Hello there,
New owner of a TS55 here!
Generally tickled with the saw, very impressed with the cut quality and dust collection.
A little less impressed with it's tendency to cut out - just for a second or two, occasionally - in the middle of a cut.
At first I thought it was something I was doing, as the first couple times it was when I was running the saw with my off hand, and I figured maybe I didn't have a good grip on the trigger. Later, it kept happening, even when using my strong-side hand, and the trigger was very much all the way down. It just cuts out - as if the trigger had been released - and then speeds right back up a second or two later, like nothing happened.
I've seen a few places where something similar was attributed (possibly) to not having the cord plugged all the way in... I checked and re-checked, but it seems in and locked.
I *have* been having some issues with static discharge on the vacuum hose - turns out the 16' Bosch hose I got this summer is *not* the anti-static version :-\ and I've been getting zapped pretty regularly on my fingers/knuckles on the saw. Not sure if this is at all related, as I haven't observed any direct correlation between static discharge and the saw cutting out.
Any ideas or suggestions?
