Connecting the Plug-it Cord

The TS55 saw comes equipped with a removable Plug-It power cord. To install the power cord, insert the cord into the inlet on the tool with the key and keyway aligned, and twist the locking ring. Reverse the procedure to remove the cord.

NOTICE: Make sure to fully tighten the plug-it cord a full quarter-turn until it clicks. If the plug is not fully locked, the socket and cord can overheat and be damaged.

Turning on the Saw

To prevent unexpected start-ups, the power switch has an integral safety interlock. Before the saw can be started or plunged, the plunge release must be engaged.

To start the saw, push up on the plunge release, and pull back on the trigger. Once the trigger has been engaged, you no longer need to hold the plunge release raised.

A Note About Motor Sound

Most circular saws do not have variable speed electronic controls like the TS55 has. For this reason, many new saw owners aren’t accustomed to the slight “growling” sound of the motor’s gears when they first operate the saw. This sound is normal and not an indication that something is wrong with the tool.

The sound is the result of the gears interacting with the electronic speed control. The electronic controller in the motor controls the motor speed by turning it On and Off very rapidly. This form of speed control is called “Pulse Width Modulation” (PWM), and is common in most power tools with a variable speed control. When there is little or no load on the sawblade, the pulsations of the motor cause the gears to rapidly engage and disengage (called lash), and this is the sound you are hearing.
