## Summary

A cordless plunge-cut saw for the FS guide rail system, running on one or two 18V packs. It cuts 55 mm deep at 90° and 43 mm at 45°, with KickbackStop and a quick-acting brake.

## Why this one

- **KickbackStop**: Stops the blade in milliseconds if the saw kicks back.
- **2 × 18V brushless**: Runs on two packs for full power or one for lighter cuts.
- **FS guide rail**: Straight, splinter-free cuts with splinterguard on both sides.
- **55 mm cut depth**: 43 mm at 45°, bevel from -1° to 47°.

## The story

### Panel cutting on site

The TSC 55 K is for joiners, kitchen fitters and interior carpenters who need straight, splinter-free cuts in sheet material without a table saw or a cable. On an FS guide rail it rips worktops, trims doors and cuts panels to size, with bevels from -1° to 47° and a cut line that stays put when tilting.

### KickbackStop and brushless drive

A sensor watches for kickback while sawing and plunging and stops the blade in fractions of a second; it can be switched off for single cuts and resets on the next start. The brushless EC-TEC motor concentrates torque for fast progress and longer blade life. Two 18V packs give maximum power; one pack works for lighter cuts.

### Built around the system

The saw rides FS guide rails, clips on a splinterguard for clean edges on both sides and changes blades through the FastFix spindle lock. Dust goes to the supplied chip bag or to a CLEANTEC extractor that starts via Bluetooth. The Basic version ships with a 42-tooth blade in a Systainer³ SYS3 M 437.
