like materials and plastics. With the special saw
blades for aluminium offered by Festool, these ma-
chines can also be used for sawing aluminium.
The machine should not be converted or modi-
fi ed, e.g. for any other form of use, other than as
specifi ed in these operating instructions.
The user shall be liable for damages
and accidents resulting from incorrect use.

Electrical connection

The network voltage must conform to the voltage
indicated on the rating plate. A 16 A safety fuse
(for 120 V) or a corresponding protective circuit-
breaker is required.
See the following fi gure for connection and dis-
connection of the power cord.
Always switch the tool off before con-
necting or disconnecting the power cord!

Extension cable
If an extension cable is required, it must have a
suffi cient cross-section so as to prevent an exces-
sive 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 cord
length for the TS 55 EQ. Use only U.L. and CSA
listed extension cables. Never use two extension
cables together. Instead, use one long one.

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 55 EQ has solid shaft electronics with the
