Recall On 55REQ...

[peter halle]

Please Note:

The intent of this forum has always been to encourage education, discussion and sharing of knowledge particularly about Festool products.  Along those lines feel free in this thread to talk about what might be the problem at hand with the TS-55R here, etc, but in keeping with the forum guidelines developed and posted long, long ago, descriptions or imagery about modification of Festool products may be removed without prior notice.

This is not about censorship.  This is about safety and a product intimately performing safety wise as the manufacturer initially intended.

Hi everyone. First time poster. I too had just sold my ATF for the REQ only to see this thread shortly after delivery. I too contacted Festool, considered the three options, and ultimately out of an abundance of caution returned the saw to my selling dealer for prompt refund. (inside 30 days) Will use my 75 model for time being.

I really appreciate the recent comments about safety and education to the FOG community and agree wholeheartedly.  At end of day I am grateful Festool is trying get ahead of this thing.

Cheers,
