Lithium powered battery Greenworks G-MAX 40v 30cm cordless chainsaw

This cordless Greenworks G-MAX chainsaw puts the power of petrol in your hands without cables or starting-hassle to hold you back. It's ready to cut logs for your woodburner and to take-on light tree maintenance without choking fumes, constant breaks for refuelling, and persistent maintenance-issues.

With a solid build and quality features throughout, this chainsaw feels both rugged and safe in your hands. The simple power-up-and-go action takes away the sometimes alarming roar of the petrol saw and replaces it with an ear-friendly hum; while the lower vibrations produced by battery-power ensures long periods of low-fatigue use.

This model is driven by a powerful industry-leading G-MAX 40v lithium-ion battery for longer running-times; much shorter charging-time; full power throughout the cycle; and no loss of power between sessions*. So you can make logs, put the machine away and be sure it will work again straight away when you pick it up, even after months.

Charge fully every time and you'll get up to 2000 cycles from this battery - years of work even if used everyday. But that doesn't mean you can’t top-up the charge - even if you charge a just little to finish a job or to carry-out a swift task, the battery has no memory so there will be no ill effect.

Oleo-Mac GS-370 professional petrol chainsaw

Up-to-the-minute ‘Burn Right’ technology means this chainsaw complies with Euro 2 emission-standards and is amongst the most eco-friendly and clean-running petrol models you can buy.

Added to this, a host of features and functions are included to simplify operation and maintenance for the inexperienced but serious domestic-user. Oleo-Mac are Italy’s leading brand in this field and they've included innovations such as an automatic oil-pump for a super-smooth cut and impressive long-term durability. Both oil- and fuel-tanks are transparent so you can check and top-up easily (the oil-tank has a capacity of 0.22-litres and the fuel-tank is 0.32-litres.

Harmful vibrations are massively reduced by the use of rubber stops and damper-springs that isolate the engine from the body of the saw. The carburettor also has its own anti-vibration system, which extends its working life.

Cut logs safely with this integral saw horse and sliding safety cover

Let's face it, even professionals can have accidents.

Chainsaws can be dangerous in the wrong hands. If you you have no experience then it's advisable to steer clear of chainsaws completely. It only needs the blade to jump or to get a kick-back and there's going to be a very nasty accident.

That's why I like this new breed of saw bench.

Reduce your home heating bills by burning logs

Firewood is very much in favour now as high energy prices continue to make heating the home so much more expensive.

I have noted that so many queries on the site are for people searching for solutions to their firewood needs.

Chainsaws, log splitters, log splitting mauls and axes are really hot and I think that people are coming to realise that there is an alternative to oil and gas.
