The invention relates to a method for processing a side edge of a panel (2), particularly a floor panel having an upper surface (18) and a lower surface (19), said panel having profiling that corresponds to each other on at least two opposing side edges such that two identically configured panels (2) can be connected and locked to each other by a substantially vertical joining movement in the horizontal and vertical directions, wherein the locking in the vertical direction can be brought about by at least one spring element, which is configured in one piece from a core and movable in the horizontal direction and which snaps behind a locking edge extending substantially in the horizontal direction during the joining movement, and wherein the spring element is exposed relative to the core by means of at least one substantially vertical slot, and at least one of the slots is not continuously configured across the full length of the side edge, wherein the at least one not continuously configured slot is produced by at least one guided tool (41) such that the panel (2) is conveyed beneath the tool (41) in a transport direction (x), the tool (41) is immersed into the core of the panel (2) by means of a pivoting movement and is lifted out of the same in the opposite direction, before the panel (2) is completely conveyed past it beneath the tool (41).
