Its robust 6.5 hp engine, 16-inch blade capacity, and 6-inch cutting depth make it a powerhouse for professionals tackling heavy concrete cutting or demolition work in challenging conditions.

Whether you’re performing deep cuts on roads, sidewalks, or structural concrete, the K 970 SmartGuard is a reliable solution that performs under pressure while reducing the risk of kickback.

SmartGuard Safety Blade Design for Safer Cutting

At the core of the K 970 SmartGuard is the innovative SmartGuard system—an extended blade guard that not only improves operator protection but also reinforces proper cutting technique. By guiding the operator toward the correct cutting zone, SmartGuard reduces the likelihood of incidents such as kickbacks and misaligned cuts. It’s especially useful for high-volume contractors who prioritize crew safety and want tools that support proper training and operation.

This makes the K 970 SmartGuard not only a powerful concrete saw, but also a smart investment in reducing jobsite risk.
