Festool PSC 420 EB-Basic CARVEX Cordless Pendulum Jigsaw

At a Glance: 18 V cordless pendulum jigsaw with 1 500 - 3 800 min⁻¹ stroke rate, 26 mm stroke length, 4-stage pendulum action and cutting depth up to 120 mm in wood.

The Festool PSC 420 EB-Basic CARVEX is a high-performance cordless pendulum jigsaw designed for accurate, powerful and controlled cutting in wood, panels, plastics, non-ferrous metals and soft steel. With its energy-efficient EC-TEC motor, triple saw blade guidance, rigid lifter rod and tool-free FastFix blade changes, this cordless jigsaw is built for clean curves, precise cut-outs and excellent handling. It is ideal for kitchen fitting, furniture work, interior installation, trimming, coping and general site cutting where cordless freedom and Festool accuracy matter.

Cordless CARVEX precision for curves, cut-outs and clean control

The PSC 420 EB-Basic is made for users who want jigsaw control without being tied to a power cable. The saw blade is supported by a triple guide system to help keep it on track, while the stroboscopic light, splinterguard and CLEANTEC extraction connection help improve visibility and cut quality.

Product highlights

18 V cordless freedom: Works with compatible Festool 18 V battery packs for mobile cutting on site and in the workshop.
EC-TEC motor: Delivers strong cutting performance with efficient battery use and low maintenance.
Triple saw blade guidance: Special hammer guide and parallel guide jaws help keep the blade stable for accurate curves and straight cuts.
Excellent curve control: Built for tight curves, cut-outs and shaped cutting with confident handling.
FastFix blade change: Allows quick, tool-free jigsaw blade changes.
Stroboscopic light: Helps make the scribe mark easier to see while cutting.
Splinterguard included: Helps reduce splintering for cleaner cuts on both sides.
Basic version: Supplied without battery and charger, ideal for users already using the Festool 18 V system.

Extra Information

This is the Basic version and no battery or charger is listed in the Festool scope of delivery.
The PSC 420 EB-Basic is part of the Festool CARVEX jigsaw range.
The machine works especially well with compatible Festool Li-HighPower compact battery packs for a lighter cordless setup.
The supplied blade set includes one WOOD FINE CUT blade and one WOOD UNIVERSAL blade for common wood cutting applications.
For best results, match the jigsaw blade to the material and required cut quality.
Use suitable dust extraction where possible to keep the cut line clearer and reduce dust in the work area.

Pro Tips

Use a fine-tooth blade and the splinterguard when the visible cut edge must be clean.
Switch to a more aggressive blade and pendulum setting when faster cutting progress is more important than the finest finish.
Let the blade do the cutting; forcing the jigsaw can cause blade deflection and a less accurate cut.
For tight curves, reduce the feed speed and guide the saw smoothly without twisting the blade.
Use dust extraction and the stroboscopic light together for better visibility of the cut line.

How to Use

Select the correct jigsaw blade for the material and cut quality required.
Fit the blade securely using the FastFix blade change system.
Fit the splinterguard when a cleaner top and bottom cut edge is required.
Insert a compatible Festool 18 V battery pack.
Set the stroke rate and pendulum action according to the material and application.
Connect suitable dust extraction if required.
Place the base flat on the workpiece before starting the cut.
Start the jigsaw and allow it to reach the selected speed before feeding into the cut.
Guide the saw steadily along the marked line without forcing the blade.
Switch off and allow the blade to stop completely before lifting the saw from the workpiece.

Features

Variable stroke rate: 1 500 - 3 800 min⁻¹ allows the cutting speed to be matched to the material.
4-stage pendulum action: Allows adjustment between cleaner cuts and faster cutting progress.
26 mm stroke length: Provides strong cutting action for efficient progress through different materials.
MMC electronics: Provides adjustable and constant speed with temperature monitoring.
Electronic switch-on/off: Switches on both sides are reachable in different grip positions.
CLEANTEC connection: Integrated bayonet fitting allows connection to suitable Festool dust extraction.
Tool-free table and baseplate change: Makes it faster to adapt the saw to different cutting applications.
Systainer³ storage: Supplied in a SYS3 M 187 for organised storage and transport.

Benefits

More precise cutting: The triple blade guidance helps reduce blade wander for cleaner, more accurate results.
Better mobility: Cordless operation makes the saw ideal for installation work, site tasks and cutting away from plug points.
Cleaner finish: The splinterguard helps reduce tear-out when cutting wood and board materials.
Faster setup: FastFix blade changes and tool-free table changes help reduce downtime between tasks.
Improved visibility: Stroboscopic light and dust extraction help keep the cut line easier to follow.

Application

Cut-outs for sinks and kitchen hobs
Trimming work on furniture, kitchens and interior fittings
Cutting circles and curves
Coping end strips

Safety

Wear eye, ear and dust protection when cutting wood, board materials, plastics or metals.
Always read and follow the manufacturer’s operating and safety instructions before use.
Use the correct jigsaw blade for the material being cut.
Check that the blade is correctly fitted and secure before switching on the machine.
Keep hands away from the blade and cutting path at all times.
Secure the workpiece properly before cutting.
Allow the blade to stop completely before lifting the saw from the workpiece.
Remove the battery before changing blades, changing accessories, cleaning or carrying out maintenance.
Use dust extraction where possible, especially when cutting dusty sheet materials or coated boards.
Do not force the blade through tight curves, as this can cause blade deflection or breakage.
