General safety rules
Read and understand all instruc-
tions. Failure to follow all instructions listed be-
low may result in electric shock, fi re and/or seri-
ous personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Clut-
tered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of fl ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodifi ed plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use re-
duces the risk of electric shock.
f) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
„live“ wire will make exposed metal parts of the
power tool „live“ and shock the operator.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the infl uence of drugs, al-
cohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before plugging
in. Carrying power tools with your fi nger on the
switch or plugging in power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and prop-
2
erly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust
related hazards.
4) Tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The cor-
rect power tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are dan-
gerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the
particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work
to be performed. Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed repair person using only identical re-
placement parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.
Specifi c Safety Rules
for Circular Saws
a) DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting
area and blade. Keep your second hand on
auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both
hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut
by the blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness
of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the
blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
d) NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands
or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to
a stable platform. It is important to support the
work properly to minimise body exposure, blade
binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring
or its own cord. Contact with a ”live” wire will
also make exposed metal parts of the tool ”live”
and shock the operator.
f) When ripping always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy
of cut and reduces the chance for blade binding.
g) Always use blades with correct size and
shape (diamond vs. round) arbour holes.
Blades that do not match the mounting hardware
of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of
control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade
washers or bolts. The blade washers and bolt
were specially designed for your saw, for optimum
performance and safety of operation.
i) Check guard for proper closing before each
use. Do not operate the saw if guard does not
move freely and enclose the blade instantly.
Never clamp or tie the guard with the blade
exposed. If saw is accidentally dropped, guard
may be bent. Check to make sure that guard
moves freely and does not touch the blade or any
other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
j) Check the operation and condition of the
guard return spring. If the guard and the
spring are not operation properly, they must
be serviced before use. Guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
k) Assure that the guide plate of the saw
will not shift while performing the "plunge
cut" when the blade bevel setting is not at
90°. Blade shifting sideways will cause binding
and likely kick back.
l) Always observe that the guard is covering
the blade before placing saw down on bench
or fl oor . An unprotected, coasting blade will
cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes
for the blade to stop after switch is released.
3
Causes and Operator Pre-
vention of Kickback
- Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece
toward the operator.
- When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by
the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the
motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator.
- If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in
the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade
can dig into the top surface of the wood causing
the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back
toward operator.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below:
a) Maintain a fi rm grip with both hands on
the saw and position your body and arm to
allow you to resist kickback forces. Position
your body to either side of the saw blade,
but not in line with the saw blade. Kickback
could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if
proper precautions are taken.
b) When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger
and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop.
Never attempt to remove the saw from the
work or pull the saw backward while the
blade is in motion or kickback may occur. In-
vestigate and take corrective actions to eliminate
the cause of blade binding.
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece,
center the saw blade in the kerf and check
that saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or
kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
d) Support large panels to minimize the risk
of blade pinching and kickback. Large panels
tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must
be placed under the panel on both sides, near the
line of cut and near the edge of the panel.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blade. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding
and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking
levers must be tight and secure before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting,
it may cause binding and kickback.
g) Use extra caution when making a ”Plunge
Cut” into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that can
cause kickback.
Riving Knife
a) Use the appropriate riving knife for the
blade being used. For the riving knife to work,
it must be thicker than the body of the blade but
thinner than the tooth set of the blade.
b) Adjust the riving knife as described in this
instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, position-
ing and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in preventing kickback.
c) Always use the riving knife, even when
plunge cutting. The riving knife is being pressed
upwards during plunge cutting and springs back
automatically into the kerf after plunge cutting
when you move the saw forward.
d) For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged in the workpiece. The riving knife is inef-
fective in preventing kickback during short cuts.
e) Do not operate the saw if riving knife is
bent. Even a light interference can slow the clos-
ing rate of a guard.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY,
USER MUST READ AND UNDERSTAND INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
Various dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known (to the
State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products,
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
The risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals work in a well ventilated
area and use approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to fi lter out micro-
scopic particles.

Extension cable
If an extension cable is required, it must have
a suffi cient cross-section so as 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 cable diameter as a function
of the cable length for the TS 75 EQ. Use only
U.L. and CSA listed extension cables. Never use
two extension cables together. Instead, use one
long one.

Electronic control
Use for intended purpose
The hand-operated circular saw TS 75 EQ is
designed exclusively for the sawing of wood,
The TS 75 EQ has solid shaft electronics with the
following functions:
5
Smooth start-up:
The smooth start-up ensures the machine starts
up jolt-free.
Speed regulation:
3.1
The speed controller (3.1) provides infi nitely
variable setting between 1350 and 3550 rpm of
the speed of the saw blade. This enables you to
optimize the cutting speed to suit the material.

Constant speed:
The pre-selected speed remains constant whether
the machine is in operation or in no load.
Temperature cut-out
To prevent overheating, the safety electronics
switches the machine off when it reaches a critical
motor temperature.
Let the machine cool down for approx. 3-5 minutes
before using it again. The machine requires less
time to cool down if it is running with no load.
Current limiting
Current limiting prevents permissibly high current
consumption under extreme overload. This can
lead to a decrease in the motor speed. The motor
immediately restarts after the load is removed.
Riving knife
The TS 75 EQ is fi tted with a riving
knife (4.1) as standard. All saw work should, for
safety reasons, only be carried out with the riving
knife installed and correctly set!
4.1 4.2
The riving knife must be set so that
- the distance between riving knife and cutting
circle (4.2) of the saw blade is 2 to 4 mm
(measurement x), and
- the saw blade is set 2 to 4 mm above the riving
knife (measurement y).
Setting the riving knife:
5.4
5.3
5.1
5.2
- Move lever (5.3) as far as it will go,
- push switch lock (5.4) up and push sawing unit
down until it locks into place,
- loosen screw (5.1) with Allen key (5.2),
- set spacer wedge as shown in picture 4,
- tighten screw (5.1),
- put lever (5.3) back.
Saw blade
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 kickback.
• Use only saw blades that have an outside
diameter of 210mm.
• The bore diameter of the saw blade holder should
be 30 mm.
• Use only saw blades with a fundamental
thickness of max. 1.8 mm and a cutting width
of 2.4 to 2.6 mm.
6
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 protrudes
a few millimetres beyond the edge of the bench.
Remember that saw blades are made for sawing
and the cutting edges are correspondingly sharp.
So handle the saw blade with care.
Changing the saw blade

- Press the cutting depth stop (7.3) and move it
to the desired cutting depth (the values specifi ed
on the scale (7.1) apply to 0° cuts without guide
rail),
- Release the cutting depth stop (the cutting depth
stop notches along in 1 mm-steps).
The sawing unit can now be pressed down to the
set cutting depth.
A grub screw (M 4 x 8 to M 4 x 12) can be screwed
into the hole (7.2) on the cutting depth stop. By
turning the grub screw, the cutting depth can be
set even more exactly (± 0.1 mm).
Cutting angle
The sawing unit can be swivelled between 0° and
45°:
6.7
6.8
- 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 fl anges (6.6, 6.8),
- 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 fl ange (6.8) such that the locking
pins engage into the notches on the inner fl ange
(6.6),
- tighten screw (6.4),
- put lever (6.2) back.
Cutting depth
The cutting depth can be set at 0 – 75 mm:
8.3
8.1
8.2
- Loosen rotary knobs (8.1, 8.3),
- Swivel sawing unit to the desired cutting angle
(8.2),
- Retighten rotary knobs.
Note: both end positions (0° and 45°) are set at
the factory and can be readjusted by the aftersales service team.
Dust extraction
Particularly for work in closed areas, we recommend
that you connect your circular saw to a chip
extractor. This will enable you to reduce the dust
load in the air, ensuring that your workplace is
clean and improving the quality of your work.
7
9.1
Switching the machine on and off
A Festool dust extractor with an extractor
hose diameter of 36 mm or 27 mm (36 mm
recommended due to the reduced risk of clogging)
can be connected to the rotating extractor
connector (9.1)
Mounting the splinterguard
10.1
10.2
The splinterguard (accessories) significantly
improves the quality of the cutting edge of the
sawn workpiece on the upper side for 0° cuts.
- Attach splinterguard (10.1) onto the protective
cover,
- Place machine onto the workpiece or the guide
rail,
- Press splinterguard down until it sits on the
workpiece and tighten it with the rotary knob
(10.2).
- Saw splinterguard in (machine to maximum
cutting depth and speed range 1).
11.1
11.4
11.3
11.2
Keep the machine steady during
switching and during use by holding the handle
(11.2) and the additional handle (11.1) with both
hands.
To switch on, fi rst push the cut-in and release
block (11.4) forwards, and then press the „On““Off“ switch (11.3). You can then press the
machines down for sawing, and release the cutin and release block.
To switch off, release the „On“-“Off“ switch.
After the machine has been switched
off, the saw blade will still rotate for a time.
Take care that parts of your body do not come
into contact with the saw blade while it is still
rotating!
As soon as you remove the machine from the
workpiece once sawing has been completed, the
machine automatically returns to its basic position
and the saw blade is again completely covered by
the protective covering.
Support of the workpieces
12.1
Use the splinterguard only for 0° cuts. Always remove the splinterguard for mitre
cuts. When making mitre cuts, the splinterguard
raises the portable circular saw from the workpiece, which can lead to serious injuries.
Operation
Read and understand the safety
instructions before starting work!
Ensure that your workpieces are securely fi xed
and cannot move during sawing. Otherwise,
there is an increased risk of accident. Never
hold the workpiece to be cut with your hands or
between your legs. Use instead screw clamps
(12.1) or some other suitable devices to fi x your
workpiece.
8
12.2
B) Plunge cuts:
In order to avoid kickbacks, the
following in structions absolutely must be observed
when plunge cutting:
Never position large or long workpieces so that
they bend in the middle or at the cutting face. This
can lead to the saw blade jamming and recoiling.
Instead, support the workpiece with several
wooden battens (12.2), particularly in the vicinity
of the cutting face.
Sawing
13.313.213.1
The machine must reach full speed
before cutting begins and should only be switched
off once cutting has fi nished.
Only operate the saw away from
you (pushing the circular saw forwards, 13.3)
and never towards you (pulling the circular saw
backwards). If you saw towards you, there is the
danger that the circular saw might be accelerated
out of the cutting groove (recoil) and cause serious
injury.
A) Sawing sections:
- Place the front part of the saw bench on the
workpiece. The cutting indicator (13.2) displays
the cutting line for 0° and 45° cuts (without
guide rail).
- Switch the machine on, and press the saw down
to the set cutting depth.
- Push the machine in the direction of cut. Take
care that the saw bench remains fi rmly on the
workpiece.
- Switch the machine off when cutting is
completed.
14.1 14.2
- The machine must always be placed with the rear
edge of the saw table against a fi xed stop.
When working with the guide rail, the tool must
be placed at the kickback stop (14.2), which is
fi rmly clamped on the guard rail. When not in
use, the kickback stop can be kept in safe keeping
at the guide plate (14.1) of the machine.
- The machine must always be held securely with
both hands and only plunged slowly.
Procedure: place the machine onto the workpiece
and position it against a stop (kickback stop),
switch the machine on, slowly press it down onto
the set cutting depth and push it forward in the
cutting direction.
The markings (13.1) display the absolute front
and the absolute rear cutting points of the saw
blade (dia. 160 mm) at maximum cutting depth
and using the guide rail.
C) Sawing aluminium
When sawing aluminium, the following
measures must be taken for safety reasons:
• Pre-connect a residual current circuit-breaker.
• Connect the machine to a suitable dust
extractor.
• Clean the machine regularly of dust deposits in
the motor housing and in the protective cover.
• Wear protective goggles.
• Aluminium must only be sawed with the special
saw blades from Festool designed for this
purpose.
• When sawing panels, they must be lubricated
with petroleum, thin-walled profi les (up to 3
mm) can be sawed without lubrication.
9
Systainer
Many Festool products are shipped in a unique
system container, called "Systainer". This
provides protection and storage for the tool and
accessories. The Systainers are stackable and
can be interlocked together. They also can be
interlocked atop Festool CT dust extractors.
15.3
15.2
15.1
- Place one systainer on top of the other.
- Release all four latches on the lower systainer
by pulling back at their top edges (15.1).
- Slide all four latches upward (15.2).
- Snap all four latches back to their fl at position
(15.3) so they engage the stacking tabs of the
upper systainer.
• This unit is fi tted with special, automatically
disconnecting carbon brushes. If these become
worn, the current is automatically switched off
and the unit shuts down. In this case, take the
unit to an authorised Customer Service Centre
and have the carbon brushes changed.
• After being removed away from the workpiece,
the machine automatically returns to its
basic position, the saw blade retracts into the
protective cover and the cut-in and release block
engages once again. If this no longer functions,
stop using the hand-operated circular saw and
have it repaired immediately by an authorised
Customer Service Centre.
• The riving knife must be aligned with the saw
blade, and should not be crooked. A faulty riving
knife must be replaced immediately. Under no
circumstances use the saw without the riving
knife because of the increased risk of recoil.
• Even with proper usage the teeth of the saw
blade become blunt in time. Change the saw
blade as soon as you notice that you need a
greater force to push the machine during sawing
or the quality of cut has deteriorated. Take blunt
saw blades back to an authorised Customer
Service Centre for re-sharpening. Take the saw
blades out when you want to clean them of resin
and wood. Use kerosene for cleaning the saw
blades.
Accessories
Servicing and maintenance
Any maintenance or repair work that
requires opening of the motor or gear housing
should only be carried out by an authorised
Customer Service Centre (name supplied by
your dealer) ! Maintenance or repair work carried
out by an unauthorised person can lead to the
wrong connection of the power leads or other
components, which in turn can lead to accidents
with serious consequences.
To prevent accidents, always remove
the plug from the power supply socket before
carrying out any maintenance or repair work on
the machine! Do not use compressed air to clean
the electrical tool! Do not try to clean parts inside
the machine in this way, as you could let foreign
objects in through the openings of the machine
housing.
Certain cleaning agents and solvents
are harmful to plastic parts. Some of these are:
gasoline, carbonyl chloride, cleaning solutions
containing chlorine, ammonia and household
cleaners containing ammonia.
• To assure the circulation of air, the cool air vents
in the motor housing must always be kept clear
and clean.
The order numbers for these and for other
accessories that allow you to use your Festool
portable circular saw effectively and in many ways,
can be found in the Festool catalogue or on the
Internet under www.festool-usa.com.
Parallel stop, table widener
A parallel stop can be used for section widths up
to 180 mm.
The parallel stop can also be used as a table
widener.
Side-mounted cover, false joints
The cover that can be mounted on the side of
the protective cover improves the effect of dust
extraction for 0° cuts.
Simultaneously, the cover can be used as a false
joint stop for false joint widths from 18 mm
onwards.
10
Multifunction table
16
The mutifunction table, which is available in two
sizes (MFT 800, MFT 1080), makes clamping the
workpiece easy and allows you to saw large and
small workpieces safely and precisely using the
guide system. Its many fi elds of application make
economical and ergonomically convenient work
possible.
The guide clearance of the saw table on the
guide rails can be set with the two setting jaws
(17.1).
The guide rails are equipped with a splinterguard
(17.3, 18.1), which prevents splintering of the
workpiece by holding the top edge of the workpiece
down as the teeth of the sawblade move upward
against it. The spliterguard has to be cut to size
before the fi rst use:
- Set the speed of the machine to level 6,
- Place the machine on the rear end of the guide
rail,
- Switch the machine on, press it down to the set
cutting depth and cut the splinterguard along

the cutting edge.
Guide system
The guide rails, which are available in different
lengths, allow for precise, clean cuts and
simultaneously protect the workpiece surface
against damage. In conjunction with the extensive
range of accessories, exact angled cuts, mitre
cuts and fi tting work can be completed with the
guide system.

The splinter guard needs to be replaced if it
becomes damaged or worn:
- Peel the original splinter guard (18.1) away from
the guide rail.
- As needed, clean residual adhesive and debris
from the guide rail.
- Peel off the plastic backing from the new splinter
guard to expose the adhesive.
- Without stretching the rubber, carefully place
the new splinter guard on the underside of the
guide rail tight to the alignment rib (18.2).
- Make sure the splinter guard is fi rmly pressed
down to the guide rail.
- Trim the splinter guard as described before.
Saw blades, other accessories
17.4
The option of securing using G-clamps (17.4)
ensures a fi rm hold and safe working. The optional
cord guide (17.2) prevents the power cord and
vacuum hose from catching on the end of the
guide rail.
In order to be able to saw different materials
quickly and cleanly, Festool offers saw blades that
are specially designed for your machine.
The order numbers for the saw blades and other
accessories can be found in the Festool catalogue
