Versatile enough for general construction applications, but well suited for limited access cuts, the TS 440 represents the latest in professional cutting solutions from STIHL. The extended guard adjustment range of the TS 440 allows greater access in challenging cuts such as the bottom portions of walls, cutting in corners, and cutting the underside of in-ground pipes. This expanded guard adjustability is made possible due to the sensor-activated STIHL Quickstop® wheel brake technology. The TS 440 is the first cut-off machine in the world equipped with the technology capable of stopping the rotation of the cutting wheel in fractions of a second if kickback occurs.
