Partner K950-14 14-Inch 94cc Power Cutter

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

With the K950 Active, we have combined 40 years of experience with the latest advances, whilst always focusing on user ergonomics, safety and reliability. The result is a completely new power cutter with a slimmer, more manageable body and a highly efficient 94 cc engine.

Convenience and safety increase efficiency
Working with a Partner machine is more efficient and safer thanks to the ergonomic, balanced design with a sleek machine body, and the vibration isolated handle system with perfect handle spacing. The K950 is easy and comfortable to work with, which increases the productivity of both machine and operator.

Longer service intervals and less wear with Active Air Filtration
Cutting dust is the enemy of all petrol power cutters since it gets sucked into the engine and wears down piston, cylinder and bearings. Active Air Filtration, a combination of three separate filter systems, is one of the many Partner breakthroughs. The first active step separates the cutting dust from the intake air through centrifugal force. Remaining dust gets stuck in a second filter stage, made from a plastic foam filter, saturated with oil and having a large surface area. A third filter stage, made of pleated paper, provides additional reassurance that the intake air is free from dust. With Active Air Filtration, up to 90% of all the cutting dust is separated already in the maintenance free centrifugal stage.

Maintaining raw power longer increases efficiency and reduces service requirements
In order to assure optimum power output, Partner developed a carburetor with built-in filter compensation, SmartCarb. It maintains a constant air/fuel ratio. This maintains power output even as the filter becomes clogged. There is no need to adjust the carburetor manually. Together, Active Air Filtration and SmartCarb maintain high power output longer, reduce filter costs, lower fuel consumption, and reduce exhaust emissions.

Reduced starting cord resistance yields easy, smooth start
A high-compression engine makes you pull hard on the starter cord. With the EasyStart decompression valve, this problem is solved easily and effectively. When you want to start, you just press the button that opens the valve. The EasyStart valve reduces the compression in the cylinder during the start, which means less wear on the starter assembly. EasyStart reduces the force necessary to start the engine by 50%.

Sealed starter mechanism reduces wear on starter cord and starter device
The new starter mechanism is practically maintenance free due to a unique, patented design - Dura Starter - which encloses the return spring and pulley bearing. Several different seals prevent the cutting dust from reaching the vital parts of the starter mechanism. We have also installed an additional spring that prevents the pulley from vibrating - something that could draw in dust.

Dust and water proof transmission offers longer service interval with fewer interruptions
The K950 Active has an enclosed drive belt. This protects the transmission in the cutting arm from dust and moisture. Having an enclosed transmission means reduced wear, longer service intervals and fewer service interruptions.

New blade guard
To make cutting easier and more comfortable, Partner has developed a completely new blade guard with rubber bearings. A unique locking system makes it much easier to set the guard to the correct position during cutting.

Reverse cutting arm to allow easy cutting close to wall or ground
With the K950 Active, you can reverse the cutting arm. That makes it possible to cut close to a wall or the ground, limited only by the blade guard. Naturally, the excellent ergonomic properties of the machine are reduced somewhat, but for some jobs, the ability to reverse the arm makes all the difference.

Self-lubricating clutch bearings increase clutch life and keep dust away
The clutch bearing on the K950 Active is automatically lubricated by the engine's lubricating system. This is an old Partner specialty. A hole in the crank shaft feeds oil to the clutch bearing. The pressure that develops in the crankcase, and spreads to the clutch bearing, keeps the bearing free from dust particles - and that increases life.

This review is from: Partner K950-14 14-Inch 94cc Power Cutter (Tools & Home Improvement)

I've used other k-saw before, mostly for steel cutting. This saw has way to much power for anything over a 12 inch viber type blade. This animal can easly sit agains the rev limiter while in a deepest concrete cuts using a 14 inch segmented diamond blade. It's made real short work of my all projects.
