Intended use

Cordless circular saws are designed for sawing
wood, materials similar to wood, plaster and ce-
ment-bonded fibre materials and plastics. When
fitted with special saw blades for aluminium of-
fered by Festool, the machines can also be used for
sawing aluminium.
Only saw blades with the following specifications
may be used: Saw blade diameter 160 mm, cutting
width 2,2 mm, location hole 20 mm, max. standard
blade thickness 1,8 mm, suitable for speeds up to
-1
9500 min . Never use abrasive wheels in the ma-
chine.
The machine is designed and approved for use by
trained persons or specialists only.
The user is liable for improper or non-in-
tended use.

Changing the battery pack

Removing the battery pack [2 A]
Inserting the battery pack [2 B]

Please note! Machine operation is only possible
under the following conditions [2 C]:
Both battery packs are used. Maximum
power with two battery packs (36 V).
Only the lower battery pack is used. Less
power with one battery pack (14.4 V/18 V).
6.2

Capacity display

The capacity display [1-12] automatically displays
the charge state of the battery pack [1-6] when the
ON/OFF switch is actuated:
70 - 100 %
40 - 70 %
15 - 40 %
< 15 %
Recommendation: Charge bat-
tery pack before further use.
LED red – lit continuously: bat-
tery, electronics or motor tem-
perature is outside the permitted
range.
LED red – flashing: indicates a
general fault, e.g. incomplete
contact, short circuit, battery
pack faulty, etc.

WARNING
Risk of injury, electric shock

Always disconnect the battery packs from the
machine before performing any type of work on
the machine!
7.1 Electronics
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up en-
sures that the machine starts up jolt-free.
Constant speed
The motor speed remains constant through elec-
tronic control to ensure a uniform cutting speed
even when under load.
Speed control
You can regulate the speed steplessly within the
speed range using the adjusting wheel [1-10] (see
Technical data). This enables you to optimise the
cutting speed to suit the surface (see table 1).
Current limiting
Current limiting prevents excessive current con-
sumption under extreme overload, which can lead
to a decrease in the motor speed. The motor imme-
diately restarts after the load is removed.
Brake
The TSC 55 REB is fitted with an electronic brake.
When the saw is switched off, the saw blade slows
to a stop electronically within approx. 2 seconds.
Temperature cut-out
When exceeding a certain engine temperature lev-
el, the machine power supply and speed are
capped. The power tool continues operating at re-
duced power to allow the ventilator to cool the mo-
tor rapidly. The power tool resumes to full perfor-
mance automatically once the motor has cooled
sufficiently.
7.2

Adjusting the cutting depth

The cutting depth can be adjusted to between 0 – 55
mm on the cutting depth stop [3-1]:
The sawing unit can now be pressed down to the set
cutting depth.
Cutting depth without guide rails
max. 55 mm
Cutting depth with guide rail FS
+FS
max. 51 mm
