Designed for high-stakes scenarios where every second counts, this rugged rescue saw delivers the performance, visibility, and reliability needed in fire, police, and disaster response operations. Whether you’re clearing debris, cutting through vehicle components, or making fast entries through building materials, the K 970 Rescue is engineered to thrive in the harshest environments.

Equipped with a 6.5 hp petrol engine, this gas powered saw offers consistent, high-output performance to ensure smooth and efficient cutting under pressure. Fire departments and emergency teams across the globe trust the K 970 Rescue for its durability, fast-start capabilities, and superior design features that support rapid, decisive action in life-threatening situations.

Designed for Visibility, Speed, and Safety

What sets the K 970 Rescue apart from conventional disc cutter tools is its specialized rescue-focused design. The saw features a high-visibility magnesium blade guard, optimized for use in low-visibility conditions like smoke, water spray, and darkness. This visibility is crucial during rapid response work, ensuring operators maintain safe and accurate blade alignment.

The digital ignition system ensures quick, dependable starts in any condition, reducing downtime and boosting operator confidence in high-pressure moments. Its low weight, ergonomic design, and robust construction make it easier to carry and operate—even with heavy gear or gloves.

Ideal for tasks such as:

  • Forced entry through doors, walls, or vehicle panels
  • Cutting structural debris or roofing during rescue ops
  • Slicing through steel, concrete, and composites

Mobility and Performance When It Matters Most

The K 970 Rescue is a truly mobile solution, providing cordless freedom without sacrificing power.
