STIHL Rescue Chain Saw

Compact heavy-duty chainsaw for rescue and emergency services use

The rescue saw Stihl MS 460 RS is a chainsaw designed specifically for the requirements of the emergency services. The 76.5cc engine power gives the carbide tipped chain sufficient feed force to cut into roofs and walls.
Applications include:
- Cutting ventilation openings in flat roofs and cladding structures during fire-fighting missions to allow smoke, toxic gases and heat to escape - this is an important supplement to forced ventilation.
- Searching for the seat of a fire, particularly in the case of smoldering fires in the roofs of industrial buildings.
- Cutting access gaps in multiple wall structures.
- Cutting panes of glass.


Materials that can be cut include the following:
- Armoured glass - train windows
- Sheet steel
- Copper or aluminium sheet
- Roofing felt
- Wooden structures with nails
- Masonry
- Aluminium roll-up doors

The tremendous performance packed by the rescue saw STIHL 046 RHD is mainly due to the following factors:

Performance factor Nr. 1:
The power unit
This impressive engine develops considerable power right from the mid-speed range. That means sufficient feed force for the chain, with reserves to overcome high cutting resistance.

Performance factor Nr. 2:
The cutting attachments.
These comprise the STIHL Rollomatic ES guide bar with the sprocket on the bar nose.

The cutters on the STIHL Rapid Duro S chain are tungsten carbide/cobalt tipped - one of the hardest metal alloys. And the cutting depth limiter allows the bar nose penetration depth to be adjusted from 0 - approximately 20cm.


Performance factor Nr. 3:
Reliability.
Top quality material is essential for rugged technology. An impact-resistant electronic ignition system ensures easy starting and smooth running of the engine, for example.

A heavy-duty filter system always delivers sufficient clean air, even in very dusty conditions.
