Extra Information

This product is listed by Vermont Sales as FES576712 and corresponds to the Festool TSC 55 KEB-Basic cordless plunge-cut saw.
The current official Festool article number for this model is 578738.
This is the Basic version and is supplied without battery packs and charger.
The saw is supplied with a chip collection bag, but it can also be connected to a compatible Festool dust extractor.
For best results, use the correct Festool 160 mm saw blade for the material being cut.
Use with a Festool guide rail for accurate, straight and repeatable cutting.
The KickbackStop can be manually deactivated for specific cuts where required, and is automatically reactivated the next time the saw is switched on.

Pro Tips

Use two compatible 18 V battery packs when maximum power and cutting speed are required.
Use one battery pack only when reduced weight is more important than maximum power.
Always match the blade to the material. A sharp, correct blade is the difference between a clean cut and a bad day with splinters.
Use the guide rail and splinterguard when cutting laminated boards or visible panels to reduce tear-out.
Connect a dust extractor when cutting indoors or when working with MDF, chipboard or coated panels.
When making plunge cuts, start with full control and allow the saw to enter the material smoothly without forcing it.

How to Use

Select the correct 160 mm saw blade for the material being cut.
Remove the battery packs before fitting or changing the saw blade.
Use the FastFix system to fit the saw blade securely.
Insert one or two compatible Festool 18 V battery packs depending on the required power and working setup.
Set the cutting depth according to the workpiece thickness and whether a guide rail is being used.
Set the required cutting angle between -1° and 47° if bevel or undercut work is needed.
Place the guide rail on the marked line and clamp it where necessary.
Connect the chip collection bag or a suitable Festool dust extractor.
Set the speed according to the blade and material.
Place the saw on the guide rail, start the motor and guide the saw steadily through the cut.
Allow the blade to stop completely before lifting the saw away or setting it down.

Features

2 x 18 V battery system: Designed for maximum cordless power and extended range when used with two battery packs.
Flexible battery configuration: Can be used with one compatible 18 V battery pack for reduced weight or two battery packs for maximum power.
KickbackStop: Intelligent safety system helps stop the saw blade in the event of a kickback situation.
EC-TEC motor: Brushless motor technology delivers high output with efficient energy use.
MMC electronics: Multi Material Control electronics allow speed adjustment, temperature monitoring and material-specific cutting.
FastFix blade change: Makes saw blade changes quick, safer and easier with the spindle stop system.
Quick-acting brake: Helps improve safety by stopping the saw blade quickly after switching off.
Precise depth setting: Dual cutting depth scale supports accurate setup when working with or without a guide rail.
Transparent viewing window: Gives better visibility of the saw blade and cutting marks during plunge cuts.
Slimline housing: Allows cuts close to edges and near walls.

Benefits

More freedom on site: Cordless operation makes cutting easier where power points, extension leads or cables are inconvenient.

Cleaner cutting results: The Festool guide rail and splinterguard system helps reduce rework on visible panels and board material.
Powerful cordless performance: The EC-TEC motor and dual battery setup provide strong cutting power for demanding work.
Better dust control: Use the chip collection bag for mobile work or connect a dust extractor for cleaner cutting.
Material-specific cutting: Variable speed control allows the saw to be matched to the blade and material.
Professional system workflow: Works with Festool guide rails, saw blades, angle stops, splinterguards and extraction accessories.

Safety

Wear eye, ear and dust protection when cutting timber, board products, plastics, aluminium or coated materials.

Check that the saw blade is sharp, undamaged and securely fitted before use.
Do not bypass or ignore safety features such as the quick-acting brake and KickbackStop.
Clamp or secure the workpiece and guide rail where necessary before cutting.
Keep hands clear of the blade path and never reach underneath the workpiece while cutting.
Allow the blade to reach full speed before entering the material.
Do not force the saw through the cut; use a steady feed rate suitable for the blade and material.
Use dust extraction whenever possible, especially when cutting MDF, chipboard, coated panels or dusty materials.
Remove the battery packs before changing blades, adjusting the saw or carrying out maintenance.
Allow the saw blade to stop completely before lifting the saw from the cut or placing it down.
