With the 48V cordless STIGA SPR 500 AE Chainsaw you'll enjoy unrestricted movement with less noise, less vibration, zero emissions and less engine maintenance requirements! A precision machine ideal for in-tree work, the SPR 500 AE is compact and lightweight enough to be highly manoeuvrable where space is limited; and has been equipped with a metal hook that enables climbing with the machine easier and safer. Further boosting safety is a fast-acting chain brake that is activated either manually or automatically when the inertia caused by kick-back is detected. The SPR 500 AE features a wide side-handle and an ergonomic soft-touch top handle which combine to ensure the operator will find it comfortable and easy to control. A transparent window makes it simple to keep track of the oil tank fill-level; whilst the thumb-support area enables a stronger forward thrust and a faster, smoother cut (a high-performance chain also contributes to smoothness of cut). The recommended 4Ah battery and charger are NOT supplied with the SPR 500 AE chainsaw, but these are available separately. WARNING: This chainsaw is for use by trained tree service operators only. Use without proper training can result in severe injuries.
