CAUTION
Heating of the Plug it connection if bayonet
fitting is not completely locked
Risk of burns
► Before switching on the power tool, make
sure that the bayonet fitting at the mains
cable is closed fully and locked.
Always switch off the machine before
connecting and disconnecting the mains
power cable.
Connecting and detaching the mains power ca
ble [1-11] see figure 2.
Slide the safety lock [1-6] upwards and
press the on/off switch [1-7] (press =
ON/release = OFF).
Pressing the safety lock unlocks the plunging
mechanism. The saw unit can then be moved
downwards. This causes the saw blade to
emerge from the guard.

Extension Cord
If an extension cord is required, it must have a
sufficient cross-section to prevent an excessive
drop in voltage or overheating. An excessive
drop in voltage reduces the output and can lead
to failure of the motor. The table below shows
you the correct cord diameter as a function of
the cord length for this tool.

Use only NRTL listed extension cords.
Never use two extension cords together. In
stead, use one long one.
The lower the AWG number, the stronger
the cord.

Electronics
The machines TS 55 FEQ come with full-wave
electronics with the following properties:
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up
function ensures that the power tool starts up
smoothly.
Constant speed
The motor speed is electronically kept con
stant. This ensures a uniform cutting speed
even when under load.
Speed control
You can continuously adjust the speed within
the speed range using the adjusting
wheel [1-10] (see "Technical data"). This ena
bles you to optimise the cutting speed to suit
each surface.
Speed range per material
Solid wood (hard, soft)
Chipboard and hardboard
Laminated wood, blockboard, veneered
and laminated panels
