Quick Cut/Demolition Saws

Your new saw choice usually comes down to:
- Outdoors (petrol) or Indoors (see electric saws here)
(Petrol saws will have more power, but cannot be used indoors)
- Depth of cut: 125mm for paving, wall chasing, builders etc
-or- 150mm for cutting limestone blocks when landscaping, construction, demolition etc

The Husqvarna 350mm (14") K770 saw is the lighter petrol saw and has 125mm cutting depth.
The 400mm (16") K970 or Guarda FTR095 has more power, cut to 150mm deep, but are heavier.

I match the big stores prices, plus I fit your blade, fuel it, and demonstrate safe starting/shut down procedure.
I also service the machines I sell, and carry a large range of parts in stock in Bibra Lake.

Always read supplied operators manual before use.
Wear PPE and never operate indoors - the fumes will kill!
Silica dust - when workers cut, crush, drill, polish, saw or grind products that contain silica, particles are created, which are one-hundredth of the size of a grain of sand. These can get stuck deep in the lungs.
Ensure precautions to limit exposure to dust are in place.
See the WA government's info on silica dust here.

What is the correct ratio for making up two stroke oil?
Always consult your saw's handbook first for recommendations.
If you make a fuel/oil mix with too much oil, your engine may be hard to start or run, carbon can buildup on engine internals, it will blow smoke and generally perform poorly. Too little oil in your mix can cause permanent and expensive internal damage and overheating.
The biggest problem we see are incorrect fuel/oil mixes made up on site. For example, some 5 litre fuel cans will hold 5.5 litres. When 100ml of oil is added, a few mils of oil is left behind. The ratio of oil is now too low (almost 60:1). It will not affect the engine immediately, but continual use at this ratio will reduce compression and making starting harder. Similarly, using a cap full of oil per tank of fuel is too inaccurate.
Husqvarna generally recommend 50:1 on their saws (100ml per 5l or 20ml per litre).
Guarda recommend 40:1 (125ml per 5l or 25ml per litre) in their saws.
We are happy to recommend 40:1 for Husqvarna saws as well.
See Husqvarna's forestry page for some great tips on how to mix two stroke fuel here.
