According to our chainsaw expert
With the Bosch UniversalChain 40 chainsaw, you can easily cut thick branches and tree trunks up to 40cm thick. This means you can collect enough firewood for warm and cozy winter days. Simply add a fire basket and marshmallows to complete the setting. The relatively large 250mm oil tank and efficient oil supply system ensure you won't have to refill the chain oil as quickly. You can't accidentally spill the oil on the handle, because the tank is located on the side. The soft handle ensures you'll work comfortably with the saw. In addition, you can easily adjust the tension on the saw chain without tools. The vibration-dampening handle reduces shocks while you're sawing. This way, you'll work more comfortably than with a chainsaw that doesn't have this.

In my opinion, the instructions for use could be made clearer, they should be read carefully and some drawings should also be clearer. The saw is easy to handle, due to its weight and the noise level is also fine. Assembling the chain is quite difficult and requires routine. The saw certainly meets my expectations, especially regarding safety and it is a saw that can be seen

I had a lot of trouble putting the chain on to start
And I thought it must be me, but a colleague of mine who has been working with chainsaws for 20 years has not gotten them either
After a long struggle it worked And then once I got them on I was able to saw through a few branches Then she fell off again
It must be me because I've never had a saw in my hands

It is essential to read the manual before use with this chainsaw. Safety and correct operation are absolute prerequisites for correct use. Unfortunately, the instructions are not completely complete: eg image J is incomplete (references X-Z are missing). The pictures have also been hidden in the back without being able to unfold them. The installation of the chain is quite difficult. Applying to the sword is fine, but then the chain wheel must also be tensioned for a long time. And that only works after a few attempts. In fact, you're just short of a hand. Please note that the required saw chain tack oil is not included and an extension cord is missing in this version. Both are fundamental… Until now I had only occasionally worked with a chainsaw. This means that the cord takes some getting used to. Make sure this is over the shoulder. There are still a lot of trunks in the garden and some unwanted and dead trees also have to be cut down. In short, plenty to do. the 4.2 kg machine with a 1,800 W motor (chain speed 12 m/s) turns out to be an efficient and fast machine. Up to 35 cm thick, it goes on its way undisturbed. I am very positively surprised. Make sure you always position the claw stop correctly to avoid dangerous situations. Also do not saw thin branches because the machine could then shoot away. After a day's work, the logs are neatly ready to be split and some trees have also been sawn into pieces. A great saw that works surprisingly well. A wonderful result after a day's work. Cleaning is also easy. In short, a real must in its class.
