Husqvarna has launched the heavy-duty K 1270 cut-off saw, which has the manufacturer’s X-Torq engine, designed to reduce fuel consumption and emissions without compromising power output.

The engine uses air to flush out the cylinder instead of using a fuel mixture, as in a conventional two-stroke engine. The K 1270 can accept 14in and 16in diameter blades, and it has a magnesium blade guard for an improved power-to-weight ratio. A K1270 Rail version is also available for railway contractors, and both models supersede the previous K1260 versions. For more details visit www.husqvarnacp.co.uk
