Ready when you are, the Stihl TS480i promises high cutting performance.
If your business requires a high-quality disc cutter that produces powerful torque and runs flawlessly and smoothly – then the TS 480i is a perfect choice.
Since its introduction, the construction industry has confirmed this cut-off saw as the leading option, all thanks to its fuel injection technology. It doesn’t matter what demand this Stihl machine put through, whether that’s a concrete slab or asphalt, this petrol disc cutter will not fail to meet the task.
Additionally, although a 72.2cc petrol engine powers it, the electronically controlled fuel/air mixture also reduces fuel consumption by 20% compared to standard petrol models. This 2-stroke models engine design, with its emission-reducing technology, also produces less carbon. Combining the two fuel-saving systems also helps the TS480i be lighter in weight and deliver more power.
Easy to use and operate.
A vital feature of all Stihl products is their user-friendliness. This TS480i disc cutter certainly fits that mould. As with most Stihl petrol machines, this model features the famous ElastoStart system, making it easier to start by reducing compression shocks.
What’s more, this Stihl cut off saw has an anti-vibration system, reducing the damage caused by the machines shaking to the hands and arms over long-term use.
Another fantastic Stihl design is the loop handle which makes the TS 480 i easy to manoeuvre and control the cut with total comfort at an optimum working position.
Weighing around 10 kilograms, it’s lightweight too, so you can move this Stihl cut off saw around with ease.
Built to last and continue performing.
Stihl only uses the best components to keep your TS 480 i in a serviceable condition for years to come. For example, the air filter is of a long life design with pre-separation quality. This filtration system ensures only the cleanest of air is goes into the ignition chambers whilst removing dirt and debris.
Moreover, the drive belt tensioning is semi-automatic, consistently re-tensioning the belt to increase the service life of shaft bearing and the belt itself.
Even the cutting wheel’s guard is of rugged magnesium, further increasing the life and reducing weight. In fact, the TS 480i’s guard and water attachment design are very well suited for the working environment.
Plenty of attachments to get the cutting job done efficiently
Should you need support for your TS480i disc cutter, a mobile frame to fit this cut off saw is available – the FW 20 cart.

Additionally, there is a purposeful water delivery system, Again, electronically controlled via simplistic buttons. The flow of water is synced to the disc cutter’s engine speed to reduce user input. Should you need to intervene, there are plus/minus buttons to adjust the water volume, ensuring complete control over dust suppression.
Getting the correct saw blade for the TS480i is not an issue; although supplied with an abrasive cutting wheel, you can buy a range of Stihl manufactured composite resin or diamond cutting wheels for the job at hand.

A fantastic Stihl disc cutter, the fuel injection version of the TS480i really does outperform my TS410, and I’m noticing far less lag in power. It’s very torquey, which makes it ideal for cutting jobs once you get going. If it wasn’t for the lightness and handle design, this would be quite hard to control. Fortunately, it’s well balance and I can use it without the cart with extreme control.

I’ve run the same ts400 for 15 years daily with very little repairs but obviously now coming to the end off it’s life. So I invest in the all singing & dancing TS480i WHAT A MISTAKE ! After 3 weeks it breaks down so off the warranty repairer, comes back after a week and says you’ve been cutting steel and the metal filings have entered the generator. I thought these saws was designed to cut steel. Any masonry blade in to cut block, the saw breaks down again, off to repairer again this time was told the saw is to complicated to fix and must be returned to stihl, off it goes. After 2 weeks the saw needed a new control unit at no cost through warranty but would have cost £160 for the part plus labour & shipping charge. Moral of the story is don’t buy these saws, only stihl has the specialist equipment to fix them at a very expensive cost. Wires everywhere with to much to break. Worst saw ever.

Good quality disc cutter, a shame about the national shortage though as had to wait for my machine to be delivered. Would a 5/5 stars, but Stihl lose a star for the delays.

I’ve popped to mowers2go to get my TS 480i serviced, and it’s been a loyal friend for me. Starts well, keeps going and has been up to the task. I may need a second disc cutter to keep up with work demand, but I would be lost without this saw. Thank you Mowers2Go for helping me.
