The different Einhell chainsaws

Cordless chainsaws

Environmentally friendly, quiet and powerful — that's Einhell cordless chainsaws. No reliance on petrol or tripping over annoying cables, you can work unhindered with a cordless chainsaw. Compared to a petrol chainsaw, the cordless model is not only quieter, but also low maintenance and environmentally friendly, because it has no exhaust fumes. Besides the 18-volt models there are also more powerful 36-volt models that compete with the petrol varieties in terms of technical performance. Insert the right Einhell Power X-Change lithium ion battery, put chain oil in the tank and away you go. All cordless chainsaws are equipped with a tool-free chain tensioning and changing system to ensure optimum tension and fast and efficient work. So you saw safely and there is very little wear on the chain.

Electric chainsaws

If you are going to be working for a long time with the motor saw, you can pick up an electric chainsaw. The powerful motor of the electric chainsaw provides more than 1,800 watts of continuous power to carry out demanding sawing work powerfully and permanently. With chain speeeds of around 15 metres per second you also achieve very good cutting results with the electric chainsaw. The cable strain relief also prevents the cable being damaged and ensures it isn't accidentally pulled out of the socket.

Petrol chainsaws

You can work with a petrol chainsaw without a cable connection or charging time. The powerful motor on a petrol chainsaw is impressive, with higher constant power. You can cut through very thick branches, tree trunks and very hard wood effortlessly. Depending on the model, the petrol chainsaw can also achieve very high cutting performance with a chain speed of more than 20 metres per second. The digital ignition by auto-choke and primer also enables the engine to be started easily and the engine to run smoothly.

Pole pruners

Want to cut down high branches? You can do this quite well without wobbly ladders with Einhell pole pruners. They reliably cut off even thick branches with the help of a small chainsaw at the end of a telescopic shaft. You're working with a shorter cutting length, but a longer reach. The telescopic chainsaw is available with different drive types or as a mult-function tool. You can work cordlessly with the Power X-Change cordless pole pruner, the PXC cordless multi-function tool or the petrol multi-function tool. Power socket not a problem? Then you can also pick up the electirc pole pruner.

The cordless pruning saw is perfectl for cutting branches from trees and shrubs within arm's reach. So it's the perfect tool for daily work in the garden. The cordless pruning saw cuts branches up to 90 mm thick with a saw blade that moves linearly backwards and forwards. So it works on a different principle to the classic chainsaws, which act with a saw bar and chain. An integrated branch bracket also helps to saw more precisely by hooking the saw onto the branch and making it easier to pull towards. Depending on which Power X-Change battery the pruning saw is used with, the light and handy device is also suitable for more complex tree cuts.

What to look out for when buying a chain saw

The cordless chainsaw, electric chainsaw and petrol chainsaw all have certain functions and key data that you can look out for. We'll explain to you which features can help with your projects and how you can make the decision between the different Einhell models easier.

Chain and blade quality

To ensure that you enjoy your chainsaw for a long time, you should make sure that the blade and chain are of high quality. Automatic chain lubrication ensures that the chain is continuously supplied with oil, without the need for manual oiling. This reduces the friction between the chain and the rail and increases its useful life through less wear. The tool-free chain tensioning ensures perfect cutting results, as the chain can be optimally tensioned effortlessly and quickly.

Sufficient power

An indication of a chainsaw's performance is how well it cuts. The maximum chain speed is an indicator of cutting performance. With the cordless chainsaw, the type of motor (brushless or brush) is also decisive for performance. In addition, the cubic capacity of petrol devices and the wattage of electric models provide you information on how much power the chainsaw generates. The more challenging the job, the harder and thicker the wood, the more power and cutting performance your chainsaw should have. To work for longer without breaks we also recommend you ensure you have a large oil tank with at least 100 ml capacity.

Optimal handling

To hold the motor saw flexibly, to be able to set it in all positions and saw horizontally as well as vertically, the front grip should be designed either around the device or as a felling handle. In addition, our petrol chainsaws have an anti-vibration handle that mutes the vibration of the motor, which enables low-fatigue working. A solid claw stop is also important for exerting better pressure on the piece of wood and guiding the chainsaw the length of the wood.

Important safety features

So you don't injure yourself on the chain, it should be fitted with certain safety features. Kickback protection with an instant chain brake which will immediately stop the chain in the event of an accident. If the chain breaks, a chain lock bolt is very important. The bolt is located on the underside of the housing and reduces the risk of the chain hitting you under the motor block and injuring you.
