WARNING
Cracked saw blades or sawblades with changed
shape
Risk of injury
Check regularly whether the saw blade is in
good condition and changed immediately, 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 kickback.
• Use only saw blades that have an outside diame-
ter of 160 mm.
• The bore diameter of the saw blade holder
should be 20 mm.
• Use only saw blades with a fundamental thick-
ness of max. 1.8 mm and a cutting width of 2.2 to
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.
