New to the Professional 18V System: Powerful cordless chainsaw from Bosch for pr ...

Following its cordless lawnmower, Bosch is now expanding the Professional 18V System outdoor equipment segment to include another powerful Biturbo tool: the GKE 18V-40 Professional cordless chainsaw. The lack of a cord makes jobs like shortening beams, cutting timber, or trimming thick branches easier for professionals such as carpenters and facility managers. The saw is much quieter in operation than gasoline-powered tools and works reliably at the touch of a button, without having to pull a cable first. That minimizes set-up times while protecting the hearing and nerves of users and their surroundings, in residential and commercial areas alike. The lack of exhaust fumes also makes it more pleasant to work indoors on jobs like converting attics or renovating half-timbered houses. In addition, the Professional 18V System allows professionals to take care of all their tasks - from repairs and maintenance to caring for outdoor spaces - and to switch back and forth flexibly between saws, screwdrivers, angle grinders, and outdoor equipment. The battery system even goes beyond the Bosch range, thanks to multiple partners in the multi-brand AmpShare battery alliance. Many brands. Many tools. One battery system: This saves tradespeople time, space, and money.

Powerful cuts plus high user protection

The brushless Biturbo motor is durable and gives the cordless chainsaw power for tough jobs. The blade length is 40 centimeters. The robust metal bumper spikes make it possible to easily position the saw and guide it during every cut, while being in control. The OptiCut feature ensures continuous sawing and a clean cutting result even under challenging conditions, such as working with hardwood or making frequent cuts. It recognizes a potential stall in advance and automatically adjusts the torque and speed. In the event of kickback, the motor brake stops the tool to minimize the risk of injury. The electronic chain brake also helps keep users safe by stopping the chain as soon as the speed trigger is released.

Robust tool featuring ergonomic design

The GKE 18V-40 Professional is optimally balanced and sits comfortably in the hand, even when used for long periods. The recommended ProCore18V battery with 12.0 Ah fills the battery compartment almost completely. Sawdust can be easily removed through an opening in the battery compartment when using a smaller battery. Users can tighten the chain accurately and reliably with an adjusting screw. This robust and compact chain tensioning system allows users to cut close to walls, such as when shortening beams in roof trusses. The scrench chain-tensioning tool can be stored in the handle of the saw, making sure it is always to hand. The chain is lubricated automatically, and the transparent oil tank allows users to always keep an eye on the fill level.

The GKE 18V-40 Professional cordless chainsaw will be available starting in September. All prices are recommended retail prices and do not include VAT.
