Built for Fire Services, Emergency Response & Rescue Operations

From structural collapse rescue and vehicle extrication to disaster clearing and emergency access cutting, the K 970 Rescue is engineered for the speed, reliability, and control that rescue professionals demand in critical situations. Its reversible cutting arm cuts flush to walls and the ground for tight-access rescue cuts, while the SmartTension™ belt system and Active Air Filtration™ keep the machine performing through extended rescue operations with minimal maintenance downtime.

Rescue-Specific Design – Heavy-Glove Starter, Carry Strap & High-Visibility Guard

The K 970 Rescue is built around the realities of emergency response. The specially designed starter handle provides room for heavy rescue gloves — ensuring reliable starts under pressure without removing PPE. The enhanced adjustable carry strap with larger carabiners lets operators run, walk, and climb with the machine secured to their body for rapid deployment. The lightweight magnesium blade guard features reflective decals for high visibility in smoke, water spray, and low-light rescue conditions.

6.5 HP Engine & SmartTension™ – Maximum Power, Consistent Performance

The K 970 Rescue's 6.5 hp 2-stroke engine with digital ignition, air purge, and decompression valve delivers reliable starts and consistent cutting power through the toughest rescue materials. The SmartTension™ semi-automatic belt tensioning system eliminates under- and over-tensioning — maintaining maximum power transmission and belt life through extended rescue operations without manual adjustment.

DuraStarter™, Active Air Filtration™ & Anti-Vibration – Reliability When It Counts

The DuraStarter™ maintenance-free starter and Active Air Filtration™ two-step system extend service intervals and protect the engine from concrete and debris contamination — keeping the K 970 Rescue ready for the next call. The anti-vibration system with wide handle spacing and short engine body reduces operator fatigue and keeps the operator close to the machine for maximum control during demanding rescue cuts.
