The world's first fuel injected cut-off machine with a 14" cutting wheel
The STIHL TS 500i petrol cut-off machine uses a 350 mm cutting wheel, for example the STIHL D-BA80 diamond cutting wheel, and is suitable for professional use in the fields of building construction, civil engineering and road construction. Equipped with the innovative,electronically controlled STIHL Injection system, the STIHL 2-MIX engine of this power tool guarantees very good running characteristics and high torque. What’s more, the STIHL TS 500i is particularly easy to start, with just one starting position. The STIHL ElastoStart function and decompression valve also reduce the effort required to start the cut-off machine. The ergonomic handle design and, in particular, the STIHL anti-vibration system protect muscles and joints while you work. The reduction of vibrations also helps you to guide the machine precisely as it cuts.
The electronic water control system automatically switches the water supply on and off to ensure optimally metered watering of the cutting wheel. Fine dosing can be controlled easily via a keypad. By ensuring a long filter service life, the long-life air filter system allows you to benefit from particularly easy maintenance for the STIHL TS 500i petrol cut-off machine. Its drive can easily be retensioned using the semi-automatic belt tensioning function, which extends the life of the belt and bearing.
This video showcases the technical features of the STIHL TS 500i.
HIGH PERFORMANCE IN COMPACT DESIGN. The electronic fuel injection control unit continuously calculates the correct fuel supply and the ideal ignition time, and injection is performed directly into the crankcase via the injection valve. Additionally, sensors measure air pressure and internal and external temperature, and pass information on to the control unit. This can use the identified values to determine the optimum fuel quantity and ignition timing. This means that your power tool offers more power from a similar weight and installation space compared to engines without injection.
STIHL 2-MIX Engine
The STIHL 2-MIX engine is both powerful and economical. Separating the exhaust emissions from the unburnt gas minimises scavenging losses, and therefore increases the power output while reducing consumption.
The two-stroke engine with STIHL 2-MIX technology saves up to 20% of fuel and reduces emissions by up to 70% compared to STIHL 2-stroke engines of the same performance class without 2-MIX technology.
LONG-LIFE AIR FILTER SYSTEM FOR CUT-OFF MACHINES
ENSURES A LONG FILTER SERVICE LIFE. The long-life air filter system for cut-off machines does not collect coarse dust particles, but uses cyclone air routing to separate them and then discharges them into the ambient air. With just this first step the system removes around 80% of dust particles in the intake air. This enables an extremely long filter service life, and makes the tool easy to maintain.
STIHL ANTI-VIBRATION SYSTEM
Intense vibration at the handles of power tools can lead to longer-term effects of blood vessels in the hands and arms. STIHL have therefore developed an effective anti-vibration system where by the oscillations from the machines engine are dampened which significantly reduces vibrations at the handles.
MAGNESIUM GUARD
LIGHTWEIGHT AND STABLE. The cutting wheel guard ensures that you are not hit by flying cut material or cooling water from the cutting wheel. The cast magnesium guard is very lightweight and robust.
MANUAL DECOMPRESSION
EFFORTLESS START-UP. The decompression valve makes it easier to start your power tool. When starting, you can allow some of the compressed mixture to escape from the cylinder by opening the valve. This protects the start-up system and reduces the amount of force required on the starter cord.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC STIHL BELT TENSIONING
EXTENDS THE BELT’S SERVICE LIFE. Semi-automatic STIHL belt tensioning makes it easier for you to re-tension the drive belt. All you need is to adjust the adjustment screw with your spark plug wrench. Consistent tension extends the service life of the belt and bearing. For more detailed information on re-tensioning, please refer to the operating instructions of your power tool.
ERGONOMIC HANDLE
FOR PRECISE GUIDANCE. With the ergonomic handle, you can keep a firm grip on your power tool and carry out cuts precisely, even when dealing with very hard stone. The curved handle offers you an optimised grip position and the highest level of comfort when working.
MANUAL FUEL PUMP
A small fuel pump delivers fuel to the carburettor at the touch of a button. This reduces the number of starting strokes required from a cold start.
STIHL ELECTRONIC WATER CONTROL
FOR OPTIMAL WATER SUPPLY. Thanks to electronic water control, you can reduce water consumption during your work with cut-off machines. Simply activate the electronic water control with the touch of a button after starting. The water supply switches on in a speed-controlled manner, and switches off again automatically when idling. Use the plus and minus buttons to measure the water quantity without changing your grip position.
