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.
