# Husqvarna Power Cutter
Husqvarna Construction Products
Olathe, Kan.
Husqvarna's K1260 power cutter follows in the footsteps of the K760 and K970 power cutters. Its 7.8-hp engine produces more output, and the built-in automatic filter compensation unit, SmartCarb, helps maintain high power and lowers fuel consumption. The Active Air Filtration system is one of the market's most efficient air filtration systems. It delivers operational times (dry cutting) of about one year without filter service required. The Poly V-belt provides better power transmission, less retensioning and increased product life. The DEX, dust-handling system, provides cleaner cutting with less water usage.
