Maximum-safety

Maximum safety

For high safety, the kickback protection combined with an instant chain brake and a chain safety bolt.

High-quality-components

High-quality components

The high-quality saw blade and the robust saw chain ensure effortless sawing, perfect cutting results and long durability.

Safety-due-to-hand-protection

Safety due to hand protection

To protect against injury, the chain brake triggers when pressure is applied to the hand guard and stops the chain within a few milliseconds.

Solid-claw-stop

Solid claw stop

The claw stop allows the chain saw to be pressed against the wood when sawing and prevents uncontrolled kick-out.

Toolless-chain-tensioning

Toolless chain tensioning

The saw chain can be tensioned effortlessly and without additional tools by turning the chain tensioning screw for as long as necessary and then fixing it when the chain is ideally tensioned. The right chain tensioning is essential for perfect cutting results.

Automatic-chain-greasing

Automatic chain greasing

The chain is supplied with oil fully automatically from the 160 ml oil tank during use. Thanks to the sight glass, the level of the oil container always remains in view. This ensures maximum life cycle of the blade and the chain.
