the tightest curve feel like you are cutting in a straight line. It is
the combination of outstanding features that makes the new
CARVEX PS 400 such an exceptional pendulum jigsaw. An amaz­ingly durable energy-saving EC-TEC motor powered by lithium ion
technology ensures powerful, rapid cutting progress. Lightweight
and handy with an ergonomic shape and intelligent switch posi­tions for effortless working. Available with a stirrup handle or
knob, and even with a mains power cable and plug it connection.
Impressive accuracy in any shape or form, optimised for excellent

Batter y technology for professional
demands
Through 8 m* of material, the powerful
lithium ion batteries and EC-TEC motor have
set new benchmarks with regard to cutting
power. Also compatible with all batter y
packs for cordless drills from the C, T and
TDK series.

What do you get when you cross a
powerful cutting stroke with
effortless handling around bends
and corners? Pure enthusiasm for
the CARVEX.

Although extremely powerful, the 800 watt motor actually consumes
30 % less energy in reality – not a contradiction in terms, just a
guarantee of greater efficiency from the EC-TEC motor with recently
developed gear concept. An impressive 80 % of the power generated by
the machine is transferred to the saw blade, which is not surprising
considering the ease with which the CARVEX cuts through table and
kitchen worktops, hardwood and metal. The advantage of low energy
requirements during battery operation are obvious: the jigsaw pro­duces the same degree of power as cable machines and is far superior
to other cordless saws.

No carbon brushes, no wear. Just full power.
The EC-TEC motor on the CARVEX generates outstanding cutting power and
does not have carbon brushes that heat up or wear at high speeds. The
EC-TEC is also more lightweight and compact than conventional motors,
achieves a higher degree of efficiency and offers bundles of power.

Festool and the environment.

The CARVEX achieves the same power as a
pendulum jigsaw from an equivalent class yet
consumes 30 % less energy - saves on electricity
bills and valuable resources.
