Adjusting The Cutting Depth - Festool TS 55 REQ Guide D'utilisation

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).

Temperature cut-out
The machine power supply is limited and the speed
reduced if the motor exceeds a certain tempera-
ture. The machine continues operating at reduced
power to allow the ventilator to cool the motor
quickly. If the machine temperature exceeds the
maximum permitted value for longer periods, the
machine switches off completely after approx. 40
seconds and can only be switched on again once the
motor has cooled sufficiently.
Current limiting
Current limiting prevents excessive current con-
12
sumption under extreme overload, which can lead
to a decrease in the motor speed. The motor imme-
diately restarts after the load is removed.

Adjusting the cutting depth

The cutting depth can be adjusted to between 0 – 55
mm on the cutting depth stop [3-1]:
Speed The sawing unit can now be pressed down to the set
range cutting depth.

 Included in the scope of delivery you can find a
inch scale for the cutting depth adjustment,
these you can attach optional. This requires that
the scale marks of 0 mm and 0'' match exactly.
