8.4 Saw blade
WARNING
Cracked saw blades or sawblades with
changed shape
Risk of injury
► Check regularly whether the saw blade is
in good condition and changed immediate
ly, if this is not the case.
When selecting the saw blades it is essential
that the following points are observed:
– Do not use saw blades made of high alloy
high speed steel (HSS circular saws), as
otherwise there is a great danger of kick
back.
– Use only saw blades that have an outside
diameter of 6-1/4" (160 mm).
– The bore diameter of the saw blade holder
should be 25/32" (20 mm).
– Use only saw blades with a fundamental
thickness of max. 1/16" (1.8 mm) and a cut
ting width of 3/32" (2.2 mm) to 1/8" (3.0
mm).
The TS 55 REQ was tested with Festool saw
blades listed in the Festool catalogue. For your
own safety, we recommend that you use only
those saw blades.
