Husqvarna unveiled the new PRIME product line at World of Concrete Show in January. The PRIME family of tools is designed as high performance electric cutting equipment. At the core of the engineering concept, and to create the acronym “PRIME”, is the concept to make these tools Powerful, Revolutionary, Intelligent, Modular, and Electric. Husqvarna certainly has an interesting concept with the design of the power supply in this family by keeping it separate from the vibrating motor and giving it the ability to run as 3-phase or 1-phase. Most of these products will not be available until the second quarter and while I don’t have the time and space to give as much detail into introducing these tools as much as I’d like, here’s a brief overview of what to be on the lookout for in the next couple of months.

The main draws of the 6500 K includes a built in intelligence system that optimizes power and efficiency on cuts, an adjustable water flow control for wet cutting, an LED load indicator to warn the user against motor overload, and the PP65 fuel source that is separate from the tool.

Husqvarna FS 7000 D and 5000 D
The 7000 D and 5000 D flat saw models from Husqvarna pack a big punch for those small to mid size jobs that meet the both US and European standards for emission.
