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.
