Festool TS 55 FEBQ-Plus-FS Plunge-Cut Saw Precision Cutting Kit

At a Glance: Complete 1200W plunge-cut saw kit with a 1400mm guide rail, two FSZ 120 clamps and both fine-cut and universal wood saw blades.

The Festool FESTKIT 4 brings together the legendary precision of the TS 55 FEBQ-Plus-FS plunge-cut saw with the essential accessories required for accurate, controlled and professional cutting.

Important compatibility note: This TS 55 F model is not compatible with the CMS-TS 55 R module mounting system.

Pro Tips

Set the cutting depth only slightly deeper than the material to reduce exposed blade, improve extraction and support a cleaner cut.
Use the 42-tooth fine-cut blade for veneered panels and visible cross-cut edges, and the 28-tooth universal blade for faster general cutting.
Place the guide rail on the retained side of the workpiece so that the splinterguard protects the finished edge.
Use both FSZ 120 clamps when cutting narrow, smooth or valuable workpieces where rail movement could affect accuracy.
Before making a critical cut, perform a test cut in an offcut of the same material to confirm the blade, speed and depth settings.
Allow the saw to reach full selected speed before entering the workpiece, then maintain a smooth and consistent feed rate.
Keep the guide rail and the saw's guide channels clean to preserve smooth movement and cutting accuracy.
When changing blades, clean the arbor and flange surfaces before fitting the replacement blade to prevent run-out and uneven cutting.
Connect a suitable Festool dust extractor whenever possible, particularly when processing MDF, chipboard or plasterboard.

How to Use

Read the operating instructions and safety information completely before using the plunge-cut saw for the first time.
Inspect the saw, cable, guide rail, clamps and selected blade. Do not use damaged, excessively worn or incorrectly specified components.
Disconnect the plug it cable before installing or changing a saw blade. Use the FastFix system and confirm that the blade is fitted in the indicated direction.
Select the 42-tooth WOOD FINE CUT blade for cleaner finish cuts or the 28-tooth WOOD UNIVERSAL blade for efficient general-purpose rip and cross cuts.
Mark the required cutting line and position the FS 1400/2 guide rail with its splinterguard edge directly against the retained side of the line.
Slide the FSZ 120 clamps into the guide rail's lower channel and tighten them securely without distorting the workpiece or rail.
Adjust the saw's guide play so that it moves smoothly along the rail without sideways movement.
Set the required cutting depth, allowing for the guide rail thickness, and select the appropriate bevel angle and speed for the material.
Connect a compatible dust extractor to the CLEANTEC extraction connection and make sure the hose will not catch during the cut.
Position the saw at the starting point, switch it on and allow the blade to reach the selected speed before plunging into the material.
Guide the saw steadily along the rail without forcing it. Maintain control until the blade has completely cleared the workpiece.
Release the trigger, allow the blade to stop fully and disconnect the power before making adjustments, clearing blockages or packing the tool away.

Safety

Wear suitable eye, ear and dust protection whenever operating the plunge-cut saw.
Read and follow all operating, blade and safety instructions before using the tool.
Connect an appropriate dust extractor, especially when cutting MDF, chipboard, plasterboard or other materials that generate fine dust.
Secure the workpiece and guide rail properly. Make sure the clamps do not obstruct the saw, blade or intended cutting path.
Keep hands, cables, extraction hoses and loose clothing away from the blade and cutting line.
Check beneath the workpiece before cutting to ensure that the blade cannot contact hidden cables, fasteners, supports or other objects.
Use only correctly sized blades that are suitable for the material and approved for the saw's rotational speed.
Disconnect the tool from the power supply before changing blades, adjusting components, clearing blockages or carrying out maintenance.
Never use a cracked, damaged, blunt or incorrectly mounted saw blade.
Allow the blade to reach the selected speed before entering the material, and do not force or twist the saw during the cut.
Wait for the blade to stop completely before lifting the saw from the guide rail or setting it down.
The guide wedge and quick-acting brake support safer operation but do not replace correct handling and safe working practices.
