Efco MT3500 Petrol Chainsaw (14

Efco MT3500 Petrol Chainsaw (14\” Guide Bar) was £199.95 now £189.00
The Efco MT-3500 is a high-powered, high-performance chainsaw that’s been developed to meet the needs of the more exacting domestic user. The result of exhaustive research and top-quality engineering, it’s powered by a 2hp (38.9cc) two-stroke engine with an aluminium breech, a nickel-plated cylinder and a forged connection-rod, all of which work to ensure an extended service life. A catalytic-converter and sound-muffler keep emissions and noise to a minimum; while a choke and fuel-primer make starting a fast, stress-free operation. Thanks to its generously proportioned foam air-filter, the Efco MT-3500 Petrol Chainsaw is a highly efficient performer and is really easy to maintain (you just need to remove three screws to access the filter). Automatic chain-oiling ensures both the bar and chain are kept well lubricated for maximum performance; and a large-capacity fuel-tank combines with the engine’s superior fuel-efficiency to reduce the frequency of top-up stops. Both the fuel and oil-tanks are transparent, so it’s easy to keep track of the fill-level. The engine on the Efco MT-3500 is isolated from the body of the machine with three spring dampers and three rubber stops, ensuring very little stress is placed on the operator’s hands and arms. Other comfort-enhancing features include a newly developed starting-handle, and a large, ergonomically-designed chain-brake lever. The Efco MT-3500 also incorporates Efco’s ‘Ice Device’ technology, which facilitates use in sub-zero conditions. This Euro 2 model meets the emissions requirements of the latest European Union anti-pollution legislation. LOOK>>

The guide bar length is 14\” (35cm). Other features include a large starter-cord handle for improved grip; a fast-acting inertia-type chainbrake, which greatly enhances operator safety; a transparent 0.6-litre fuel-tank, so you can easily keep track of fluid-levels; and tool-less chain-tensioning, for quick, hassle-free adjustments. A robust carrying-case, chain-oil, 2-stroke oil, spanner, and scabbard are included. FREE DELIVERY NEXT WORKING DAY! RYOBI PETROL CHAINSAWS HAVE A 2 YEAR MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY.
