Husqvarna announces improved K 970 power cutter

Husqvarna continues its long tradition of providing users with powerful and reliable power cutters with the new and improved K 970 model. The new K 970 machine has a further enhanced power-to-weight ratio and offers optimized performance combined with a low weight and superior ergonomics.

One of the many improvements is the new cylinder design and carburetor, which increase the power cutter’s capacity and optimize performance. At the same time, the new cylinder and new muffler, with integrated heat deflector, ensure optimal operating temperatures and make the machine less sensitive to variations in climate and fuel.

Ergonomics have also been improved. The new, lighter blade guard made of magnesium (only available on the 14-inch model; the 16-inch model has a steel guard) gives the power cutter better balance and provides stepless guard adjustment. This makes operation and altering cutting positions easier.

The new blade guard includes a reversible blade bushing, which allows operators to easily switch between blades with different center holes.

A progressive water valve allows exact adjustment of the water volume, greatly reducing water consumption and slurry.

The low weight, together with optimized performance, enhances the machine’s power-to-weight ratio.

The K 970 is equipped with an X-Torq engine, which lowers both emissions and fuel consumption when compared to conventional 2-stroke engines. It also has great startability with air purge and a decompression valve.

The new K 970 is ideal for heavier cutting of concrete and stone in alterations, renovations and new construction work. It is perfect for cutting smaller holes and adjusting window and door openings, as well as for pipe, asphalt and metal cutting. It is also the machine of choice for cutting curbstones and pavers in landscaping.
