More Power. Deeper Cuts. Built for the Toughest Job Sites.

K 970 14" Gas Power Cutter - 967 34 80-01

K 970 16" Gas Power Cutter - 967 34 81-01

The Husqvarna K 970 is the ultimate all-round gas power cutter for contractors who demand more — more power, deeper cuts, and uncompromising reliability in the harshest conditions. With a 6.5 hp engine and up to 6 inches of cutting depth (16" blade), the K 970 is engineered for heavy-duty concrete cutting, asphalt roadwork, and demanding masonry applications where the K 770 isn’t enough.

Available in 14" and 16" blade configurations. Less sensitive to climate and fuel variations than competitive cutters — it performs when conditions aren’t ideal. Blade not included. Available separately.

Estimated Shipping: 2–5 business days depending on availability.

The Go-To Power Cutter for Road Work, Concrete & Masonry Contractors

From deep asphalt cuts and cable burial to curbstones, cast concrete, and rescue operations, the K 970 handles the full spectrum of contractor applications. KV 970 trolley compatible for straight and curved track cutting on road jobs — so your crew can focus entirely on the cut, not the machine.

6.5 HP Engine – Engineered for Tough Conditions & Fuel Variations

The K 970’s cylinder design and muffler with integrated heat deflector make it less sensitive to outdoor conditions and fuel quality variations than standard power cutters. Whether you’re cutting in extreme heat, cold, or with variable fuel sources, the K 970 starts reliably and delivers consistent power through the cut.

Up to 6" Cutting Depth – Fewer Passes, Faster Completion

The 16" configuration delivers a 6-inch maximum cutting depth — handling thick concrete slabs, deep asphalt, and heavy masonry in a single pass where other cutters require multiple. The 14" delivers 5 inches of depth for standard roadwork and masonry applications. Both run at 18,000 fpm peripheral speed for clean, fast cuts.

Anti-Vibration System & SmartTension™ – Operator Comfort at Full Power

The K 970’s anti-vibration system and wide handle spacing reduce strain during extended cutting sessions, keeping operators comfortable and in control. The semi-automatic SmartTension™ belt system maintains optimal tension automatically — maximizing power transfer and belt life without manual adjustment.
