Husqvarna’s new high cycle wall saw

Husqvarna has introduced the new electric wall saw, the WS 482 HF based on the same technology as the WS 440 HF launched last year, but can hold up to 1.6m diameter blades and is operated by radio remote control.

It has a new two-speed gearbox combined with variable speed transmission, which allows the optimum speed to be set according to blade diameter, blade type and cutting material. Husqvarna’s new saw is light, flexible and extremely powerful. “The WS 482 is incredibly powerful. You get a total of 19 kW to the blade shaft with a 32 amp fuse, despite the saw weighing only 28 kg. A great advantage is that if only 16 amps are available at the workplace, the WS 482 still delivers a high power of 9 kW. No other electric wall saw on the market today can do this,” says Husqvarna Construction Products construction equipment product manager Lars Gustafsson.
Just like all Husqvarna products, the WS 482 HF was developed to make operators’ work easier and more efficient. The saw is of modular construction, making it easy to hang on the wall and transport. It is possible to cut on both sides of the track. Its direction of rotation can be selected so that the water always sprays in the desired direction, irrespective of which side of the track sawing is done. These combined features make Husqvarna’s electric wall saws completely unique, the company claims. The PP 480 HF is the power pack for the WS 482. It weighs only 23 kg, is compact and easy to transport.
