Anyone who regularly cuts insulating materials will be more than familiar with problems like these: Blades fail and flying glass fibres penetrate the skin like tiny needles, or in the worst case, released glass and mineral wool fibres cause fits of coughing. With the ISC 240 cordless insulation saw, these unpleasant experiences are a thing of the past.

Since its launch, the ISC 240 has been revolutionising the cutting of insulating materials and has now become the tool of choice on many constructions sites. Why? Because it does exactly what workmen in the past have painfully longed for – and maybe offers even a little more: With perfectly coordinated cutting sets, the job of cutting mineral and natural fibre or polyurethane insulating materials becomes effortless. Whether you are working on a roof, scaffolding or on the ground, with the cordless insulation saw you have maximum flexibility wherever you are. And to give you even more mobility while cutting, the ISC 240 now comes with the new 4.0 Li-HighPower Compact battery pack.

Clean – precise – mobile – convenient
You can choose between two cutting sets with cross-set or serrated saw blades, each with blade lengths of 240 or 350 mm. The blade set is quick and easy to change without tools thanks to the quick-change system. the guide rail and angle stop make it easy to make repeat straight cuts and precise angles. Festool has also developed a perfect extraction system for cutting insulating materials, of course, since hazardous materials can be released during cutting depending on the relevant material. Once you have connected the right mobile dust extractor to your ISC 240, you are protected in every situation. For more information on healthy working, dust classes and mobile dust extractors, visit www.festool.co.uk/dustfree. With the ISC 240 cordless insulation saw, you can even cut mineral and natural fibre insulating materials as well as polyurethane insulation panels with precision. Weighing just 2.2 kg and with a perfectly balanced design, the ISC 240 delivers the highest level of mobility and maximum working comfort, even when used with just one hand.


Changing materials means changing blades

For every insulation material there’s the perfect blade set with saw blades in different lengths: 240 or 350 mm. 

 

  • Cutting set with cross-set saw blade (1)
    for polyurethane insulating materials, polystyrene and rigid stone and glass wool

  • Cutting set with serrated saw blade (2)
    for flexible mineral and natural fibre insulating materials


Sawing insulation materials with dust extraction

Cutting into insulation materials releases harmful dust. This is why you should always use dust extraction when cutting insulation. 

 

  • Mobile dust extractor with dust class M (3)
    for wood wool and polyurethane insulating materials as well as polystyrene

  • Mobile dust extractor with dust class H (4)
    for mineral wool (stone wool and glass fibre)


Tips for excellent work results
