Designed for felling, limbing, and bucking small to mid-sized trees, this professional-grade chainsaw delivers class-leading cutting capacity, advanced engine technology, and outstanding durability for tough, all-day workloads.

Key Features & Benefits

Advanced Cooling System for Longer Engine Life

The optimised cooling design ensures dependable operation in demanding conditions, protecting the engine during continuous, high-RPM professional use.

High-Visibility, Long-Lasting Felling Sight

Built to outlast the saw itself, the durable felling sight supports precision cutting, improving accuracy for professional tree felling.

Retained Bar Nuts

Prevents bar nuts from loosening or disappearing during maintenance—ideal for forestry and field environments.

LowVib® Anti-Vibration Technology

Specially designed dampeners significantly reduce vibration, minimising fatigue and protecting arms and hands during long working hours.

Slim, Ergonomic Chainsaw Body

A streamlined, slender design enhances balance and control, making the saw easier to handle during limbing, bucking, or working in tight spaces.

Air Injection™ – Extended Filter Life

The centrifugal air-cleaning system removes debris before it reaches the filter, resulting in reduced wear and longer operating time between air filter cleanings.

Flip-Up Tank Caps

Secure, easy-to-open tank caps ensure quick refuelling—even with winter gloves—making this an excellent chainsaw for all-season work.

Quick-Release Air Filter

Fast access to the air filter enables quick cleaning and minimal downtime on job sites.

Durable Magnesium Crankcase

Built to withstand high RPMs, heavy loads, and tough professional use—ensuring long-term durability.

Retained Starter Screws

Prevents loss of starter screws during servicing.

Snap-Lock Cylinder Cover

Allows fast, tool-free access to the spark plug and internal components.

AutoTune™ Automatic Engine Setting

Provides optimal engine performance by adjusting automatically to fuel quality, temperature, altitude, humidity, and air-filter condition—no carburettor tuning required.

X-Torq® Engine Technology

Reduces fuel consumption and emissions while maintaining high torque and excellent cutting performance. Compliant with global environmental standards.

Visible Fuel Level

Transparent fuel indicator makes monitoring fuel quick and easy.

Forged Three-Piece Crankshaft

Designed for maximum strength and durability in even the most extreme cutting conditions.

Side-Mounted Chain Tensioner

Allows fast, simple chain adjustments for improved efficiency in the field.

Adjustable Oil Pump

Customise chain lubrication to suit weather, wood type, and cutting conditions.
