Partner with STIHL to effectively achieve the many challenging tasks on a construction site that must be done as quickly, professionally and safely as possible. STIHL offers a diversity of quality power tools to choose from, no matter what needs to be accomplished, no matter how tight the deadline, no matter what the working environment and on-site conditions may be. STIHL has a global reputation founded on a proud German-based legacy that dates back to 1929 and are experts in manufacturing high-performance equipment for specialist users.
Having to cut through hard, resistant materials such as concrete, metal, tiles, pipes and bricks is a back-breaking job, tough on the tools being used, and tougher on the operator. Using tools of inferior quality means taking longer, with less impressive results and increased user fatigue. Don’t compromise – trust in the STIHL range of power tools to get the job done. There’s a STIHL product for any on-site application, from cut-off saws and concrete cutters that get the job done right first time, to high-pressure cleaners and sweepers that make light work of cleaning up afterwards.
STIHL products are consistently the leaders of the pack, and the STIHL TSA 230 cordless cut-off saw is another worldwide first. Lightweight, compact and easy to work with, it’s the first battery-powered cut-off machine with a230-mm cutting wheel. Despite weighing less than 4 kg without the battery, the TSA 230 is a powerful performer and quickly and smoothly slices through tiles, bricks, pipes and metal. The standard-fitted water connection and optional vacuum adapter ensure clean, dust-free cutting, plus the STIHL cordless design offers the convenience of battery power. So, forget stressing about access to power points or the hassle of ensuring consistent power supply. Working environment is not an issue with this innovative piece of equipment: indoors or outside, wet or dry cutting, the TSA 230 has been designed for precision work with the bonus of being low-noise and emission-free for user comfort. This cordless cut-off machine offers a speedy and powerful performance plus convenience and new applications for those who work on site and around the house.
Another invaluable piece of equipment is the GS 461 concrete cutter. It handles like a chain saw but has the power and grunt of a cut-off machine. Specially designed to be ultra-robust for construction and renovation applications, the GS 461 is ideal for free-hand cutting of concrete with reinforcing, natural stone, masonry and sewage pipes. Its impressive power-to-weight ratio and smooth handling guarantee accuracy and manoeuvrability, and it copes easily with working in tight corners and angles. The guide bar features nozzles that aim forward to precisely provide water to the chain, while standard fittings include side-mounted chain tensioning, a decompression valve, STIHL ElastoStart, a water- and wear-resistant starter cord, a long-life HD2 filter to catch even the finest dust particles to prevent damage to the machine, and a toolless bayonet fuel cap for easy and upright refuelling.
The GS 461 offers brute power without being brutal on its users. As with all STIHL products, the GS 461 is easy to work with and comfortable to use, thanks to its fuel-efficient and environmentally-friendly 2-MIX engine which ensures reduced emissions and an anti-vibration system that reduces user strain, even when working hour after hour.
STIHL also has a range of resilient cut-off saws for heavy-duty work on construction sites. There are various models with different-sized cutting wheels to cater for every need, all capable of taking on the tough work of cutting concrete, stone, bricks and asphalt. Each model is light and compact, easy to work with, easy to start, and powerful enough for numerous demanding on-site applications.
When buying any STIHL product, you become part of the company’s global family of valued customers. STIHL guarantees knowledgeable after-sales service, advice and maintenance through its nationwide network of dealers who offer buyers expert guidance on how to use and maintain their STIHL product. So you’ll never find a STIHL product at your local supermarket, only at STIHL servicing dealers.
