- Order number: FES576530

The cordless D-handle version of the CARVEX – performance similar to a mains-powered tool.
With these two, even tight curves feel like straight lines. With 3800 strokes per minute, the high-performance, energy-efficient EC-TEC motor gives you powerful, fast sawing progress every time. Always guaranteed: Utmost precision thanks to the specially developed hammer guide and the guide jaws featuring parallel adjustment. They act as a third guide to keep the saw blade on track with no compromises. And the fact that top performance does not merely relate to sawing results is also shown by the ergonomic design of our cordless pendulum jigsaws, which enables you to work tirelessly for sustained periods.

Extra Information
- This is the Basic version and no battery or charger is listed in the Festool scope of delivery.
- The PSBC 420 EB-Basic is the D-handle version in the Festool CARVEX cordless jigsaw range.
- The machine works especially well with compatible Festool Li-HighPower compact battery packs for a lighter cordless setup.
- The supplied blade set includes one WOOD FINE CUT blade and one WOOD UNIVERSAL blade for common wood cutting applications.
- For best results, match the jigsaw blade to the material and required cut quality.
- Use suitable dust extraction where possible to keep the cut line clearer and reduce dust in the work area.
Pro Tips
- Use a fine-tooth blade and the splinterguard when the visible cut edge must be clean.
- Use a lower pendulum setting for cleaner cuts and a higher pendulum setting for faster cutting progress.
- Let the blade do the cutting; forcing the jigsaw can cause blade deflection and a rougher cut.
- For tight curves, reduce feed speed and guide the saw smoothly without twisting the blade.
- Use dust extraction and the stroboscopic light together for better visibility of the cut line.
How to Use
- Select the correct jigsaw blade for the material and cut quality required.
- Fit the blade securely using the FastFix blade change system.
- Fit the splinterguard when a cleaner top and bottom cut edge is required.
- Insert a compatible Festool 18 V battery pack.
- Set the stroke rate and pendulum action according to the material and application.
- Connect suitable dust extraction if required.
- Place the base flat on the workpiece before starting the cut.
- Start the jigsaw and allow it to reach the selected speed before feeding into the cut.
- Guide the saw steadily along the marked line without forcing the blade.
- Switch off and allow the blade to stop completely before lifting the saw from the workpiece.

Safety
- Wear eye, ear and dust protection when cutting wood, board materials, plastics or metals.
- Always read and follow the manufacturer’s operating and safety instructions before use.
- Use the correct jigsaw blade for the material being cut.
- Check that the blade is correctly fitted and secure before switching on the machine.
- Keep hands away from the blade and cutting path at all times.
- Secure the workpiece properly before cutting.
- Allow the blade to stop completely before lifting the saw from the workpiece.
- Remove the battery before changing blades, changing accessories, cleaning or carrying out maintenance.
- Use dust extraction where possible, especially when cutting dusty sheet materials or coated boards.
- Do not force the blade through tight curves, as this can cause blade deflection or breakage.
