The Stihl TSA 500 cordless cut-off saw delivers serious cutting power without the noise or emissions of petrol. Running on two AP 500 S batteries, it easily handles concrete, steel, brick, and natural stone — even indoors where exhaust fumes aren’t allowed.
With its ADVANCE Plus digital control, coasting brake, and integrated water feed, the TSA 500 gives trade users the same precision and balance as a petrol saw, with less strain and virtually no maintenance. Available now from Suffolk Mowers with full aftersales support, batteries, and chargers.
What the Stihl TSA 500 Is Best Known For
The Stihl TSA 500 is a professional 350 mm cordless cut-off saw built for trade users who need petrol-level performance without fumes or noise. With up to 4.2 kW of mechanical output and constant electronic power control, it cuts confidently through concrete, steel, brick, and stone — quietly, cleanly, and with minimal maintenance.
This saw runs on two AP 500 S batteries from the STIHL AP system, delivering dependable runtime for heavy cutting work. Its balanced twin-battery design keeps handling steady, while the magnetic motor filter and EC motor reduce servicing needs. In real use, expect around 226 cuts through 14 mm rebar or more than 40 slab cuts per charge, depending on the material and blade type.
Who the TSA500 Is Designed For
- Landscapers and builders cutting slabs, kerbs, bricks, or blockwork on-site.
- Steelworkers and fitters handling structural steel and rebar in controlled environments.
- Emergency and rescue crews who need a dependable, low-maintenance saw for confined or fume-sensitive spaces.
- Maintenance teams in schools, factories, and hospitals seeking an indoor-safe, low-noise option.
Real Strengths in Daily Use
Power and Control
The TSA500 maintains constant torque thanks to STIHL’s intelligent electronics. POWER BOOST mode automatically delivers peak output when required, keeping cuts consistent across materials. A mechanical brake stops the 350 mm wheel in under four seconds, reducing downtime and improving safety on-site.
Dust and Debris Control
The integrated water connection feeds directly to the cutting disc, binding dust at the source and cooling the cut to extend disc life. When paired with suitable diamond or abrasive wheels, the TSA 500 keeps visibility clear and surfaces cleaner — ideal for both indoor and outdoor work.
Durability and Comfort
Every part of the Stihl TSA 500 is built for tough daily use. The magnesium guard channels debris and water efficiently. The EC motor runs cool and wear-free, while the semi-automatic belt tensioner keeps the drive system correctly aligned. With vibration levels as low as 2.0–2.4 m/s², it’s easier on hands and arms over long shifts.
Connectivity and Ease of Use
The ADVANCE Plus digital control handle places key functions at your fingertips — LED status, HMI display, and built-in Smart Connector for fleet tracking. Rated IPX4, the TSA 500 works confidently in British site conditions all year round.
