The Einhell GH-EC 2040 is a 2000W electric chainsaw with a 400mm bar, designed for sawing firewood, thinning scrub, and felling small trees in the garden or on site. Powered directly from a standard 240V UK mains socket, it delivers a cutting speed of 13.5 m/s with no engine maintenance, fuel mixing, or cold-start frustration. The high-quality metal gearing ensures reliable power transmission and long-term durability under regular use. Safety is well considered throughout. The kickback protection system incorporates an instant mechanical chain brake that stops the chain immediately if the saw kicks back unexpectedly. A chain catch bolt provides an additional safeguard should the chain leave the bar, while the robust metal claw stop improves handling stability and doubles as a pivot point when cutting horizontal logs. Maintenance is kept straightforward. The chain can be tensioned and changed without tools, and the automatic chain lubrication system features a large inspection window and wide filler opening with a quick-release fastener, making oil top-ups quick and easy.
