Husqvarna’s new electric wall saw

Husqvarna’s new electric wall saw, the WS 482 HF, allows cutting and drilling contractors to work faster and more efficiently. The latest WS 482 HF, is 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. “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, the WS 482 still delivers 9 kW. No other electric wall saw on the market today can do this,” says Husqvarna Construction Products construction equipment product manager Lars Gustafsson.
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 you saw on.
The PP 480 HF is the power pack for the WS 482. It weighs only 23 kg, is compact and very easy to transport. The WS 482 HF powered by the PP 480 will be launched at the end of the year.

Technical facts: WS 482 HF
The powerful water- cooled electric motor generates a total of 19 kW to the shaft even though the saw weighs only 28 kg.
• The shaft has a continuous speed setting and is operated via radio remote control. This gives full control over the sawing process and great freedom of movement at the workplace.
• Two-speed, water-cooled gearbox for a wide rpm range.
• Short distance between track and blade for a straighter cut and less wear on saw and blade.
• Slip clutch for all moving parts.
• Symmetric track makes is possible to cut on both sides of the track.
• The rotation direction of the blade can be set by remote control, giving the water spray the desired direction.
