This versatile chainsaw is designed for a range of tasks, from light-duty pruning to more demanding woodcutting jobs.

This feature automatically stops the chain in the event of kickback, providing additional peace of mind to the user. The front hand guard and ergonomic handle design also enhance user control, contributing to a safer and more comfortable cutting experience.
