SWING SAW

Swing circular saw with gasoline engine for firewood production

Swing circular saws are machines with which longer logs can be cut into fireplace-suitable pieces before or after splitting. Such saws are usually powered by a tractor PTO shaft, have a small gasoline engine, or are electrically powered (400V).
Powering via the tractor means significantly higher fuel consumption due to the large engine, and the electric motor version means the wood must be transported to the saw because it relies on a high-voltage power connection.
In this context, a saw with a small gasoline engine appears to be the best compromise. Mobile usability with economical consumption.

How do I choose the right saw for me?

Weigh the advantages and disadvantages of the three relevant drive systems and check which working method is efficient and best suits your goals.

Is a saw with a gasoline engine sensible? 

• Location independence: You save the tedious loading and transporting of long logs. This saves time and protects your back.

• Efficiency: A modern 4-stroke gasoline engine (often with 13–15 HP) consumes significantly less under load than a tractor engine at idle or low speed.

• Resale value: Machines that are not dependent on a tractor appeal to a much larger target group (including garden owners without agricultural vehicles).

Why a saw with a gasoline engine?

The "Best of both Worlds" factor

Your advantages in detail

• Independent of the power grid: Saw directly at the forest edge or in the meadow. No "cable clutter" and no risk of voltage drops with long cables.

• Economical powerhouse: The powerful 4-stroke engine delivers exactly the energy the 700mm carbide saw blade needs. A tractor at idle consumes significantly more fuel per operating hour in comparison.

• Compact & transportable: Thanks to the stable chassis and compact design, the saw can be easily transported to the site by car trailer or van.

• Safety according to the latest standard: All Victory saws comply with the current safety standard EN 1870-6, including enclosed protective devices and ergonomic swing.

Pro tip: Use the time savings! Since you cut the wood directly in the forest to stove length (25cm / 33cm), much more wood fits on your trailer than with whole logs. This saves trips!

The powerful Victory WS-715 swing circular saw with gasoline engine is indispensable for professional firewood processing.

The powerful 15 HP 420 cc gasoline engine ensures that you can use the swing saw anywhere, even if there is no high-voltage connection nearby.
A swing saw is a special circular saw for cutting firewood.
The saw blade arranged at a right angle to the V- or U-shaped swing rotates inside a protective device. On the right side, there is a slot into which the saw blade dips. The swing is mounted at the lower part of the frame and must be guided with slight pressure against the saw blade.

The protective device of the blade opens and closes in parallel with the swinging motion of the swing circular saw. The wood pieces or logs are placed on the left side of the swing, cut accordingly, and fall down on the right side.
To prevent the swing from staying on the saw blade independently, a spring pulls the swing back to its original starting position after the operator releases it.
Older swing saws lacked blade coverage. The saw blade was freely accessible. Such a swing circular saw should no longer be used due to the great danger of unintentionally coming into contact with the freely running saw blade, or should be retrofitted with an approved protective device.
An electric motor is often used as the drive source of a swing circular saw when a saw blade of max. 500 mm diameter is sufficient for your application. For such "DIY swing saws," a 230-V motor is sufficient.

Proper use of swing circular saw - tips

• Wear protective clothing: Always use gloves, safety glasses, and hearing protection to prevent injuries.
• Set up swing circular saw stably: Place the device on a level, stable surface so it cannot tip over during operation.
• Proper maintenance: Regularly check blades, moving parts, screw connections, and covers to ensure everything works safely and smoothly.
• Manufacturer instructions: Always follow the operating manual, especially regarding maximum branch thickness and permissible material!

For semi-professional and professional use, exclusively 400-V three-phase motors are used, which either drive the circular saw shaft directly or via V-belts. However, since a high-voltage connection is not always nearby, a model with PTO drive is sensible for using a swing circular saw, e.g., in the forest, provided a tractor is available, or a drive via a completely independent gasoline engine, as with the Victory WS-715 swing circular saw, complemented by a foldable support.

This also makes transporting the circular saw possible in rough terrain, e.g., with a quad/ATV, thanks to the large wheels. With an agricultural towing vehicle, you can tow the swing saw at 25 km/h on public roads, provided you add lighting equipment.Ball hitch coupling. The standard equipment of the swing circular saw includes an adjustable
