Strengths and benefits
- Top performance for your projects. Less effort, top cutting performance. The power electronics and the brushless EC-TEC motor of the HKC 55 K are perfectly in sync to get the most out of your 8.0 Ah battery pack. Pair that with the thin-cut saw blades designed for the cordless circular saw, with a cutting width of 1.6 mm, and you’ve got maximum performance. Ideal for saving your energy and making quick work of your sawing tasks.
- 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. This way, you can make quick and precise cross-cuts – everywhere you need them. The sturdy positioning bolt and adjustable stop let you make perfectly repeatable angled cuts from -60° to +60°. 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 HKC 55 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Smart’s expanded. You can always get important info about the saw thanks to its connection with the Festool app. This covers a detailed view of the battery's charge level, plus data on the current motor temperature or the KickbackStop feature. You can also get software updates.
