Oleo-Mac GS-411-3/8 Petrol Chainsaw (41cm Guide Bar with 3/8" Chain)

Characterised by its superior European build-quality, top-rated features and excellent handling, this high-performance petrol chainsaw from trusted Italian manufacturers, Oleo-Mac, is aimed at discerning home users looking to undertake a range of tasks around the garden, including lopping, pruning, small-tree felling and preparing firewood for the woodburner or hearth.

Fuel efficient and clean running, the engine that drives this powerful tool is a large-displacement, 39cc air-cooled two-stroke unit that develops a hefty 1.8hp, and which blends a two-ring piston with a die-cast nickel cylinder and a forged-steel crank/connector rod to ensure it excels when it comes to long-term reliability.

Starting is made fast and reliable - from hot or cold - thanks to Oleo-Mac's provision of a fuel primer and an electronically controlled digital coil.

The lightweight and rust resistant aluminium oil-pump on the Oleo-Mac GS-411 is automatic, and continuously delivers the correct flow of oil in order to keep things running smoothly at all times (oil flow is cut at idle to avoid mess and waste).

The Oleo-Mac GS-411 Pro Petrol Chainsaw has a mid-sized 40cm guide bar, which makes it ideal for tackling small to medium-diameter branches and logs.

Tool-free component access makes in-the-field maintenance a breeze; an ergonomically optimised handle - incorporating all the main functions - guarantees comfortable, controlled operation.

Further enhancing user comfort is the isolation of the engine from the body - this is achieved by the employment of three spring dampers and three rubber stops, which cushion juddering, and massively reduce the negative effect of vibration on the user's body.

This model's impressively lightweight design (just 4.2kg) combines with its perfect centre of gravity to ensure it remains easy to wield for the duration of the task.

An inertia-type chain brake is featured in order to protect the operator from kickback. It can also be manually engaged to allow safe position changing with the chain stopped and the engine still running.
