  Makes your cross-cuts mobile.

  Connect, setup and cut cleanly. Just attach the cross-cutting guide rail firmly to the circular saw and take it along to the material or up on the roof.

The return function lets you whip out quick and consistent cross-cuts.

  Safety built just for you.

  Because we care about your safety, we’ve added a bunch of features to the HKC 55 K: The cool KickbackStop cuts down the risk of injuring your hands when kickbacks happen. The built-in guide wedge stops the saw blade from getting stuck. Plus, the pendulum hood remote control lets you open the pendulum guard easily and safely. That way, safety really becomes a handy boost for your work.

  Greater power and endurance

  The HKC55 K’s got a brushless EC-TEC motor that spins at 5,200 rpm. When teamed up with the power electronics and the 8.0 Ah battery pack, it delivers top-notch cutting performance and long battery life.

  Mobile mitre saw system

  You can easily hook up the HKC 55 K to the supplied cross-cutting guide rail FSK, making it perfect for precise, angled cross-cuts. You’ve got the right cutting length for every need: 250 mm, 420 mm, or 670 mm.

  More safety thanks to KickbackStop

  The built-in KickbackStop cuts down the risk of injury from kickback when you’re sawing. It keeps not just your workpiece safe, but your hands too.

  Pendulum hood remote control

  For a clear view of the saw blade and easy sawing, you can open the pendulum guard with a lever. That way, your hands always stay at a safe distance from the saw blade.

  Guide wedge for a high level of safety

  The guide wedge enables unobstructed, stress-free and therefore safe sawing. As it is integrated into the spring-mounted pendulum hood, it is also possible to carry out plunge cuts in a safe and unobstructed way.

  1.6 mm thin circular saw blades

  Specifically designed for cordless saws: For light cutting pressure, quick work and longer battery life. You can swap out the saw blade easily and fast with the FastFix spindle stop.

  Depth setting with plunge feature

  Simply push the lever and set the desired cutting depth using the scale. Unlock the plunge position and use the spring-supported plunge-cut function to safely and conveniently plunge into the preset depth.

  Scribe mark = cut

  Getting it just right, even for mitre cuts up to 50°. When you’re using the HKC 55 K alongside the guide or cross-cutting guide rail, the scribe line is always the same as the cutting edge, even when you’re making mitre cuts.

  Viewing window and gauge marker

  The open construction and the viewing window on the inside provide a good view of the scribe mark and saw blade. The continuous gauge marker also increases precision.

  Precision guidance

  The HKC 55 demonstrates its versatility when combined with the Festool guide rail system, too. For example, insulation boards can be cut to size quickly and accurately using the FS 1400/2.

  Stay connected
