Festool TS 55 EQ - Manual (Page 12)

Accessories that help you work faster, easier, smarter
Parallel guide
For guided cuts that run parallel to the edge of the board. This sturdy, and well
designed attachment is a must have accessory. Use it to quickly trim the edges of
boards to the right width.
Splinter guard
These disposable splinter guards, when used with a guiderail, create a zero clearance
base for the TS saws. By supporting the fibers on both sides of the blade, you can get
splinter‐free cuts in the most difficult materials. Keep a splinter guard for each saw
blade to ensure a perfect match with the blade’s kerf.
Limit Stop
This well designed stop, helps reduce the risk of kickbacks by securing the back plate
of the TS saw when making a plunge cut on a guide rail. When used in pairs, these
limit stops can be used to mark the beginning and end of any cut made with guide rail.
Plug‐It cord
These replaceable power cords can be used with most Festool portable tools. If you work in an
environment where the power cord is at risk of being damaged, keeping a spare on hand can prevent a
trip to the shop. Easy to use, and no wiring or soldering is required when replacing the original cord.
Guide rails
Guide rails are the heart of the TS cutting system. Perfectly straight cuts are easy
with these engineering marvels. Festool offers the widest selection of guide rails
with nine sizes, and two special rails for use with the Festool Router Pin Hole Kit.
Multiple guide rails can be connected to make longer rails quickly and easily.
Guide rail accessory kit
This kit includes everything to make using your TS saw and guide rail more productive. The angle unit
makes cutting perfect angles easy, and the deflector prevents the cord or dust extractor hose from
catching on the end of the guide rail. Connectors allow you to join 2 guide rails together to make a
longer rail. The kit comes packed in an award winning systainer 1, with the following items:
• Angle Unit
• Limit Stop & Splinter guard
• Deflector
• 2 connectors & steel clamps
