The STIHL TSA 500 is a powerful battery-powered cut-off machine designed for professional use in landscaping, construction, rescue work, and fire services. Running on two AP 500 S batteries, it delivers strong, versatile cutting performance on materials like steel, concrete, brick, and natural stone—indoors or outdoors thanks to its emission‑free operation.

Its high‑efficiency EC motor runs quietly with low vibration and minimal wear, while an electronic control system maintains consistent power throughout the battery cycle. A built‑in magnetic filter protects the motor from metal dust, ensuring long service life and easy cleaning when used frequently on steel.

The TSA 500 is easy to operate with an ergonomic control handle, digital interface, ADVANCE PLUS module with integrated STIHL Smart Connector, and a clear LED display. Rigid, ergonomic handles provide precise control. It supports 14" cutting wheels for up to 5" cutting depth, with various wheel options available depending on the application.

A runout brake with energy recuperation stops the wheel within seconds and feeds energy back into the battery. The standard water connection effectively reduces dust, and the adjustable magnesium guard with integrated water guide improves visibility and protection.
