Extra Information
- This is the Basic version and no battery or charger is listed in the Festool scope of delivery.
- The PSBC 420 EB-Basic is the D-handle version in the Festool CARVEX cordless jigsaw range.
- The machine works especially well with compatible Festool Li-HighPower compact battery packs for a lighter cordless setup.
- The supplied blade set includes one WOOD FINE CUT blade and one WOOD UNIVERSAL blade for common wood cutting applications.
- For best results, match the jigsaw blade to the material and required cut quality.
- Use suitable dust extraction where possible to keep the cut line clearer and reduce dust in the work area.
Pro Tips
- Use a fine-tooth blade and the splinterguard when the visible cut edge must be clean.
- Use a lower pendulum setting for cleaner cuts and a higher pendulum setting for faster cutting progress.
- Let the blade do the cutting; forcing the jigsaw can cause blade deflection and a rougher cut.
- For tight curves, reduce feed speed and guide the saw smoothly without twisting the blade.
- Use dust extraction and the stroboscopic light together for better visibility of the cut line.
How to Use
- Select the correct jigsaw blade for the material and cut quality required.
- Fit the blade securely using the FastFix blade change system.
- Fit the splinterguard when a cleaner top and bottom cut edge is required.
- Insert a compatible Festool 18 V battery pack.
- Set the stroke rate and pendulum action according to the material and application.
- Connect suitable dust extraction if required.
- Place the base flat on the workpiece before starting the cut.
- Start the jigsaw and allow it to reach the selected speed before feeding into the cut.
- Guide the saw steadily along the marked line without forcing the blade.
- Switch off and allow the blade to stop completely before lifting the saw from the workpiece.
Features
- Variable stroke rate: 1 000 - 3 800 min⁻¹ allows the cutting speed to be matched to the material.
- 4-stage pendulum action: Allows the user to choose between cleaner cuts and faster cutting progress.
- 26 mm stroke length: Provides powerful cutting action for efficient progress through different materials.
- MMC electronics: Provides adjustable and constant speed with temperature monitoring.
- Electronic switch-on/off: Switches are reachable in different grip positions for comfortable operation.
- CLEANTEC connection: Integrated bayonet fitting allows connection to suitable Festool dust extraction.
- Tool-free table, baseplate and blade changes: Makes it faster to adapt the saw to different cutting applications.
- Systainer³ storage: Supplied in a SYS3 M 187 for organised storage and transport.
Benefits
- More precise cutting: The triple blade guidance helps reduce blade wander for cleaner and more accurate results.
- Better mobility: Cordless operation makes the saw ideal for installation work, site tasks and cutting away from plug points.
- Comfortable handling: The D-handle grip gives familiar control for users who prefer a bow-handle jigsaw.
- Cleaner finish: The splinterguard helps reduce tear-out when cutting wood and board materials.
- Faster setup: FastFix blade changes and tool-free table changes help reduce downtime between tasks.

Safety
- Wear eye, ear and dust protection when cutting wood, board materials, plastics or metals.
- Always read and follow the manufacturer’s operating and safety instructions before use.
- Use the correct jigsaw blade for the material being cut.
- Check that the blade is correctly fitted and secure before switching on the machine.
- Keep hands away from the blade and cutting path at all times.
- Secure the workpiece properly before cutting.
- Allow the blade to stop completely before lifting the saw from the workpiece.
- Remove the battery before changing blades, changing accessories, cleaning or carrying out maintenance.
- Use dust extraction where possible, especially when cutting dusty sheet materials or coated boards.
