Festool PI561438 Cutting depth, Cutting angle, Dust extraction, Changing the saw blade

The TS 75 EQ was tested with Festool saw blades listed in the Festool catalogue. For your own safety, 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.

6.8

-Move lever (6.2) as far as it will go,

-push switch lock (6.1) up and push sawing unit down until it locks into place,

-loosen screw (6.4) with Allen key (6.3),

-remove saw blade,

-clean the flanges (6.6, 6.8),

-insert new saw blade. The direction of rotation of the saw blade (6.7) and the machine (6.5) must be the same.

-Insert outer flange (6.8) such that the locking pins engage into the notches on the inner flange (6.6),

-tighten screw (6.4),

-put lever (6.2) back.

Cutting depth

The cutting depth can be set at 0 – 75 mm:

7.1

7.2

7.3

-Press the cutting depth stop (7.3) and move it to the desired cutting depth (the values specified 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).

Cutting angle

The sawing unit can be swivelled between 0° and

45°:

8.3

8.1

8.2

-Loosen rotary knobs (8.1, 8.3),

-Swivel sawing unit to the desired cutting angle (8.2),

-Retighten rotary knobs.

Note: both end positions (0° and 45°) are set at the factory and can be readjusted by the after- sales service team.

Dust extraction

Particularly for work in closed areas, we recommend that you connect your circular saw to a chip extractor. This will enable you to reduce the dust load in the air, ensuring that your workplace is clean and improving the quality of your work.
