What to do if my Festool TS 55 REQ motor does not start?
- K
  Katrina JacksonJul 26, 2025
  If the Festool Saw motor doesn't start, begin by ensuring the cord is properly plugged into the outlet and that the Plug-it connector is fully tightened. Verify the outlet has power by checking the circuit breaker or trying another outlet. If you're using a Festool dust extractor, confirm the selector switch is set to 'Auto.' Inspect the power cord for any damage. If none of these steps work, the motor brushes may be worn and require replacement.

  If your Festool Saw cuts are burning, ensure you are using the correct and sharp blade for the material. Verify that the blade is installed correctly, not turning backward. Try reducing the motor speed and, if possible, increase the blade depth. You might also need to increase your feed speed.

How to prevent wavy cuts with my Festool Saw?

  If your Festool Saw makes wavy cuts, check that the guide rail gib cams are properly adjusted and inspect the blade for damage. Ensure the sole plate isn't rocking on the guide rail. Maintain a consistent blade depth during the cut, avoiding raising and lowering it. Also, avoid forcing an ATB-type blade into the cut too quickly, as this can cause deflection.

What to do if there is excessive chipping on the lower edge of the cut with my Festool Saw?

  If you notice excessive chipping on the lower edge of your Festool Saw cut, first, ensure you're using the correct blade for the material and cut type. A shallow blade depth can also cause this issue if the teeth barely protrude below the surface, so increase the blade depth. The blade toe-in may be incorrect.

How to reduce chipping on the top edge when using my Festool TS 55 REQ?

  Anthony GouldAug 15, 2025
  If you're experiencing excessive chipping on the top edge of cuts with your Festool Saw, start by ensuring you are using the correct blade for the material and type of cut. Inspect the splinter guard to make sure it is flush with the cut line along its entire length. Also, be aware that materials prone to splintering may do so more if the blade is set too deep.
