Technical Data KSE 55 Vario Plus

The Perfect Cut.
You used to need two saws for any construction job - now one will suffice. Our KSE 55 Vario Plus combines the advantages of plunge-cut and manual circular saws in a globally unique solution. Not only does this save double purchasing costs for the craftsman. He also only needs to calculate with a single saw in respect of storage and transport. This saw makes his work even more flexible and faster. Its extremely low weight, stable guide plate and robust casing make sure that any work with this saw will always be perfect. These - and many other - advantages can be used each and every day for carpentry, joining and interior fittings.

 

Rubber handle
For a safe grip and low-vibration work.


On / off switch with safety switch
Safety switch to prevent unintended switching on of the device; its central position is equally suitable for left and right handed users.


Cable reel
Ensures that the cable does not catch at the guide rail end or end stop.


Extraction nozzle
For connection to professional external extraction. Can be removed and swivelled.


Robust pressure-cast magnesium casing
Best weight-performance ratio; best heat dissipation for a longer lifespan.


No protruding table plate
Shadow gaps can be cut starting at 18 mm.


Doubly guided parallel stop
The parallel stop included in the scope of delivery makes it easy to cut parallel to edges.


Position indicator
Indicates the saw blade position at maximum cut depth.


Cutting indicator
Shows the cutting edges even for bevel cuts.


Pressure-cast magnesium guide plate
The solid construction offers a high stability at a low weight.


Angle setting possibility
For sawing angle cuts of up to 45° precisely.
 


Fine adjustment when using with a guide rail
For precisely guiding the machine while sawing.


Saw blade stop
The SmartChange saw blade replacement keeps the hinged cover fixed open and the spindle locked – the user can use both hands to replace the saw blade.


Thumbwheel for speed control
To exactly adapt the speed to the material to be processed.


Hinged cover can be opened easily
The hinged cover can be opened very easily by a lever without coming too close to the sharp saw blade, e.g. to put the saw on the guide rail before plunging.


Systematic guidance.
Our guide rail permits making very precise cuts without considering the fibre direction of the work piece. This keeps the rail from sliding. It is either fixed directly to the work piece with a screw clamp or is held by the anti-sliding rubber coating. For longitudinal cuts, the user can concentrate on feed jobs. When plunging, the guide rail is used for exact saw blade positioning – the end stops included in the supply avoid any risk of kick-back. Using adapters, the guide rail can also be inserted into routers and jig saws. A further great advantage: Our guide rail is compatible with many saws of other brands.
