Cutting Depth; Cutting Angle; Dust Extraction - Festool TS 55 EQ Guide D'utilisation

- Use only saw blades with a fundamental thick-
ness of max. 1.8 mm and a cutting width of 2.2
to 3.0 mm.
The TS 55 EQ was tested with Festool saw blades
listed in the Festool catalogue. For your own safe-
ty, we recommend that you use only those saw
blades.
To change the saw blade, place the circular saw
on the saw bench so that the saw blade protrudes
a few millimetres beyond the edge of the bench.
Remember that saw blades are made for sawing
and the cutting edges are correspondingly sharp.
So handle the saw blade with care.

Cutting depth

The cutting depth can be set at 0 – 55 mm:
7.1
7.2
7.3
- Press the cutting depth stop (7.3) and move it
to the desired cutting depth (the values speci-
fi ed on the scale (7.1) 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 (M 4 x 8 to M 4 x 12) can be screwed
into the hole (7.2) on the cutting depth stop. By
turning the grub screw, the cutting depth can be
set even more exactly (± 0.1 mm).

Cutting angle

The sawing unit can be swivelled between 0° and
45°:
8.1
8.2
- Loosen rotary knobs (8.1, 8.3),
- Swivel sawing unit to the desired cutting an-
gle (8.2),
- 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.

Dust extraction

Particularly for work in closed areas, we recom-
mend that you connect your circular saw to a chip
extractor. This will enable you to reduce the dust
load in the air, ensuring that your workplace is
clean and improving the quality of your work.
