Tool settings
Always disconnect the plug from the power supply
before making any adjustments to the circular saw or installing
or removing any accessory!
Electronic control
The TS 55 EQ has solid shaft electronics with the following
functions:
Smooth start-up:
The smooth start-up ensures the machine starts up jolt-free.
Speed regulation:
The speed controller (3.1) provides infi nitely variable setting
between 2 000 and 5 200 rpm of the speed of the saw blade.
This enables you to optimise the cutting speed to suit the
material.
Constant speed:
The pre-selected speed remains constant whether the machine
is in operation or in no load.
Temperature cut-out
To prevent overheating, the safety electronics switches the
machine off when it reaches a critical motor temperature.
Let the machine cool down for approx. 3-5 minutes before
using it again. The machine requires less time to cool down if
it is running with no load.
Current limiting
Current limiting prevents permissibly high current consumption
under extreme overload. This can lead to a decrease in the
motor speed. The motor immediately restarts after the load
is removed.
Riving knife
The TS 55 EQ is fi tted with a riving knife (4.1)
as standard. All saw work should, for safety reasons, only be
carried out with the riving knife installed and correctly set!
The riving knife must be set so that
- the distance between riving knife and cutting circle (4.2) of
the saw blade is 2 to 4 mm (measurement x), and
- the saw blade is set 2 to 4 mm above the riving knife (measu-
rement y).
Setting the riving knife:
- Move lever (5.3) as far as it will go,
- push switch lock (5.4) up and push sawing unit down until it
locks into place,
- loosen screw (5.1) with Allen key (5.2),
- set spacer wedge as shown in picture 4,
- tighten screw (5.1),
- put lever (5.3) back.
