The Einhell GH-EC 2040 Electric Chainsaw is a handy, efficient, and reliable tool for sawing firewood, thinning out scrub, and cutting down small trees. It features a robust rail and chain for optimum cutting performance. The chain can be tensioned and changed without tools. For good power transmission and a long service life, it has high-quality, robust metal gearing. The kickback protection facility with an instant mechanical chain brake stops the chain immediately if the saw rears up suddenly. A large window allows easy monitoring of the oil level in the automatic chain lubrication system, and a large filler opening facilitates easy oil refilling. A chain catch bolt ensures safety in the event of the chain coming off the rail. A robust claw stop made of metal ensures safe handling and serves as a pivot point when sawing horizontal trunks. A stress-relief clip protects the power cable. The chainsaw boasts a cutting length of 37.5 cm and a sword length of 40.6 cm. It has automatic chain lubrication, tool-less chain tensioning and changing, and kickback protection with a mechanical instant chain brake. It also features cable strain relief and a 10m cable length.
