Use for intended purpose
These pendulum jigsaws are designed for sawing
wood and wood-like materials. Plastics, steels,
aluminum, non-ferrous metals and ceramic tiles
can also be cut using special sawblades as recom-
mended in the Festool sales documents for the
specifi c materials.
The user shall be liable for damages
and accidents resulting from incorrect use.
Electrical connec-
tion and operation
The mains (supply) voltage must correspond to
the voltage on the rating plate!
See the following Fig. for connecting or discon-
necting the power cord of the tool.
Always switch the machine off before
connecting or disconnecting the power cable!
The PS 300 EQ has a slide switch [1.1] to switch
the tool on and off (I = ON, 0 = OFF).
The PSB 300 EQ has a pushbutton switch [1.1]
to switch the tool on and off. This can be locked
with the locking button [1.8] for continuous
operation. Press the pushbutton switch again to
release the lock.
Extension cord
If an extension power cord is required, it must
have suffi cient cross-section to prevent an exces-
sive drop in voltage or overheating. An excessive
drop in voltage reduces the output and can lead
to failure of the motor. The table below shows you
the correct cord diameter as a function of the cord
length for the PS/PSB 300 EQ.

Cord size (AWG) 18 16 12 10
Use only U.L. and CSA listed extension cords.
Never use two extension cords together. Instead,
use one longer one.
Note: The lower the A.W.G. number, the thicker
the cord.
Tool settings
Always disconnect the plug from the
power supply before making any adjustments to
the tool or installing or removing any accessory!
Electronic control
The PS 300 EQ and PSB 300 EQ have control
electronics which enable stepless adjustment of
the stroke rate between 1000 and 2900 strokes
per minute. The desired stroke rate is set with the
speed controller [3.1, 3.2]:
