STIHL Rescue Saw – Trusted Forced-Entry Cutting Power for Emergency Response in Ireland

When access is blocked by security shutters, reinforced hall doors, or heavy commercial entrances, ordinary cutting tools simply don’t work. The STIHL Rescue Saw is purpose-built for forced entry, emergency access, and extreme cutting conditions, delivering power and reliability where seconds genuinely matter.

At A-Z Hire, we supply and support specialist STIHL equipment for professional users across Dublin. As a STIHL Authorised Dealer and Service Centre, we know exactly why this saw is chosen by frontline responders.

Trusted by Ireland’s Emergency Services

The STIHL Rescue Saw isn’t theoretical equipment — it’s field-proven.

It is trusted and used by:

  • Irish Fire Brigade

  • An Garda Síochána rapid response units

These organisations rely on the Rescue Saw because it delivers consistent results in unpredictable, high-risk environments, including forced entry into secured buildings and vehicles.

When professional emergency services trust a tool, it speaks volumes about its capability and reliability.

What Is the STIHL Rescue Saw?

The STIHL Rescue Saw is a high-powered professional petrol chainsaw designed specifically for:

  • Emergency and forced-entry operations

  • Cutting security shutters and reinforced doors

  • Structural access in commercial and public buildings

  • Technical rescue and controlled demolition work

Unlike standard forestry chainsaws, this machine is engineered for unknown, mixed, and contaminated materials.

Cuts Through Security Shutters & Reinforced Hall Doors

One of the Rescue Saw’s defining strengths is its ability to cut through materials that instantly destroy standard chainsaws, including:

  • Steel and aluminium security shutters

  • Reinforced timber hall doors

  • Fire doors and composite doors

  • Commercial entrance doors

  • Panels with hidden steel plates or fixings

This makes it ideal for forced entry scenarios, where gaining safe access quickly is critical.

Why It Works Where Other Saws Fail

Carbide-Tipped Rescue Chain

At the heart of the saw is a carbide-reinforced rescue chain:

  • Resists nails, screws, and steel fixings

  • Maintains cutting performance through layered materials

  • Lasts significantly longer in harsh environments

  • Reduces downtime caused by chain damage

Standard chains are designed for clean timber. The Rescue Saw is designed for real-world obstacles.

High-Torque Professional Engine

The powerful petrol engine delivers:

  • High torque for plunge and cross-cutting

  • Consistent output under heavy load

  • Fast cutting through dense or reinforced materials

This is essential when cutting security shutters or solid hall doors where hesitation costs time.

Built for Use Under Pressure

Every element of the STIHL Rescue Saw is engineered for demanding environments:

  • Oversized starter handle for gloved operation

  • Heavy-duty air filtration for dust and debris

  • Anti-vibration system to reduce operator fatigue

  • Excellent balance and control for precision forced-entry cuts

This is not a modified forestry saw — it is a dedicated rescue and access-cutting machine.

Typical Applications

The STIHL Rescue Saw is commonly used for:

  • Emergency services forced entry

  • Garda rapid access operations

  • Secured commercial premises

  • Roller shutter entry

  • Industrial and public buildings

  • Professional access and demolition work

If the structure is secured and the materials are unknown, this is the correct tool.
