saw virtually splinter-free on both sides in
combination with the guide rail. Your benefit:
no reworking and significantly less rejects.

So splinter-free.

Save time: the spring-supported
riving knife even makes light
work of plunge cuts because
it retracts into the housing
automatically when plunge­cutting.

So adaptable.

The adjustable extractor
connector gives you the necessary
freedom of movement to work.
Up to 30% higher suction power
significantly reduces dust when
sawing – and prevents damage
to your health.

the Softgrip is particularly
soft and non-slip.

So convenient.

With the TS 55, the scribe
line is always the cutting
edge. Even for mitre cuts.

can be inserted into the tool
and removed from it at any
time. Practical, eg if you
change tools or the cable
breaks.

conveniently and above all in combination with the guide rail.

Optimum coordination:
the guidance jaws allow you to
adjust the TS 55 to the guide rail
tightly, quickly and without tools.
This saves you time and prevents
unnecessary spoiled workpieces.

So precise.

Precise to the millimetre:
thanks to the notched depth
stop, you can set the saw
depth required exactly.

So exact.

The adjustable cutting
indicator can be used to
accurately set the cutting
angle between 0° and 45°
on the easy-to-read angle
scale.

So clear.

Pure stability: thanks to the
segments and the ribbing, the
magnesium die-cast plate is not
only torsionally rigid, but also
stable and sturdy. And all at a
significantly reduced weight.

So light.

By the way: a circular saw is definitely a worthwhile purchase. With
Festool circular saws not only is your work accurate and particularly
time-saving, you also get more out of your circular saw for longer
than you do from a conventional saw. Sawing complex light cut-outs
or apertures is no problem for circular saws. As long as they are
made by Festool, that is. Ask your partner dealer or visit us on the
Internet under www.festool.co.uk.

Fast Fix saw blade changing Riving knife

A riving knife is essential for safe working. It’s just annoying that
you normally have to attach/detach the riving knife before and
after the plunge cut. This wastes valuable time.

It’s different with the TS 55. The riving knife on the TS 55
retracts into the housing automatically when plunge-cutting.
The saw then moves forward and the knife slips into the saw
notch behind the saw blade. This means that you can enjoy
the benefits of the riving knife, even during plunge-cutting!

The riving knife on the TS 55:
maximum safety even for plunge cutting.

We all know the problem: if you
want to change the saw blade, you
normally have to go through an
awkward procedure.

It’s different with the TS 55.
The FastFix spindle stop ensures
quick and easy saw blade changing.
And also ensures that you saw with
the right saw blade and the right
speed setting for the material.

And this is how it works: open the
FastFix lever. Make a plunge-cut
until the you hear the saw latch into
place. You now have free access to
the Allan screw. You now have both
hands free and can replace the saw
blade easily. The result speaks for
itself: sawing with the right blade
means sawing better.

FastFix saw blade changing:
always the right saw blade.

So easy. So adaptable.
