Using Dust Extraction

The TS 55 can be used with or without a dust extraction system. The chip diverter swivels to direct the sawdust away from the work area when a dust extraction system is not used.

For best results, however, a dust extraction system (such as the Festool CT 22 shown below) should be used. Festool dust extractors have the added features of variable speed, and sensing when the saw is turned on. The vacuum will automatically start when the saw is turned on, and will remain running for a couple of seconds after the saw turns off to clear the remaining dust.

1.Insert the extractor hose into the chip diverter (36 mm inside diameter [1-7/16in.])

2.Plug the TS 55 power cord into the auxiliary outlet on the extractor (if so equipped).

3.Set the power switch on the extractor to “Auto.” (The auxiliary power outlet is active only when the switch is set to Auto.)
