The revolution in insulating-material saws.
No matter whether freehand or guided with guide rail and stop system, whether working on roofing, scaffolding or flooring, with insulating material made of mineral fibres, natural fibres or PUR insulating boards – the ISC 240 impresses with its mobility, versatility and efficiency, making it the optimal solution for anyone wishing to insulate housing with minimum effort.
The revolution in insulating-material saws.
Strengths and benefits
- Perfectly coordinated cutting sets for precise and fast cutting of flexible mineral and natural fibre insulating materials as well as PUR insulating materials
- For cutting material efficiently: With the guide rail and angle stop (available in a set or as accessories), reproducible angled cuts can be made with precise dimensions
- Work without tiring thanks to a perfectly balanced design and low weight – for maximum comfort when working, even in one-handed operation
- Cut even the thickest insulating materials effortlessly: Thanks to the cutting set for cutting depths up to 350 mm
- Replacement of the cutting sets without the need to use tools for efficient work adapted to the material
- Ideal in combination with the Li-HighPower battery pack: Weighing not even 600 grams, it is both 20% lighter and 50% more compact than a 5.2 Ah standard battery pack
Main areas of use
- For cutting flexible insulating materials such as glass wool, rock wool and natural fibres (with serrated saw blade cutting set)
- For cutting PUR (polyurethane hard foam) and polystyrene insulating boards (with cross-set saw blade cutting set)
- Cable-free cutting where there is no power connection or where this is difficult to access (e.g. outdoors, on scaffolding)
- Ideal for mobile use in assembly applications
- Cutting of flexible insulating materials with precise angles and accurate dimensions – when used together with the guide rail and the FS-WA-ISC angle stop
- Alternate top bevel saw blade (W/PW)
Items included
without battery pack, without charger, SG-240/W-ISC serrated cutting set, adapter table (204160), guide rail slide, Systainer SYS3 M 237, in carton
Warranty all-inclusive

Extra Information
- This is the Basic version and is supplied without battery pack and charger.
- The included SG-240/W-ISC cutting set is suited to flexible insulating materials such as mineral wool and natural fibre insulation.
- For rigid insulation such as PUR and polystyrene boards, use the correct cross-set cutting set for the material.
- The ISC 240 can be used freehand or with a Festool guide rail and stop system for more accurate cuts.
- The 27 mm dust extraction connection allows connection to a suitable Festool dust extractor where dust control is required.
- For best cordless performance, use compatible Festool 18 V battery packs suited to the application.
Pro Tips
- Use the guide rail slide when straight, repeatable cuts are needed. Insulation may be soft, but wonky cuts still show up during fitting.
- Match the cutting set to the insulation type. Flexible mineral wool and rigid foam boards need different blade styles for best results.
- Let the saw cut at its own pace. Forcing it can compress soft insulation and reduce cut quality.
- Use the FS-WA-ISC angle stop with a guide rail when cutting repeated angled pieces for roof or framing work.
- Keep the cutting set clean and inspect it regularly. Dull or damaged blades make insulation cutting messy very quickly.
How to Use
- Select the correct cutting set for the insulation material being cut.
- Remove the battery pack before fitting or changing the cutting set.
- Fit the cutting set using the FastFix system and make sure it is securely locked in place.
- Attach the adapter table or guide rail slide if the application requires guided cutting.
- Connect a suitable dust extractor to the 27 mm extraction connection where dust extraction is required.
- Insert a compatible Festool 18 V battery pack.
- Mark the cutting line clearly on the insulation material.
- Place the saw on the material or guide rail and start the machine before entering the cut.
- Guide the saw steadily through the material without forcing or compressing the insulation.
- Allow the cutting set to stop completely before setting the tool down or changing accessories.

Safety
- Wear eye, ear and dust protection when cutting insulation materials.
- Use the correct cutting set for the material being cut.
- Remove the battery pack before changing cutting sets, fitting accessories or cleaning the tool.
- Make sure the cutting set is correctly fitted and locked before starting the saw.
- Keep hands clear of the cutting set and cutting line during operation.
- Support the insulation material properly so it does not shift, compress or tear during cutting.
- Use dust extraction and suitable respiratory protection when cutting materials that create dust or loose fibres.
- Do not force the saw through the material; use a steady feed rate for cleaner cutting.
- Allow the cutting set to stop completely before placing the tool down.
- Use only compatible Festool batteries, chargers, cutting sets and accessories.
