General safety instructions
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions.
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.
Failure to follow the warnings
Wear a dust mask.
Wear ear protection.
Wear protective goggles.
Wear protective gloves.
1 WORK AREA SAFETY
a)
Keep work area clean and well lit.

b)
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust.

2 ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a)
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
b)
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c)
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d)
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
e)
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f)
If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
3 PERSONAL SAFETY
a)
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
b)
Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c)
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
d)
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
e)
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f)
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g)
If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used.
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4 POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a)
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application.
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b)
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c)
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools.
measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
d)
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e)
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the power tool‘s operation. If damaged, have the power

caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g)
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions taking into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed.
operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
h)
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
Slippery handles do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.

Intended use
Jigsaws are designed for sawing wood and similar
materials similar to wood. With the special saw
blades offered by Festool, these machines can also
be used for sawing plastic, steel, aluminium, nonferrous metal and ceramic plates.
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

The number of strokes can be adjusted steplessly
with the adjusting wheel

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.
Dust extraction
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.
CAUTION
Hot and sharp tools
Risk of injury
X
Wear protective gloves!
Deformed or cracked saw blades and saw
blades with blunt or broken cutting edges
must not be used.
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.
12
L
Only use cross-set saw blades when using the
angle and adapter table. We recommend Festool saw blade S 105/4 FSG.

In the case of very short saw blades, it is advisable to remove the saw table (see chapter
Changing saw table) before inserting 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.

Do not work overhead!
WARNING
Risk of injury
X
With the tool switched off and unplugged, check
for tight fit of the sawblade before starting to
work
X
Always apply the pendulum jigsaw to the workpiece with the sawblade running.
X
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.
When working on small or thin workpieces, always
use a stable base.
When working, hold the electric power tool by the
handle and guide it along the desired cutting line.
For precise cuts and smooth running, use two
hands to guide the electric power tool.
Freely guided sawing along a scribe mark
The triangular shape of the splinterguard
[4-1]
points to the cutting line of the saw blade. This facilitates sawing along a scribe mark.

Metal processing
When processing metal, the following mea-
sures must be taken for safety reasons:
– Connect the machine to a suitable dust extractor.
– Regularly remove dust deposits in the motor
housing.
–Use a metal saw blade.
–Close the chip guard.
Accessories
Use only original Festool accessories and Festool
consumable material intended for this machine because these components are designed specifically
for the machine. Using accessories and consumable material from other suppliers will most likely
affect the quality of your working results and limit
any warranty claims. Machine wear or your own
personal workload may increase depending on the
application. Protect yourself and your machine, and
preserve your warranty claims by always using
original Festool accessories and Festool consumable material!
The order numbers of the accessories and tools can
be found in the Festool catalogue or on the Internet
under "www.festoolusa.com".
