Saw blade

Check regularly whether the saw blade
is in good condition. Saw blades which are cracked
or have changed shape should no longer be used,
but changed immediately!
When selecting the saw blades it is essential that
the following points are observed:
• Do not use saw blades made of high alloy high
speed steel (HSS circular saws), as otherwise
there is a great danger of kickback.
• Use only saw blades that have an outside diameter
of 210 mm.
• The bore diameter of the saw blade holder should
be 30 mm.
• Use only saw blades with a fundamental thickness
of max. 1.8 mm and a cutting width of 2.4 to 2.6 mm.
The TS 75 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.
Changing the saw blade
- Move lever (6.2) as far as it will go,
- push switch lock (6.1) up and push sawing unit
5.4
down until it locks into place,
- loosen screw (6.4) with Allen key (6.3),
5.3
- remove saw blade,
- clean the fl anges (6.6, 6.8),
- insert new saw blade.
of rotation of the saw blade (6.7) and the machine
(6.5) must be the same.
5.2
- Insert outer fl ange (6.8) such that the locking
pins engage into the notches on the inner fl ange
(6.6),

The cutting depth can be set at 0 – 75 mm:
- Press the cutting depth stop (7.3) and move it to
the desired cutting depth (the values specifi 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).
