World’s First Cordless Electric Cut-off Machine, the Stihl TSA 230

There’s something new under the springtime sun. Powered by a 36-volt lithium-ion battery, the TSA 230 Stihl Cutquik is a game-changer for heavy-duty hardscape and concrete projects.  This slick new portable cut-off machine offers easy electric starting and powerful cutting performance in a lightweight, compact package that can be used indoors because it produces no emissions. It features a semi-automatic belt tensioner, and a reversible cutting arm lets you cut in the inboard or outboard position. The quick-connect, onboard water-control suppresses masonry dust, and a tool-free locking device prevents wheel rotation when removing the wheel-attachment bolt. The TSA 230 also requires less maintenance and is priced below its gasoline-powered counterpart. (Battery and charger are sold separately.)
