The Partner K-12 Fire-Rescue Saw continues the legacy that began in 1958, when Partner introduced the world’s first dedicated rescue saw for firefighters. The new K-12 FD (970) is engineered exclusively for the fire service, combining unmatched power, balance, and reliability for the toughest fireground and rescue conditions.

Delivering 6.1 horsepower while weighing only 23 pounds, the K-12 FD offers one of the best power-to-weight ratios in the industry. Equipped with a 14-inch blade, this saw cuts through virtually any material encountered during firefighting or rescue operations. From roof ventilation to forcible entry, extrication, and heavy-rescue scenarios, the K-12 FD answers the call on every scene.

Built with firefighters in mind, it features a chrome blade guard for durability and visibility, an adjustable sling assembly for hands-free carry, and a large D-handle starter designed for easy use with gloves. The decompression valve cuts starting effort by 50%, while the active three-stage air filtration system protects the engine from soot and debris. A Ready-Start momentary stop switch simplifies operation and automatically resets for the next start.

With a 12-inch carbide blade (12- or 24-tip) the saw achieves a cutting depth of about 3 inches, while a 14-inch 30-tip carbide blade reaches up to 5 inches.

The K-12 Fire-Rescue Saw is trusted worldwide for its performance in ventilation, forcible entry, extrication, and heavy-rescue applications — delivering legendary reliability and cutting power for today’s fire service professionals.
