how to adjust ts 75 bevel pointer?

[jallen03]

Hello all,

I have a question.  I bought my first festool a little while ago, a TS 75, and finally had the chance to dial the saw in (not that it was really out, only about .5deg).  What I can't seem to get to now is the Torx screw to adjust the bevel pointer to show 0.  The hole is too narrow to get any driver into (Torx or flathead), and I was wondering if I had to drill it out or if other people had seen and figured a workaround out for this issue.

Thanks in advance!

I don't have a TS 75. But on my TS 55, I can access that screw with no trouble using a T15 driver, like one of these. The actual saw angle needs to be at zero for the access hole to be over the screw head.

HTH.

Like Ed suggested, you need a Torx T15. I think a 2.5mm allen key will also work in a pinch.

Thats what I had thought, but my Craftsman T15 driver won't fit in the hole deep enough to engage the screw.  Is there a thinner-shafted T15 driver you recommend, or should i just enlarge the access hole?

I have the Wera Torx driver that I linked to earlier. I also have this Craftsman Pro driver. The shaft on the Craftsman is a little thicker than the Wera, but it still fits just fine.

Don't maime a precious Festool. Get another driver.
