Extension cable
If an extension cable is required, it must have a suf-
fi cient cross-section so as to prevent an excessive
drop in voltage or overheating. An excessive drop in
voltage reduces the output and can lead to failure
of the motor. The table below shows you the correct
cable diameter as a function of the cable length for
the TS 75 EQ. Use only U.L. and CSA listed extension
cables. Never use two extension cables together.
Instead, use one long one.
Total Extension Cord
Lenght (feet)
Cord size (AWG)
Note: The lower the AWG number, the stronger the
cable.

Tool settings

Always disconnect the plug from the
power supply before making any adjustments to
the circular saw or installing or removing any ac-
cessory!

Electronic control

The TS 75 EQ has solid shaft electronics with the
following functions:
Smooth start-up:
The smooth start-up ensures the machine starts
up jolt-free.
Speed regulation:
3.1
The speed controller (3.1) provides infi nitely vari-
able setting between 1350 and 3550 rpm of the
speed of the saw blade. This enables you to opti-
mize the cutting speed to suit the material.

Constant speed:
The pre-selected speed remains constant whether
the machine is in operation or in no load.
Temperature cut-out
To prevent overheating, the safety electronics
switches the machine off when it reaches a critical
motor temperature.
Let the machine cool down for approx. 3-5 minutes
before using it again. The machine requires less
time to cool down if it is running with no load.
Current limiting
Current limiting prevents permissibly high current
consumption under extreme overload. This can lead
to a decrease in the motor speed. The motor imme-
diately restarts after the load is removed.

Riving knife

The TS 75 EQ is fi tted with a riving knife
(4.1) as standard. All saw work should, for safety
reasons, only be carried out with the riving knife
installed and correctly set!
4.1 4.2
The riving knife must be set so that
- the distance between riving knife and cutting
circle (4.2) of the saw blade is 2 to 4 mm (mea-
surement x), and
- the saw blade is set 2 to 4 mm above the riving
knife (measurement y).
