The STIHL TS 440 in action.
Versatile enough for general construction applications, and a powerful choice for limited access cuts, the TS 440 STIHL Cutquik cut-off machine is the latest in professional cutting solutions from STIHL.
The TS 440 introduction gives professionals a product suited for challenging cuts such as bottom portions of walls, cutting in corners, and cutting the underside of in-ground pipes made of concrete, ductile iron, vitrified clay and steel, and similar situations where traditional cut-off machine guard positions limit cutting access.
The expanded guard adjustability is made possible by the world-first sensor-activated STIHL Quickstop wheel brake technology capable of stopping the rotation of the cutting wheel in fractions of a second if kickback occurs.
The STIHL Quickstop wheel brake is designed to allow for extended guard adjustability by reducing the risk of injury from kickback when the guard on the TS 440 has been adjusted to expose the top portion of the wheel.
“The toughest of cutting operations will be performed more easily than ever before,” said Thomas Techow, STIHL Inc. product manager.
