying
away and improves the efficiency of the chip
extraction system.
X
Using minimal pressure, push the chip
guard [3-1] downwards.
7.3 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. This beds in the splinterguard.
L
When it is worn, push the splinterguard approx. 3 mm further to the rear and continue
using it.
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.
7.4 Changing saw table
X
Open the change lever [1-9].
X
Removing the saw table downwards.
L
Assembly is performed in reverse sequence
to removal. Ensure that the saw table is
firmly seated in the guide.
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.
7.5 Dust extraction
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.
X
To remove the extraction adapter, press the
hook [5-2].
L
Due to the low power consumption of the
machine (low energy consumption), dust
extractors with an automatic switch-on
function will sometimes only start up when
the actual cut is made.
X
Set the dust extractor to continuous operation for special applications (e.g. low stroke
rate, soft wood).
7.6 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
7.7 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.
WARNING
Dust hazard
X
Dust can be hazardous to health. Always
work with a dust extractor.
X
Always read applicable national regulations before extracting hazardous dust.
