How to use the continuous run lock function on the TS 55 Q?

Question

Accepted Answer

The Festool TS 55 Q does not have a continuous run lock function. Unlike some professional models, this plunge saw cannot operate without holding the trigger down. The starting system works on the principle of 'press to run, release to stop'.

To use the machine, proceed as follows:

Push the start lock [1-9] located on the handle upwards to unlock the system
Press and hold the main switch [1-8] to turn the machine on
Immediately release the switch to stop the machine - this is the only operating mode available

This safety system is intentional: it ensures that the machine stops as soon as you release your grip. This allows you to maintain full control at all times and react instantly in case of blade blockage.

For long cuts, always use the Festool guide rail, which allows for precise straight cuts without the need for a continuous run function. The rail offers better accuracy and safety than freehand cutting.
