Product details

The GH-EC 2040 electric chainsaw is a compact and powerful tool that proves to be a reliable assistant when cutting firewood, clearing branches, and felling smaller trees. The quality bar and chain from Oregon ensure optimal cutting performance. The chain can be tensioned and replaced without tools. The high-quality, robust metal gearbox provides good power transmission and a long lifespan. The GH-EC 2040 is equipped with a kickback protection system featuring a mechanical instant chain brake, which stops the chain immediately in case of a kickback. The oil level in the automatic chain lubrication reservoir can be easily monitored thanks to a large viewing window. The large oil filling opening with quick-release allows for easy refilling of oil. A chain catch pin ensures safety in case the chain comes off. The sturdy metal claw stop provides secure guidance and serves as a pivot point when cutting lying logs. The power cable is protected by a cable strain relief.
