PACE Battery System
The Husqvarna K1 is powered by the specially developed PACE (Powerful Agile Cordless Electric) high-capacity, high-power 94V battery system and complimentary range of fast chargers. When used in combination with one of the custom-engineered Husqvarna blades specially developed for use with the K1, they produce optimal cutting performance and finally provide users with a viable transition from conventional petrol to battery powered cutters without compromise.

The same PACE battery system technology developed in-house by Husqvarna will also be used to power a range of other Husqvarna heavy-duty battery powered equipment in development, which too will be designed for demanding conditions and tough site use.

PACE battery technology not only has an obvious appeal for users eager to reduce their carbon footprint, who strive for a carbon-neutral workplace, seek greater sustainability, use other products wherever viable with zero direct emissions, lower their associated operating costs, provide them with the ability to work almost anywhere without sacrificing product quality, performance and safety.

With the PACE battery system, users get the benefit of high-power, fast charging, exceptionally low operating costs, almost zero maintenance with dependable and reliable performance.

When considering the cutting performance of the K1 it is worth remembering that it only consumes power when its trigger is depressed and the saw being actually used, as opposed to petrol saws which are often left to idle between cuts and actually used to cut for significantly shorter periods. This means conversely the petrol saw is consuming fuel and costing money to run, albeit without actually being used. Consider the difference? Consider the potential savings?

Choice of two custom high-power battery chargers equipped with fast charging mode and active cooling to suit both budget and desired charge times.

The maximum depth of cut achievable with a traditional petrol disc cutter is approx. 100mm with a 12″ saw and 125mm with a 14″ model. The cutting capacity of the K1 has been optimised, enabling the 12″ model to cut up to 121mm (almost equivalent to that of a 14” petrol saw) and the 14″ K1 up to 145mm (the same as that of a 16” petrol saw).

High safety and brilliantly quiet
The Husqvarna K1 is equipped with Husqvarna’s new X-Halt® braking system which is designed to bring the blade to a stop almost immediately. This reduces potential hazards alongside the additional benefits from not needing to use oil and petrol, exposure to hazardous exhaust fumes, refuelling etc. Just remove the battery and your power cutter is completely disabled. When you want to next use it, pop in the battery, press the on button and then depress the trigger – it really is that quick and simple.

Another obvious advantage of battery powered equipment is their substantially reduced noise. An efficient electric motor has fewer moving parts too, further reducing the amount of mechanical noise produced too. A specially developed range of custom engineered blades have been designed for use with the K1, which feature noise-reduced steel cores to further significantly reduce operating noise levels. This range of blades has also been designed to compliment the technical characteristics specifically of the K1 and enhance its cutting performance.

As the K1 has fewer mechanical and moving parts it produces less vibrations making it more comfortable to use and enabling it to be used safely for longer periods of time.

You’re in safe hands and with Built-in Connectivity
The K1 has a centred blade placement for increased stability and control. Its ergonomic handles have been specially developed to be comfortable and further increase control for extra safety while cutting. As the quiet operating K1 does not exhaust hazardous fumes unlike petrol powered saws, it is ideal for indoor use as well as in confined and poorly ventilated areas. It is also equally at homes outdoors and is ideal for use in urban and other noise sensitive areas too.

The built-in connectivity of the K1 enables you to stay on top of runtimes, product location, service status and much, much more, giving you even greater control of your saw. Thanks to embedded connectivity, you also have easier access to software updates for both saws and batteries.

The in-house Husqvarna developed, advanced brushless motor of the K1 is 25% more efficient than a standard brush motor, providing higher and more consistent torque.

The Husqvarna K1 Rescue Saw has been specially developed for use by emergency services and features a decreased weight magnesium blade guard with reflective decals for high visibility in smoke and water spray for enhanced operator control of the cutter, together with a convenient carry strap which allows users to run, walk and climb smoothly with the machine in urgent situations.
