Stihl TS 480i TS 500i Specification

The Stihl TS 480i and TS 500i are advanced cut-off machines designed for precision and efficiency in demanding construction environments. Both models are engineered with innovative features that enhance performance and user convenience. Central to their design is the electronically controlled fuel injection system, which optimizes fuel delivery for improved power output and efficient fuel consumption, eliminating the need for a manual carburetor adjustment. This results in a cleaner, more reliable start-up and consistent operation even under varying conditions.

The TS 480i features a robust engine with a displacement of 72.2 cc, generating impressive cutting power for a range of materials, while the TS 500i offers a slightly larger engine displacement of 72.2 cc for enhanced cutting capacity. Both machines are equipped with a high-performance air filtration system, ensuring a long service life by protecting the engine from dust and debris. The ergonomic design of the machines includes an anti-vibration system that minimizes operator fatigue, allowing for extended periods of use with greater comfort.

Additionally, these models are compatible with both 12-inch and 14-inch abrasive wheels, providing versatility for different cutting tasks. The intelligent water control system facilitates dust suppression by adjusting the water flow based on the cutting requirements, further enhancing the safety and efficiency of the operation. Weighing approximately 10 kg (TS 480i) and 10.2 kg (TS 500i), these machines are portable and easy to maneuver, making them suitable for a wide range of professional applications. Combining durability, advanced technology, and user-friendly features, the Stihl TS 480i and TS 500i are ideal tools for construction professionals seeking reliable and powerful cut-off machines.
