We are setting new standards. With the new tool-free saw blade
change, Festool offers a worldwide innovation. The interlocking
saw blade holder and quick-locking flange enable you to change
the saw blade entirely without tools in record time. Even the
spindle stop locks into place automatically. Here, Festool provides
you with a new quality of working comfort, supporting you in your
day-to-day work.
The interlocking saw blade catch means there is no unnecessary
slack: the power is transferred perfectly onto the saw blade as it
draws effortlessly through the material.
Retractable rotary knob for releasing the quick-locking flange.
Comfortable access to the saw: the retaining flap is unlocked using the rotary knob;
the spindle stop locks into place automatically.
The saw blade can be easily lifted from the holder and replaced.

Festool – decades of experience in sawing. Hardly any other manufacturer is involved so intensively in the development and production of high-quality hand circular and assembly saws. But that’s not
enough for us. In line with the system concept, Festool offers a
whole range of high-quality saw blades.
Every Festool saw blade is manufactured in line with the demands
of our customers. This also applies to the saw blades of the CS 50.
They have been specially developed and rigorously checked. The
high-quality steel blade body and the finest grain carbidetipped saw teeth ensure high quality, as does the computerised
production process. This produces saw blades with the best pos-
sible features: high cutting quality, long service life, good sharpening properties, optimised chip guidance, as well as low-vibration
and low running noise.
Festool provides you with solutions geared to the material you work
on. Each of the five saw blade types for the CS50 has a specific
range of applications. Used in this way, the saw blades ensure
optimal work results – when you take into account the quality
of the saw cut, operating comfort and service life (sawing time up
to sharpening). You save time and sharpening costs.
Changing is worth it! The professional tradesman knows that good
quality tools make work considerably easier and saves money.
For rapid sawing with low application of power,
especially in the case of rip cuts in solid wood.
This power saving is achieved using the special
cutting angle. Suitable for hard and soft woods.
The all-rounder for processing all woods and
wooden materials (e.g. chip board) as well as
building panels and soft plastics.
The fine-cut blade achieves clean cross cuts free
of splinters in solid wood as well as in laminated
or veneered materials.
Special saw blade for laminated panels and
mineral materials. Thanks to special fine-grain
carbide, this saw blade is ideal for these materials,
achieving a significantly longer service life.
For aluminium profiles and plates as well as hard
and reinforced plastics.

In detail and in action
Weight Handling
The first time you pick up the new CS50 you will feel one advantage: its very low weight of 17.4 kg and the compact design
make the Precisio CS 50 mobile for any application.
The CS 50 may be light, but it is also very sturdy: the special
material, combined with the honeycomb construction of the
supports and struts, ensures minimum weight and high stability.
Never trip up again: the practical cable holder and foldaway
legs of the CS 50 make it possible, as the legs are integrated
into the machine. The CS 50 can be set up and ready for work
in an instant. Depending on requirements, you always have a
choice of two working heights.
Functions
Drawing mechanism, switching to continuous or brief operation,
instantly switching off or speed adjustment – the multifunction
handle combines all the operating elements in one easy to use
handle.
This convenient control of the machine’s functions is made possible by the use of digital electronics. All of the operating func-
tions can be controlled centrally.
For example, you can approach the scribe mark accurate to
one millimetre, switch on, saw, switch off. And you’re done.
This provides safety with the highest operating comfort.
Save on a second device: as a bench trimming saw, the CS 50
combines two types of saw, enabling cross and rip cuts without requiring conversion.
The angle stop, which can be turned through 180°, provides
you with an enormous variety of applications. On the one hand,
it enables rapid changes from cross to rip cuts simply by turning
it down, without time-consuming conversions. On the other
hand, locking points enable highly accurate angle settings within
the shortest possible time.
Always there. Everything in one hand. Used practically everywhere.
Simply fold out: a firm stance by means
of clamping without slack.
Integrated cable holder for safety and
convenience during transport.
Cross-cutting up to 294 mm.
Problem-free switching from rip cuts to
cross-cutting.

Precision
On the CS 50, angle and size settings can be found in one place.
The ergonomic arrangement of the operating elements and
clearly legible design of the scales, mean you always have an
overview even during complicated sawing work.
All the scales of the CS 50 can be adjusted. This enables exact
setting of cutting angles as well as saw blade thicknesses.
Simple precision is provided by the spacer wedge that can be
lowered: simply press it downwards and the CS 50 is equipped for
all covered cuts – without any complicated setup operations.

Durability
Reliability in use and long service life – ensured on the CS 50
by the intelligent, programmed digital electronics and the
well-conceived construction of the device, using high-quality
materials such as magnesium.
The motor, saw blade and workpiece are specially protected on
the CS 50 by the digital electronics. They automatically regulate
the motor speed and supply additional power when the load
rises. At the same time, overheating of the motor is prevented
and peaks in current are suppressed. The machine start-up
is particularly gentle. The digital electronics also ensure rapid
deceleration of the saw blade by means of the quick-acting
safety brake.
The gains achieved on the CS 50 with regard to its lightness
have not impaired safety. The CS 50 is particularly resilient as
a device for mobile use: the honeycomb design of the supports
ensures stability and reduces the mass at the same time. All
moving parts are designed for continuous loads even when
used for heavy-duty tasks.
As a particularly light and precise bench trimming saw, the CS 50
is perfectly suited to versatile, mobile use in fitting and installation. However, it can do even more: with the matching system
accessories, it is quickly and easily transformed into a complete
sawing station.
With the right accessories, cross-cuts up to
830 mm
in length are no problem, either.
Well-conceived and reliable.

Economic efficiency
More economical in use, superior handling, and low saw blade
wear: the CS 50 bench trimming saw is the perfect device for
rip and cross cuts – without annoying conversions.
With the bench trimming saw, you always saw with the
best possible plunge angle. This is gentler on the saw blade,
which means that in comparison with circular cross-cut saws
it remains usable up to eleven times longer. The sawing
principle
for bench trimming saws also means that the cutting
forces are up
to four times lower than for circular cross-cut
saws. These results were determined by the Institute for
Machine Tools at the University of Stuttgart.

Precision – a fitting name for the Festool bench trimming saws.
The Precisio CS 50 is the perfect complement to the proven
CS 70. The performance of the powerful CS 70 used for largeformat workpieces is matched by the CS 50 for mobile use.
And it is just as effective.
The same applies to both: perfect cutting quality in one movement, optimised handling with the highest level of safety and
outstanding durability. In a word: Precisio.
