Smooth start-up:
The smooth start-up ensures the machine starts
up jolt-free.
Speed regulation:
3.1
The speed controller (3.1) provides in 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 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:
5.1
5.4
5.3
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.
