Its 50.2cc engine delivers ample power, and the ergonomically designed handle provides comfort during prolonged use. The chainsaw's advanced starting system ensures easy ignition, even in challenging conditions.

The 351 is another versatile option, equipped with a 50cc engine, designed for both professional and home use. It emphasizes user comfort and ease of handling. The compact design combined with features such as an efficient air filtration system makes the 351 suitable for long hours of work.
