It features a powerful 66.7 cc, two-stroke engine that delivers robust performance and reliability. With a maximum cutting wheel diameter of 14 inches, the TS 440 is capable of cutting through a variety of materials including concrete, metal, and masonry with precision and ease.

One of the standout features of the TS 440 is its innovative extended guard adjustment, which allows for enhanced cutting flexibility, especially in confined spaces or when making flush cuts. This adjustment capability is complemented by the quick-stop wheel brake, which enhances operator safety by stopping the wheel in fractions of a second upon release of the trigger.

The machine incorporates Stihl's advanced X2 air filtration system, which provides superior air cleaning and extends the time between filter maintenance, ensuring consistent performance even in dusty environments. Ergonomically designed, the TS 440 includes an anti-vibration system to minimize user fatigue during prolonged use, alongside a semi-automatic belt tensioning system that simplifies maintenance while ensuring optimal power transfer.

Weighing approximately 25.6 pounds, the TS 440 balances power and maneuverability, making it suitable for both horizontal and vertical cuts. Its fuel-efficient engine is compliant with stringent emissions standards, reflecting Stihl’s commitment to environmental sustainability. The TS 440’s combination of power, safety, and adaptability makes it a preferred choice for professionals seeking a reliable and efficient cutting tool.

Stihl TS 440 F.A.Q.

How do I start the Stihl TS 440 cutoff saw?

To start the Stihl TS 440, ensure the machine is on a flat surface. Set the choke lever to the start position, pull the starter grip slowly until you feel resistance, then pull it quickly. Once the engine fires, move the choke to the run position.

What is the proper fuel mixture for the Stihl TS 440?

The Stihl TS 440 requires a fuel mixture of 50:1, which means 50 parts gasoline to 1 part 2-stroke engine oil. Always use high-quality oil and unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 89.

How often should I clean the air filter on the Stihl TS 440?

The air filter should be checked and cleaned after every 10 hours of operation or more frequently if operating in dusty conditions. Replace the filter if it is damaged or excessively dirty.

What should I do if the Stihl TS 440 engine is flooding?

If the engine floods, set the choke lever to the run position, pull the starter grip several times to clear excess fuel, and then try starting again without engaging the choke.

How can I troubleshoot a Stihl TS 440 that won't start?

Check the fuel mixture, spark plug, and air filter. Ensure the spark plug is clean and properly gapped. Verify that the fuel is fresh and the air filter is not clogged.

What type of blade should I use with the Stihl TS 440 for cutting concrete?

For cutting concrete, use a diamond cutting wheel. Ensure the wheel is rated for the specific type of concrete and verify the maximum operating speed matches the saw’s specifications.

How do I adjust the tension of the drive belt on the Stihl TS 440?

First, ensure the saw is off and cool. Loosen the tensioning nut, adjust the tension screw to the correct tension—where the belt can be depressed slightly with moderate force—and then retighten the nut.

What maintenance should be performed regularly on the Stihl TS 440?

Regular maintenance includes checking and cleaning the air filter, inspecting the spark plug, examining the fuel system, and ensuring the blade is properly tensioned and not damaged.

Why is the Stihl TS 440 overheating during use?

Overheating can be caused by a dirty air filter, incorrect fuel mixture, or insufficient lubrication. Ensure all components are clean and the fuel mixture is correct. Inspect the cooling fins for debris.

How do I safely store the Stihl TS 440 after use?

Clean the saw thoroughly, especially the air filter and blade. Empty the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer if storing for an extended period. Store in a dry, secure location away from direct sunlight.
