Festool SSU 200 EB-Plus UNIVERS Sword Saw

At a Glance: 1 600 W UNIVERS sword saw with 200 mm cutting depth, guide rail compatibility and mitre cuts up to 60°

The Festool SSU 200 EB-Plus UNIVERS is a specialist sword saw designed for fast, accurate and controlled cutting in timber construction, carpentry and insulation work. With a cutting depth of up to 200 mm, it is ideal for cutting pressure-resistant insulating materials, timber, beams, rafters and construction materials where a standard circular saw does not offer enough depth. The integrated guide slot allows the saw to be used with Festool guide rails for straight trimming, rip cuts, mitre cuts and compound cuts, while the drawing cut action helps deliver smooth, jolt-free cutting with excellent control.

Deep Cutting Power With Festool Guide Rail Accuracy

The SSU 200 EB-Plus combines the depth capacity of a chain-based sword saw with the accuracy of the Festool guide rail system. It is made for construction professionals who need to cut thick timber and rigid insulation cleanly, accurately and with better control than freehand cutting.

Product highlights

200 mm cutting depth: Cuts thick timber and construction materials where ordinary saws may not reach deep enough.
Guide rail compatible: Integrated guide slot in the aluminium die-cast base plate allows accurate cuts using Festool guide rails.
Mitre cuts up to 60°: Wide mitre range makes the saw suitable for demanding timber construction and rafter work.
Tool-free chain change: FastFix system allows the chain to be changed quickly and tensioned without tools.
Rotating dust extraction connector: 360° extraction connector helps keep the hose out of the way during cutting.
Drawing cut action: Supports rapid, jolt-free cutting with excellent cutting quality.
MMC electronics: Provides material-adapted speed control, smooth start-up, overload protection and safety brake.
Clear view of the cut: Viewing window in the guard gives a better view of the scribe mark and cutting line.

Extra Information

The SSU 200 EB-Plus is part of Festool's UNIVERS sword saw range for timber construction and insulation material cutting.
The saw can cut up to 200 mm deep at 0°, 140 mm at 45° and 100 mm at 60°.
The integrated guide slot allows use with Festool guide rails for accurate guided cuts.
The FS-Rapid guide rail clamping system can be used to hold guide rails securely at the scribe mark.
The chain can be changed and tensioned without tools using the FastFix system and clamping wheel.
The extraction connector rotates through 360° to help keep the extractor hose out of the cutting path.
Different saw chains are available for different applications and cutting materials.
The chain lubrication system should be monitored and topped up with suitable chain oil as required.

Pro Tips

Use a Festool guide rail whenever accuracy matters, especially on long trimming cuts or angled construction cuts.
Check chain tension and oil level before starting work. A correctly tensioned and lubricated chain gives cleaner, safer cutting.
Use the correct saw chain for the material being cut. Timber and insulation applications may require different chain types.
For mitre or compound cuts, make a test cut on offcut material before cutting the final workpiece.
Connect dust extraction when cutting dusty insulation materials to keep the work area cleaner and improve visibility.
Allow the chain to reach full speed before entering the workpiece, then guide the saw steadily without forcing the cut.

How to Use

Check that the correct chain is fitted for the material being cut.
Inspect the chain tension and adjust it if required using the tool-free tensioning system.
Check the chain oil level and set the lubrication control for the application.
Connect a suitable dust extractor to the rotating extraction connector if dust extraction is required.
Place and secure the Festool guide rail if a guided cut is needed.
Set the required cutting depth, blade position and mitre angle.
Position the saw carefully at the scribe mark and ensure the workpiece is stable and supported.
Start the saw and allow the chain to reach full speed before entering the material.
Guide the saw steadily through the workpiece, keeping both hands on the machine and staying aligned with the guide rail.
Release the speed controller after the cut and allow the chain brake to stop the chain before setting the saw down.

Features

1 600 W motor: Provides strong mains-powered performance for thick timber and rigid insulation materials.
Cutting depth up to 200 mm: Enables deep cuts at 0°, with 140 mm cutting depth at 45° and 100 mm at 60°.
Mitre cutting range: Allows mitre cuts from 0 - 60° for demanding construction angles.
Guide rail system: Patented Festool guidance system supports accurate trimming, rip, mitre and compound cuts.
Tool-free guidance adjustment: Guide jaws can be adjusted to the guide rail without tools for play-free guidance.
FastFix chain system: Chain can be changed and tensioned quickly without needing additional tools.
Chain lubrication control: Chain lubrication can be adjusted from the handle, and switched off during breaks to help prevent oil leakage.
Oil level display: Clear display makes it easy to see when chain lubricant must be topped up.
Electro-dynamic run-down brake: Chain stops quickly once the speed controller is released.
Standard dust extraction connection: Connects to suitable Festool mobile dust extractors for cleaner working.

Benefits

Deep cutting made practical: The 200 mm cutting capacity makes it useful for thick timber, beams and rigid insulation boards.
More accurate construction cuts: Guide rail compatibility helps produce straight, clean and repeatable cuts.
Better control on mitres: The 60° mitre range supports jack-rafter cuts, compound angles and timber framing work.
Faster chain maintenance: Tool-free chain change and tensioning save time on site.
Cleaner work environment: The rotating extraction connector helps keep dust extraction practical and less intrusive.
Improved cutting quality: The drawing cut action gives smoother, more controlled cutting through thick material.
Professional site mobility: Supplied in a Systainer³ for organised transport and storage.

Application

Cutting pressure-resistant insulating materials such as wood fibreboards, PUR and polystyrene
Chop cuts in timber and construction materials
Rip cuts in wood and hard insulating materials
Mitre cuts up to 60°
Compound mitre cuts with guide rail and angle stop setup
Jack-rafter cuts in timber construction
Trimming thick beams, rafters and timber elements
Guided cutting using Festool guide rails

Safety

Read the operating instructions and safety information before using the saw.
Wear suitable eye, ear, hand and dust protection when cutting.
Keep both hands on the saw during operation and keep all body parts clear of the chain path.
Check the chain condition, chain tension and chain lubrication before every use.
Use only suitable Festool-approved chains and accessories for the SSU 200.
Ensure the workpiece is stable, supported and cannot shift during cutting.
Use the guide rail system where possible for controlled, accurate cutting.
Do not force the saw through the material; allow the chain and motor to cut at a controlled rate.
Be extra careful when starting or finishing a cut, as the chain can grab if the saw is not properly controlled.
Allow the chain to stop completely before setting the saw down or making adjustments.
Disconnect the saw from the power supply before changing the chain, adjusting tension, cleaning or carrying out maintenance.
Use dust extraction when cutting materials that create harmful or irritating dust.
