GKE 18V-40 Professional: Further information

Product Highlights

For all your on-site carpentry and outdoor gardening needs, the cordless chainsaw GKE 18V-40 Professional is the perfect solution. Its powerful brushless motor delivers strong performance with low noise levels that allow you to work in noise-sensitive areas like residential areas or company sites – all without emitting exhaust fumes. Its electronic motor brake stops the chain quickly after the trigger is released. OptiCut adjusts speed and torque to the respective work situation, avoiding nuisance stalling under higher workloads. The combination of the brushless motor and OptiCut delivers high performance and continuous cutting all in one product.

Equipment & Application

The 40 cm bar allows continuous cutting through beams, timber, and thick branches, making it the perfect tool for a wide range of jobs. This is a chainsaw that starts hassle free, has low maintenance, and a long service life. Compatible with the Bosch Professional 18V System and with the multi-brand battery alliance AMPShare.

Additional Information

The scrench is stored directly on the chainsaw and therefore is always ready at hand for easy chain fastening and maintenance. It has a leakage-free, translucent oil tank for easy oil level checks. Metal bumper spikes increase control and precision when cutting.
