Heavy-duty cutting, impressively durable design, easy starts and comfortable handling are all in one easy-to-handle package in the new K 770 power cutter from Husqvarna. Fit the blade, fill the tank, prime, choke and pull the cord is all the user has to do. Customers will appreciate the power of the 74 cubic centimetre engine, the high torque and the five-inch cutting depth.  The Husqvarna K 770 offers a high power-to-weight ratio increasing the exactness and force of the cut, while the low weight and the vibration-damped chassis ensure comfortable handling during long work shifts. The spring-loaded, semi-automatic SmartTension technology makes it easy to ensure the drive belt is always kept in the correct tension, ensuring optimal power transmission as well as maximum life of the belt. And thanks to the new heavy-duty cutting arm with a three-bolt joint, longevity and durability is enhanced in all conditions.

For the toughest conditions
hilti.ca
The Hilti DSH 900-X is a hand-held gas saw with an easy-starting 87 cubic centimetre engine (automatic choke), for cutting to depths of nearly six inches. The easy-start technology eliminates the manual choke for more first-pull starts and significantly reduces risk of flooding.
Maintenance is simple, as each tool comes with a maintenance kit that includes spare starter cords, air filters, a spark plug and a fuel filter. Minor repairs and service can now be carried out simply and quickly on site. The innovative cyclone air filtration system uses centrifugal force to remove dust and debris from the engine air intake. Only the cleanest air from the centre of the cyclone is drawn in and passed through to the paper filter. This dramatically increases the filter’s lifetime and performance and cuts downtime on site dramatically. Thanks to Hilti’s Equidist technology incorporated in the production of its SPX premium blades, every diamond in the blade is precisely positioned in the segment for continuously high cutting performance. The new segment geometry optimizes the number of exposed diamonds leading to a higher cutting performance and extra-long lifetime, even under tough conditions highly reinforced concrete.
