Service And Maintenance - Festool TSC 55 REB Operating Manual

TSC 55 REB
GB
– Always push the machine forwards [12-2], never
draw the machine towards yourself.
– Adapt the fast-feed speed to prevent the cutters
on the saw blade from overheating and prevent
plastic materials from melting during cutting.
– Make sure that all rotary knobs [1-2] are tight-
ened before starting work.
– Check that the saw blade is seated securely.
– Static charge may occur when sawing (e.g. MDF).
For work that generates dust, wear a dust
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
plunging mechanism. The saw unit can then
be moved downwards. This causes the saw
blade to emerge from the protective cover.

switches off in the following operating states:
Battery flat or machine overloaded:

8.3 Sawing along the scribe mark
The cutting indicator [10-2] displays the cutting
line for 0° and 45° cuts (without guide rail).
8.4 Cutting sections
Place the machine with the front part of the saw ta-
ble on the workpiece, switch the machine on, press
it down to the preset cutting depth and push it for-
ward in the cutting direction.
8.5 Sawing cut outs (plunge cuts)
In order to avoid kickbacks, the following in-
structions must be observed without fail
when plunge cutting:
– Always place the machine with the rear edge of
the saw table against a fixed stop.
– When working with the guide rail, place the ma-
chine against the kickback stop FS-RSP (acces-
sory) [12-4] clamped to the guide rail.

Push down the machine slowly to the preset

and the absolute rear cutting points of the saw
blade (dia. 160 mm) when using the saw at maxi-
mum cutting depth with the guide rail.
8.6 Gypsum and cement-bound fibreboards
Due to the high volume of dust, it is recommended
to use the cover ABSA-TS55 (accessories) which
can be mounted at the side at the protective cover
and a Festool mobile dust extractor.
