WARNING
Risk of injury, electric shock
XAlways pull the mains plug out of the socket
before performing any type of work on the
machine! .
7.1 Electronics
The machine (TS 55 REBQ/ TS 55 REQ) features
full-wave electronics with the following properties:
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up
ensures that the machine starts up jolt-free.
Constant speed
The motor speed remains constant through
electronic control to ensure a uniform cutting
speed even when under load.
Speed control
You can regulate the speed steplessly within the
speed range using the adjusting wheel [1-10] (see
Technical data). This enables you to optimise the
cutting speed to suit the surface (see table1).
Temperature cut-out
The machine power supply is limited and the
speed reduced if the motor exceeds a certain
temperature. The machine continues operating
at reduced power to allow the ventilator to cool
the motor quickly. If the machine temperature
exceeds the maximum permitted value for longer
periods, the machine switches off completely after
approx. 40seconds and can only be switched on
again once the motor has cooled sufficiently.
Current limiting
Current limiting prevents excessive current con-
sumption under extreme overload, which can
lead to a decrease in the motor speed. The motor
immediately restarts after the load is removed.
Brake
The TS 55 REBQ is fitted with an electronic brake.
When the saw is switched off, the saw blade slows
to a stop electronically within approx. 2seconds.
7.2 Adjusting the cutting depth
The cutting depth can be adjusted to between
0–55mm on the cutting depth stop [3-1]:
The sawing unit can now be pressed down to the
set cutting depth.
Cutting depth without guide rails
max. 55 mm
+FS
Cutting depth with guide rail FS
max. 51 mm
7.3 Adjusting the cutting angle
between 0° and 45°:
XUnscrew the rotary knobs [4-1].
XSwivel the sawing unit to the desired cutting
angle [4-2].
XTighten the rotary knobs [4-1].
Both positions (0° and 45°) are set at
the factory and can be readjusted by the
after-sales service team.
When making angled cuts, slide the
viewing window/splinterguard to the
highest position!
to undercut -1° and 47°:
XSwivel the saw unit to the end position (0°/45°)
as described above.
XPull out the release button [4-3] slightly.
XPull release button [4-4] as well for -1°
undercuts.
The saw unit engages in the -1°/47° position.
XTighten the rotary knobs [4-1].
7.4 Changing the saw blade
CAUTION
Hot and sharp tools
Risk of injury
XDo not use insert tools that are blunt or
defective.
XWear protective gloves.
XBefore changing the saw blade, set the machine
to the 0° position and select the maximum cut-
ting depth.
XFold over the lever [5-2] to its end position.
XPush up the switch-on lock [5-1] and push down
the saw unit until it engages.
