What Users Say

Its solid construction and speedy work really attract users to what the Einhell GH-EC 2040 can do. Add easy handling and lighweight to that list, and you have a chain saw that is easy to use for long hours. Anything less than 10 inches in diameter and it cuts through it like a charm. This reliable German brand is user-friendly, can work with most wood sizes and is great for garden tasks and projects.

You will need to loosen the chain after each cutting session because it technically needs to contract as it cools. If you do not loosen it, it will stay elongated and you will soon learn that you cannot tighten it up again afterwards. The first half hour will see you constantly tightening the chain after which it finds its place and you will not need to perform such regular tightening. The chain saw has a thumb wheel that you can turn on a threaded bar. It adjusts the length and tightness of the chain. The thread being shallow has the potential to cause chain slippage during the tightening process, probably causing it to go slack.

What We Say

The tensioning mechanism is simple and straightforward. The chain saw itself is well built and durable. It has a very pleasing look and feel, with convenient handles and easy to use options. As with all electrical chain saws, the chain has to be positioned the correct way and should be properly tensioned. Once you have sorted this out and gotten it right, you can enjoy gardening and woodworking with this chain saw that makes everything faster (13.5 m/s cut rate) and convenient 5m cable to move freely over wider areas.

Is it Right for you?

Any gardener will enjoy what the Einhell GH-EC 2040 brings to the task. If you like to work over a bigger area without constant re-plugging, this is the chain saw for you. Logs, tree trunks, hedges, mowing tasks and more are all easy tasks with this machine.
