Service And Maintenance - Festool TS 75 EBQ Original Instructions Manual

English
– Always secure the workpiece in such a way
that it cannot move during machining.
– Position the workpiece so that it is stress-
free and level.
During work
– When working, always hold the power tool
with both hands on the handles [1-1, 1-6].
This is a prerequisite for precise work and
is essential for plunge-cutting. Plunge into
the workpiece slowly and evenly.
– Only guide the power tool towards the
workpiece when it is switched on.
Always push the saw forwards [1-2], and
–
never towards yourself.
– Adapt the infeed speed to prevent the cut­
ters on the saw blade from overheating and
prevent plastic materials from melting dur­
ing cutting. The harder the material to be
sawn, the lower the feed speed needs to be.
– Do not work with the machine if the elec­
tronics are defective, because this may lead
to excessive speeds. You can tell if the
electronics are defective if there is no
smooth start-up or if it is not possible to
regulate the speed or where smoke is
present or if there is a smell of burning
coming from the machine.
7.1 Sawing along the scribe mark
The gauge marker [6-3] displays the cutting
line for 0° and 45° cuts (without a guide rail).
7.2 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.
7.3 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 kickback stop [7-1],
which is clamped to the guide rail (see
Fig. [7]; when not in use, the kickback stop
can be stored by the guide plate [7-2] of the
machine).
– Always hold the machine securely using
both hands and plunge slowly.
Procedure
Position the machine on the workpiece and
place it against a stop (kickback stop), switch on
22
the machine, slowly push it down to the set cut­
ting depth and push it in the cutting direction.
The marks [6-2] indicate the absolute front and
rear cutting points of the saw blade (210 mm di­
ameter) when using the saw at maximum cut­
ting depth with the guide rail.

Observe the following instructions:
► Damaged safety devices and parts, such as
a faulty lever for changing tools [1-8], must
be properly repaired or replaced in a recog­
nised specialist workshop, unless otherwise
indicated in the operating manual.
► Check the condition and fault-free function­
ing of the recuperating springs, which push
the entire drive mechanism bearing into the
upper protected end positions.
► To ensure constant air circulation, always
keep the cooling air openings in the housing
clean and free of blockages.
► Use an extractor on all openings in order to
remove wood chips and splinters from the
power tool. Never open the protective
lid [4-7].
► When working with plaster- and cement-
bonded fibreboards, clean the tool particu­
larly thoroughly. Clean the vents of the
power tool and on/off switch using dry, oil-
free compressed air. Otherwise, gypsum
dust deposits may build up inside the power
tool's housing and on the on/off switch and
