Standalone in every situation
Whether on the roof or on firm ground, whether you are making reproducible angled cuts and guided cuts in combination with the FSK cross-cutting guide rails and the FS guide rails or precise mitre cuts – the HKC 55 cordless circular saw demonstrates what modern circular saws are capable of. It proves this in every cut with its versatility, flexible usability and maximum precision day after day. The Festool Bluetooth® battery packs ensure convenient use of the Festool mobile dust extractor: In combination with a Bluetooth®-compatible Festool mobile dust extractor, they ensure that the extractor starts automatically in AUTO mode when the cordless circular saw is switched on.
- 18V Li-ion battery and connectable cross-cutting guide rails ensure mobility and independence
- Brushless EC-TEC motor combined with lithium-ion batteries for maximum cutting power
- In conjunction with the trimming rail, fast, accurate and mobile cross cuts
- Safe and easy handling thanks to the cutting depth adjustment with plunge function, pendulum hood remote control and guide wedge
- Angle adjustment with central clamping mechanism from 0 to 50°
- Safe and perfectly straight sawing along the guide rail
- Convenient dust extraction: The battery pack communicates via Bluetooth® with the Bluetooth® module of the CLEANTEC mobile dust extractor (can be retrofitted to the CT 26/36/48 as an accessory, directly integrated into the CTC MINI I, CTC MIDI I, CT MINI I and MIDI I cordless extractors) and starts the mobile dust extractor automatically when the HKC 55 is switched on
- Powerful all-rounder: 5.0 Ah battery packs for endurance and power development for all applications
- SCA 16 rapid charger with AIRSTREAM technology: Cools battery packs before and during the charging procedure, for significantly increased charging capacity and fast reuse
- Fully covered: Needless to say, not only the HKC 55, but also the battery packs and the SCA 16 AIRSTREAM rapid charger are fully covered by Festool SERVICE

The combination of 18 V Li-ion AIRSTREAM battery pack and brushless EC-TEC motor with integrated motor management guarantees impressive cutting performance. Without the need for power outlets and cables.
The HKC 55 cordless portable circular saw with FSK cross-cutting guide rail demonstrates what a modern saw can achieve on the roof.
With the 18 V Li-ion AIRSTREAM battery pack, EC-TEC motor and FSK cross-cutting guide rail, the HKC 55 cordless portable circular saw guarantees precise angled cuts that can be replicated. Practically anywhere. And in practically any situation.
Coupling the HKC 55 with the FSK cross-cutting guide rail, which is available in three lengths, is incredibly easy. In no time at all, you have a mobile, easy-to-handle compound mitre saw system for precise and accurate angled cuts.
The fixed positioning bolt and the adjustable stop allow angled cuts from –60° to +60° to be made and repeated exactly. For simple work, the most common angle settings are locked into place in the rail.
To ensure it is always ready for use, the cross-cutting guide rail has an adjustable stop and an integrated rubber spring, which automatically brings the HKC 55 back to the starting position.
Simply push the lever and set the desired cutting depth using the clearly visible and easy-to-read scale, then release – and you’re done. When combined with the plunge cut function, you can also make plunge cuts to the preset cutting depth easily and conveniently.
To enable a clear view of the saw blade, the pendulum guard can be moved backwards from the front handle. This uncovers the saw blade and ensures your hands always remain at a safe distance from the saw blade.
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.
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.
Quick, one-handed and with no need for tools. Saves time and improves quality, because working with a material-specific saw blade goes without saying.
Precision work, even for mitre cuts of up to 50°. When working with the HKC 55 in combination with the guide or cross-cutting guide rail, the scribe line will always follow the cutting edge exactly, even when mitre cutting.
Compound mitre saw system for precise and accurately angled cuts.
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.
Performs impressively with excellent output and long runtimes per battery charge because of the perfect combination of the battery pack with our brushless EC-TEC motors. Thanks to AIRSTREAM technology, the battery pack is actively cooled with the SCA 16 AIRSTREAM rapid charger before and during the charging procedure, meaning that it is ready for use again extremely quickly with maximum charging power. Equipped with Bluetooth®, a paired mobile dust extractor starts automatically when the cordless tool is switched on. Additionally, when used in conjunction with the Festool Work app, you can find detailed information about the charge status and operating data, such as the temperature or charge cycles. And, of course, it is fully covered by Festool Service.
An intelligent charger with AIRSTREAM cooling function that charges in next to no time: Battery packs heat up during heavy-duty applications. However, this is now no longer a problem in terms of charging: Thanks to the AIRSTREAM function, the SCA 16 cools the battery pack before and during the charging procedure. Moreover, in order to save energy, it is only applied when it is technically necessary and sensible to do so. This way, the maximum possible charging performance for the fastest reuse is always achieved.
The Bluetooth® battery pack communicates via Bluetooth® with the Bluetooth® module of the CLEANTEC mobile dust extractor (can be retrofitted to the CT 26/36/48 as an accessory, directly integrated into the CTC MINI I, MIDI I, CT MINI I and MIDI I cordless extractors) and starts the mobile dust extractor automatically when the cordless tool is switched on. In this way, you also benefit from the complete Festool dust-free system when working with Festool cordless tools.
