Switch On/Off; Acoustic Warning Signal - Festool TSC 55 KEB Notice D'utilisation

English
swivels back up into its initial position in
the protective housing. Do not use the saw
if the upper end position is not secured.
Never clamp or secure the swivelling drive
unit at a specific cutting depth. This would
mean that the saw blade is not protected.
– Check the plunging mechanism prior to use
and do not use the machine if it does not
work correctly.
– Check that the saw blade is securely in
place.
– CAUTION! Risk of overheating. Before use,
make sure that the battery pack is securely
clicked into place
Make sure that the rotary knob [1-2] is
–
tightened before starting work.
– Make sure that the extractor hose does not
snag the entire saw cut, either on the work­
piece, the workpiece support or hazards on
the ground.
– Always secure the workpiece in such a way
that it cannot move during machining.
– Position the workpiece so that it is stress-
free and level.
During work
– Position the saw's plate such that it is al­
ways completely level during any work.
– When working, always hold the power tool
with both hands on the handles [1-1]. This
is a prerequisite for precise work and is es­
sential for plunge-cutting. Plunge into the
workpiece slowly and evenly.
– Only guide the power tool towards the
workpiece when it is switched on.
Always push the saw forwards [11-2], and
–
never towards yourself.
– Adapt the infeed speed to prevent the cut­
ters on the saw blade from overheating and
prevent plastic materials from melting dur­
ing cutting. The harder the material to be
sawn, the lower the feed speed needs to be.
– Make sure that the guard completely sur­
rounds the saw blade before placing the
saw on the worktop or on the ground.

The saw unit can then be moved downwards.
This causes the saw blade to emerge from the
protective cover.

Acoustic warning signal

Acoustic warning signals sound and the ma­
chine switches off in the following operating
states:
peep ― ―
► Change the battery
► Reduce the machine load
9.3 Kickback stop function
WARNING
Risk of injury
The kickback stop does not guarantee com­
plete protection against a kickback.
► Always concentrate on your work and refer
to the safety instructions and warnings.
A kickback while working may cause the saw to
lift unintentionally.
The feeler wedge [8-1] detects unintentional
lifting (kickback) of the saw from the workpiece
or a rail during work and triggers the quick-act­
ing braking of the saw blade (Fig. 8a).
This reduces the risk of a kickback. However, it
cannot be entirely ruled out.
KickbackStop function status LED
Colour Meaning
Green The KickbackStop function is ac­
tive.
Orange The KickbackStop function is deac­
tivated.
Flashing The KickbackStop function is not
orange active.
The saw was started up before the
feeler wedge was pressed against
the workpiece or a guide rail. The
saw's plate is not positioned such
that it is completely level.
Once the saw has been positioned
such that is completely level, the
LED will switch to green. If this is
not the case, check the Kickback­
Stop function (see Section)
Flashing The KickbackStop function has
red been triggered.
