Bosch AKE 40 S 0600834600

Security at the highest level

The chain saw from the German manufacturer has a good build quality, which affects the durability in operation and, accordingly, saves the user money. The device has several factors of protection against injury: a chain brake that stops its movement in 0.1 seconds when it hits a metal object or knot; a folding brake that blocks the movement of the tyre during a kickback; a metal catcher that catches the chain when it breaks (extremely rare), thereby protecting the operator. The chain speed here is 9 m / s — this is a lower indicator than that of models of similar power (on average 12 – 13 m / s), therefore, with other equal indicators (tyre size and quality of teeth sharpening), it will cut logs somewhat slower.

Ease of use

Sawing comfort has always been a priority for Bosch, and this model is no exception. The SDS (quick chain tensioning) system allows you to change or tighten the chain without screwdrivers and wrenches. The body is made of durable plastic with additional rubber pads on the handle so that the saw does not slip in your hands. True, the engine is located transversely here, which somewhat affects the convenience when making oblique cuts while trimming branches. It is worth noting the small weight of the device, so that the hands get tired less.
