TS 55 REQ new saw vibration

[DaveB]

I know there have been questions about this but I just want to be sure I understand what is "normal" for my new saw.  I am not so much concerned about any noise or "growl" as I am with the vibration I feel.  It kind of comes and goes almost like an oscillating pattern.  It is quite noticeable as I hold the saw and it's running at speed setting 6.  Is this what I should expect or should I exchange it for another one?
Thanks,
David

Hi David.  Welcome to the FOG!  If it were my saw I would go thru the process of removing the blade then reinstalling it to make sure that everything is seated properly then trying to make some cuts and see how the cuts come out.  I doubt that you are feeling anything more than the electronics pulsing the motor on and off, but making sure that the blade is properly installed and tightened wouldn't be bad practice anyway.
