Festool TSC 55 REB Original Instructions Manual page 23

– Adapt the infeed speed to prevent the cut­
ters on the saw blade from overheating and
prevent plastic materials from melting dur­
ing cutting.
Make sure that all rotary knobs [1-2] are
–
tightened before starting work.
– Check that the saw blade is securely in
place.
– Static charge may occur when sawing (e.g.
MDF).
When carrying out work that produces
dust, wear a breathing mask.
8.1 Switch on/off
Slide the switch-on lock [1-5] upwards
and press the on/off switch [1-6] (press =
ON / release = OFF).
Pressing the switch-on lock unlocks the plung­
ing mechanism. The saw unit can then be
moved downwards. This causes the saw blade
to emerge from the protective cover.
8.2 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
8.3 Sawing along the scribe mark
The gauge marker [8-2] displays the cutting
line for 0° and 45° cuts (without a guide rail).
8.7 Speed setting for each material
Material
Solid wood (hard, soft)
Chipboard and hardboard
Laminated wood, blockboard, veneered and laminated panels
Plastics, fibre-reinforced plastics (FRP), paper and mesh
Acrylic glass
Gypsum and cement-bonded fibreboard
Aluminium panels and profiles up to 15 mm
Battery flat or machine
overloaded:
8.4 Cutting sections
Position the machine with the front part of the
saw table on the workpiece, switch on the ma­
chine, push it down to the set cutting depth and
push it forward in the cutting direction.
8.5 Sawing cut-outs (plunge cuts)
In order to avoid kickbacks, the following
instructions must always be followed
when plunge cutting:
– Always position the machine with the rear
edge of the saw table against a fixed stop.
– When working with the guide rail, position
the machine at the FS-RSP kickback stop
(accessory) [10-4], which is clamped to the
guide rail.
Procedure
► Place the machine on the workpiece and
position it at a stop (kickback stop).
► Switch on the machine.
► Slowly push the machine down to the set
cutting depth and push it forward in the cut­
ting direction.
The marks [8-1]indicate the absolute front and
rear cutting points of the saw blade (160 mm di­
ameter) when using the saw at maximum cut­
ting depth with the guide rail.
8.6 Gypsum and cement-bound fibreboards
Due to the high volume of dust, it is recommen­
ded to use the cover ABSA-TS55 (accessories)
which can be mounted at the side at the protec­
tive cover and a Festool mobile dust extractor.
