8.5 Saw blade
WARNING
Risk of injury
► Check regularly whether the saw blade is
in good condition. Saw blades which are
cracked or have changed shape should no
longer be used, but changed immediately!
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 8-1/4" (210 mm).
– The bore diameter of the saw blade holder
should be 1-3/16" (30 mm).
– Use only saw blades with a fundamental
thickness of max. 5/64" (1.8 mm) and a cut
ting width of 3/32" to 7/64" (2.4 - 2.6 mm).
The TS 75 EQ was tested with Festool saw
blades listed in the Festool catalogue. For your
own safety, we recommend that you use only
those saw blades.
To change the saw blade, place the circular saw
on the saw bench so that the saw blade pro
trudes a few millimetres beyond the edge of the
bench.
Remember that saw blades are made for saw
ing and the cutting edges are correspondingly
sharp. So handle the saw blade with care.
Changing the saw blade
► Move lever [6.2] as far as it will go,
► push switch lock [6.1]up and push sawing
unit down until it locks into place,
► loosen screw [6.4] with Allen key [6.3],
► remove saw blade,
► clean the flanges [6.6], [11.3],
► insert new saw blade.
The
direction of rotation of the saw blade [6.7]
and the machine [6.5] must be the same.
► Insert outer flange [11.3] such that the
locking pins engage into the notches on the
inner flange [6.6],
