STOW Construction Equipment has introduced two hand-held saws designed not only for a huge variety of applications but also for extended use in the toughest conditions.

The SHS62 and SHS81 Gas-Cut-Off Saws effectively slice concrete, tile, ceramics, pipe and much more. Both models showcase a reversible blade flange to handle both 20-millimeter and 1-inch blade arbors and can operate either 12- or 14-inch blades.

Weighing 21 and 23 pounds, respectively, the SHS62 and SHS81 will also stick around for the long haul courtesy of a proven triple stage air filtration system that keeps dust and other damaging cutting debris out of the power source ensuring maximum engine protection. That means longer engine, and thus saw, life than similar saws without this independent filtration system.

STOW’s new cut-off saws, powered by 4.7- and 6.3-horsepower 2-cycle EPA-approved gasoline engines, are ergonomically designed for simplified operator comfort and power-on demand. A reversible cutting arm encourages close-in cutting around walls, columns and other obstacles while an easy-adjust cam V-belt tensioner and sturdy front roller bar assembly promote effort-less handling. 

Other standard features on the SHS62 and SHS81 include a water kit, reversible cutting, easy-locking guard adjust knob, a compression release system to reduce the pulling force required for engine starting and industrial crankshaft bearings for simple service and extended operating life.
