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 instructions
–
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surface,
when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
–
The charger and power tool are not intended for
use by persons (including children) with limited
physical, sensory or mental ability or without
sufficient experience and/or knowledge, unless
they are supervised by a person responsible for
their safety or have been instructed on how the
charger or power tool is to be used.
Children
should always be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the charger or the power tools.
–
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.
– Do not open the battery pack or the charger. Even
after disconnection from the mains, there is still
a high capacitor voltage inside the charger.
– Make sure that metal objects (such as metal
chips) or fluids do not enter the machine through
the battery pack retaining slots (danger of short
circuit).
– Do not charge battery packs from other manu-
facturers. The charger is designed for charging
original battery packs only. Never charge the battery packs in chargers from other manufacturers. Otherwise there is a danger of fire and
explosion.
–
Protect the battery pack from excessive heat or
constant heat sources such as sunlight or naked
flames.
There is a risk of explosion.
–
Never use water to extinguish burning li-ion
battery packs, always use sand
or a fire blanket.

6.4 Charger wall mount
The charger TRC 3 has two elongated holes on its
back. It can be mounted on a wall using two screws
(e.g. round head or flat head screw with shank diameter of 5 mm) (see Fig.
[3]
).
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 re-
quired 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.
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 disconnect the battery pack from the
machine before every tool change!
If necessary, lift up the chip guard
[4-1]
.
Slide the saw blade
[4-4]
into the opening
[4-2]
as far as the stop with its teeth in the cutting direction.
Turn the saw blade
[4-4]
clockwise approx. 30°.
Check that the saw blade is secure. A loose
saw blade can fall out and cause an injury.
If the saw blade is very small, it is advisable to remove the saw base (see chapter 7.4)
before inserting the saw blade.
Adjust the saw blade guide after every saw blade
change:
The saw blade guide was designed to improve guidance of the saw blade.
Remove the saw base (see chapter 7.4).
Tighten the screw
[4-6]
using the Allen key
[4-
5]
until the jaws are
almost
touching the saw
blade.
Ejecting saw blade
When ejecting the saw blade, hold the electric
power tool such that no persons or animals can
be injured.
Push the saw blade ejection
[4-3]
forwards as
far as the stop.
A tool change is only possible when the tool
holder is located in the upper position!
If the saw blade is stuck and cannot be changed:
Operate the jigsaw at high speed for 3 - 10 seconds.
Actuate the saw blade ejection
[4-3]
again.
7.2 Using the chip guard
The chip guard
[4-1]
prevents chips flying away and
improves the efficiency of the chip extraction system.
Using minimal pressure, push the chip guard
[4-1]
downwards.
LED green - flashing quickly
Battery pack is charged to maximum capacity.
LED green - flashing slowly
Battery pack is charged with
reduced current. Li-ion is
charged to 80 %.
LED green - lit continuously
Charging process has finished or
will not resume because the current charging state is more than
80%.
LED red - flashing
General fault indicator, e.g.
incomplete contact, short circuit,
defective battery pack, etc.
LED red - lit continuously
Battery temperature is outside
the permitted range.
WARNING
Risk of injury, electric shock
Always disconnect the battery pack before any
type of work on the machine!
CAUTION
Hot and sharp tools
Risk of injury
Wear protective gloves.
NOTE
Damage to the machine or saw blade
Do not tighten the screw [4-6] too firmly! It must
be possible to move the saw blade slightly.

C A R V E X
GB
7.3 Inserting the splinterguard
The splinterguard prevents the edges of the material from splintering during the cut, even at the end
where the saw blade exits the material.
Switch off the machine and slide the splinterguard
[5-1]
into the guide
[5-2]
and up to the
saw blade,
Switch on the jigsaw,
On a level surface, slide in the splinterguard
(not using your hand!)
while the machine is operating until it is flush with the front edge of the
saw base (speed setting 5). This beds in the
splinterguard.
When it is worn, push the splinterguard approx.
3 mm further to the rear and continue using it.
To guarantee reliable operation of the splinterguard, it must seal tightly on both sides of the
saw blade. A new splinterguard should therefore be fitted after every saw blade change to
guarantee splinter-free cuts.
7.4 Changing saw table
Open the change lever
[1-8]
.
Removing the saw table downwards.
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 WT-PS 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
[6-3]
allows jigsaws to be
connected to a dust extractor (hose diameter 27
mm).
Insert the extraction adapter into the rear opening of the saw table so that the hook
[6-2]
en-
gages in the
[6-1]
recess.
To remove the extraction adapter, press the
hook
[6-2]
.
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.
Set the dust extractor to continuous operation
for special applications (e.g. low stroke rate,
soft wood).
7.6 Adjusting the pendulum stroke
The pendulum stroke on pendulum jigsaws can be
adjusted to machine different materials with the
correct rate of advance. Select the required setting
using the pendulum stroke switch
[1-11]
:
Position 0 = pendulum stroke off
Position 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 (PSBC 420 EB: 1000 - 3800 rpm). This enables you to optimise the cutting speed to suit the
respective material.
In position A, the automatic load detection is activated: The stroke speed is reduced in idling and is
controlled to the highest value when the blade enters the workpiece.
8 Working with the machine
