New STIHL TS 410 Cut-off saw

The TS 400 has a new successor – the STIHL TS 410 – a new high performance model, available now at STIHL specialist dealers nationwide.   Already receiving excellent reviews, the new STIHL TS 410 cut-off saw is a compact, powerful and tough performer.  Operating benefits – like minimised maintenance and reduced fuel consumption, ensure it is cost and time-efficient in use and the new model has superb handling and standard-setting low vibration levels.        

Designed for the user and for the task, the new STIHL TS 410 not only looks good, it feels good too.  The compact new design and excellent balance promote easy handling in any cutting position, and the new anti-vibration system sets new standards in its class.  At just 3.9 m/s2 (ahv eq) the vibration level almost triples the time* a user can operate the saw before any action is required under the recent EU Directive on hand-arm vibration, and that means they can operate the saw throughout the course of a normal working day.  Critically, the anti-vibration system delivers this effective protection for the user without compromising the machine’s handling.  The cut-off saw retains a smooth ‘first cut’ when accuracy is required and performance is characterised by excellent cutting behaviour and ease of control. 

In the tough working environment of a cut-off saw, an effective air filter system is crucial to ensuring an engine’s performance and long service life.  The new STIHL TS 410 features a new air filter system that is highly efficient and needs minimal maintenance.  The three-stage system incorporates cyclone pre-filtration whereby centrifugal forces channel intake air dust particles away from the main paper filter - effectively removing 80 percent of dust at this very first stage.  As a result, filter life is extended to around one year in normal building site use, and no interim cleaning is required.  That makes this machine both cost-effective and time efficient in use and that means good news for the operator.

The new STIHL TS 410 is kind on the pocket in another way too – its new high performance engine reducing fuel consumption by an impressive 20% compared to its predecessor.  For user and their environment, the engine’s innovative stratified charge technology delivers the proven power to get the job done and sets standards in terms of emissions, with levels that fall well within the EU (Stage III) Exhaust Emissions Directive due to come into force in 2012.  The engine starts reliably and easily thanks to features like the manual fuel pump primer and decompression valve; and then
drives effective power with impressive torque to the high speed cutting wheel.      

In dealerships now, the new STIHL cut-off saw is available with both 300mm (TS 410) and 350mm (TS 420) cutting wheels.  Compact and light in weight, the saw is ideal for handheld cutting and is fitted as standard with a neat new integrated water attachment kit for effective dust suppression.  It can also be used on the handy new STIHL cart : simply clamp it on when long stretches need cutting, and use the handlebar control to set cutting depth with millimetre accuracy.

SMC Launches Its New Supersilent Range Of Genpac Powermasters

SMC recently met with the UK’s major plant and generator hire companies at Belton Woods in Grantham where it officially launched its new supersilent ‘Genpac Powermaster’ generator range, with outputs from 20 – 500kVA. Other generators above 500kVA are also available from the company to special order.

Powermaster generators are the result of considerable development and have been manufactured with a high-end specification designed to satisfy the tough demands made by the generator rental sector. There are 17 models in the range and the company predicts significant sales based on early enquiry levels and pre launch orders taken prior to the official launch.
 
 Genpac Powermasters are housed in robust, heavily soundproofed canopies with easily accessible forklift and crane lifting points. Units feature the unbeatable quality combination of Perkins water-cooled diesels engines and 4 pole Newage alternators designed for reliability and to provide smooth uninterrupted power for long periods. The GSS-40 is also available with optional Yanmar engine and the GSS-100 and GSS–350 with optional Iveco engines.

Other Powermaster features, supplied as standard, include 24 hour run fuel tanks, external fuel connections, oil extraction pump, bunding against spills, hard wire and socket outlets, battery isolator, full engine protection package, fault history log and an electronic control panel providing comprehensive engine and generator operational information. An optional ‘Genpac’ skid pack is also available.

SMC’s Powermaster generators can be fitted into a series of containers developed by the company to provide site security and can be supplied with a choice of 950, 2000 and 3000 litre, fully bunded, industrial metal fuel tanks.
