Electronics
The TKS 80 EBS is monitored electronically
with the following properties:
Smooth start-up
The electronically controlled smooth start-up
function ensures that the power tool starts up
smoothly. The limited starting current ensures
that even standard household fuses are not
triggered.
Speed control
The speed can be continuously adjusted be
tween 1700 min
-1
and 3500 min
-1
using the ad
justing wheel
[2-7]
. This enables you to opti
mise the cutting speed to suit the respective
material.

The preselected motor speed is kept constant
through electronic control. This ensures a uni
form cutting speed even when under load.
Overload safety device
The power supply is restricted if the power tool
is overloaded to extremes. The power supply is
disconnected completely if the motor jams for
some time. You will need to remove the load
and/or switch off the power tool before you can
use it again.
Temperature cut-out
To avoid the motor overheating, the power con
sumption is limited at an excessive motor tem
perature (e.g. if the pressure is too high while
working). If the temperature continues to rise,
the power tool switches off. It can only be
switched on again once the motor has cooled
sufficiently.
Brake
The saw blade is stopped electronically within
approx. 3 seconds of switching off the machine.
Restart protection
The built-in restart protection prevents the
power tool from starting up again automatically
if the power is disconnected during continuous
use. To put the power tool back into operation,
it must first be switched off and then on again.
9.2
Selecting the saw blade
Festool saw blades are identified by a coloured
ring. The colour of the ring represents the ma
terial for which the saw blade is suited.

Setting the cutting height
To set the cutting height anywhere be
tween 0 mm–80 mm:
► Turn the cutting height setting
[5-5]
.
+ Increases the cutting height to 80 mm
- Decreases the cutting height to 0 mm
To ensure a precise saw cut, set the cut
ting height 2 mm–5 mm greater than the
workpiece thickness.
For concealed cuts, the cutting height is
set in accordance with the required depth
of the concealed cut.
9.4
Adjusting the mitre angle
The saw blade can be swivelled between 0° and
45°, and can be precisely adjusted by ±2° to -2°
and 47°.
► Press and hold the mitre angle setting
[5-3]
against the cutting height setting
[5-5]
.
