Smooth start-up
The smooth start-up ensures the machine starts
up jolt-free.
Speed adjustment
You can regulate the speed steplessly between
2000 and 5200 min using the adjusting wheel
-1
(1.6). This enables you to optimise the cutting
speed to suit the material (see table 1).
Constant speed
The pre-selected speed remains constant
whether the machine is in operation or in neut-
ral position.
Temperature cut-out
To prevent overheating, the safety electronics
switches the machine off when it reaches a cri-
tical motor temperature. Let the machine cool
down for approx. 3-5 minutes before using it
again. The machine requires less time to cool
down if it is running, i.e. in neutral position.
Current limiting
Current limiting prevents permissibly high
current consumption under extreme overload.
This can lead to a decrease in the motor speed.
The motor immediately restarts after the load
is removed.
Brake (only TS 55 EBQ)
After switching-off the tool, the saw blade is
electronically brought to a standstill in 1.5 – 2
seconds.
4.2 Cutting depth
The cutting depth can be set at 0 – 55 mm:
- Press the cutting depth stop (2.3) and move
it to the desired cutting depth (the values
specifi ed on the scale (2.1) apply to 0° cuts
without guide rail),
- Release the cutting depth stop (the cutting
depth stop notches along in 1 mm-steps).
The sawing unit can now be pressed down to
the set cutting depth.
A grub screw (M4x8 to M4x12) can be screwed
into the hole (2.2) on the cutting depth stop. By
turning the grub screw, the cutting depth can
be set even more exactly (± 0.1 mm).
4.3 Cutting angle
The sawing unit can be swivelled between 0°
and 45°:
- Loosen rotary knobs (2.4, 2.6),
- Swivel sawing unit to the desired cutting angle
(2.5),
- Retighten rotary knobs.
Note: both end positions (0° and 45°) are set
at the factory and can be readjusted by the
after-sales service team.
4.4 Changing the saw blade
- Move lever (3.2) as far as it will go,
- Push switch lock (3.1) up and push sawing
unit down until it locks into place,
- Loosen screw (3.4) with Allen key (3.3),
- Remove saw blade,
- Clean fl ange (3.8, 3.10),
- Insert new saw blade.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
- Insert outer fl ange (3.10) such that the lo-
cking pins engage into the notches on the
inner fl ange (3.8).
- Tighten screw (3.4),
- Put lever (3.2) back.
4.5
- Move lever (3.2) as far as it will go,
- Push switch lock (3.1) up and push sawing
unit down until it locks into place,
- Loosen screw (3.6) with Allen key (3.3),
- Set spacer wedge as shown in diagram 3,
- Tighten screw (3.6),
- Put lever (3.2) back.
4.6
Always connect the machine to a dust extrac-
tor. A Festool dust extractor with an extractor
hose diameter of 36 mm or 27 mm (36 mm
recommended due to the reduced risk of clog-
ging) can be connected to the rotating extractor
connector (4.1)
4.7
The splinterguard (accessories) signifi cantly
improves the quality of the cutting edge of the
sawn workpiece on the upper side for 0° cuts.
- Attach splinterguard (5.1) onto the protective
cover,
- Place machine onto the workpiece or the guide
rail,
- Press splinterguard down until it sits on the
workpiece and tighten it with the rotary knob
(5.2).
- Saw splinterguard in (machine to maximum
cutting depth and speed range 1)

5.1
The cutting indicator (4.3) displays the cutting
line for 0° and 45° cuts (without guide rail).
5.2
Place the machine with the front part of the saw
table on the workpiece, switch the machine on,
press it down onto the set cutting depth and
push it forward in the cutting direction.
14
The direction of rotation of the saw
blade (3.9) and the machine (3.7) must
be the same.

Mounting the splinterguard
Working with the machine
Always secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move while being
sawed.
The machine must always be held with
both hands by the designated handles
(1.1, 1.7).
Always push the machine forwards
(1.2), never pull the machine back-
wards towards you.
