Festool PA-A-HK 85 Parallel Side Fence for HK 85

At a Glance: Bilateral offset parallel fence for accurately guiding the Festool HK 85 when working with narrow workpieces from 22mm to 185mm wide.

The Festool PA-A-HK 85 Parallel Side Fence transforms the HK 85 circular saw into an even more controlled and versatile cutting system. Developed specifically for narrow workpieces, its offset design makes it easier to guide the saw accurately while producing straight, repeatable cuts parallel to an existing workpiece edge. The fence can be adjusted for workpiece widths from 22mm to 185mm and is particularly useful when separating longer workpieces, splitting boards and panel materials, or producing straight grooves and channels. Its bilateral design provides flexible positioning on the saw, helping professionals achieve accurate results across a variety of workshop, installation and timber-processing applications.

Accurate parallel cutting on narrow workpieces

The offset fence arrangement positions the guide surface where it can remain securely supported against narrower material. This provides better control and makes precise, parallel cutting with the Festool HK 85 considerably easier.

Product highlights

Designed for narrow workpieces: Enables controlled parallel cutting on materials from 22mm to 185mm wide.
Offset fence design: Provides reliable contact with the workpiece edge when a conventional fence arrangement may not be practical.
Bilateral operation: The parallel fence can be positioned to suit the required cutting arrangement and working direction.
Adjustable cutting width: Easily set the required distance for accurate and repeatable parallel cuts.
Ideal for longer materials: Helps guide the HK 85 consistently when separating long boards and panel materials.
Festool system compatibility: Purpose-built for secure and precise use with the Festool HK 85 circular saw.

Features

Offset parallel stop: Specially configured to provide secure guidance along the edges of narrow workpieces.
Bilateral configuration: Offers flexible attachment and positioning for different cutting requirements.
Wide adjustment range: Suitable for workpiece widths between 22mm and 185mm.
Direct HK 85 compatibility: Designed to fit and operate with the Festool HK 85 circular saw.
Tool-guided accuracy: Maintains a consistent distance between the blade and the workpiece edge.

Benefits

Improved cutting accuracy: Provides a stable reference against the workpiece edge for straighter, more consistent results.
Repeatable dimensions: Once adjusted, the fence helps reproduce cuts at the same width across multiple workpieces.
Better control: The offset design supports controlled guidance when working with narrow or elongated materials.
Faster setup: Allows parallel cuts to be completed without repeatedly measuring and marking the full cutting line.
Expanded HK 85 versatility: Makes the circular saw more effective for ripping, grooving and channel-cutting applications.

Application

Producing straight parallel cuts on narrow workpieces.
Separating and ripping longer workpieces.
Splitting boards and panel materials.
Cutting timber and sheet materials to a consistent width.
Creating straight grooves.
Creating parallel channels.
Making repeated cuts with consistent dimensions.

Extra Information

Designed exclusively for use with the Festool HK 85 circular saw.
The adjustable working range accommodates workpiece widths from 22mm to 185mm.
The fence uses the edge of the workpiece as its reference, so the reference edge should be straight and free from damage.
Check that the fence is correctly positioned and securely tightened before starting each cut.
The PA-A-HK 85 guides the saw parallel to an existing edge and does not replace a guide rail where guide-rail cutting is required.

Pro Tips

Measure from the saw blade tooth that projects furthest towards the fence when setting an exact cutting width.
Make a test cut on an offcut after adjusting the fence, particularly when an exact finished dimension is required.
Keep the guide surfaces clean and free from sawdust or resin deposits to maintain smooth movement and accurate positioning.
Apply gentle, consistent sideways pressure to keep the fence against the reference edge without forcing or twisting the saw.
For repeated cuts, confirm that both adjustment points remain firmly secured before processing the full batch.

How to Use

Disconnect the Festool HK 85 from the power supply before fitting or adjusting the parallel side fence.
Insert the guide rods of the PA-A-HK 85 into the corresponding mounting points on the saw.
Position the fence on the appropriate side of the saw for the required cut and workpiece arrangement.
Adjust the fence to the required workpiece or cutting width within its 22mm to 185mm operating range.
Measure the distance from the saw blade to the fence and securely tighten the saw&s locking mechanisms.
Support and clamp the workpiece securely, ensuring that the cutting path is unobstructed.
Place the fence firmly against the straight reference edge and guide the saw forward with smooth, even pressure.
Allow the blade to stop completely before lifting the saw or making further adjustments to the fence.

Safety

Wear suitable eye, ear and respiratory protection while operating the circular saw.
Disconnect the saw from the power supply before fitting, removing or adjusting the parallel fence.
Ensure that the fence is fully inserted, correctly aligned and securely locked before starting the saw.
Clamp and support the workpiece securely, especially when processing long or narrow material.
Keep hands clear of the blade, cutting path and underside of the workpiece.
Do not force or twist the saw during the cut, as this may cause the blade to bind or the fence to lose contact with the reference edge.
Check that the offcut can separate freely without trapping the blade or creating a kickback hazard.
Follow all operating and safety instructions supplied with the Festool HK 85 circular saw.
