There are probably a lot of things in your home which already depend upon battery-power, ranging from laptops and smartphones to TV remotes and watches. One battery-powered device which you might not have considered owning before now, however, is a chainsaw. This is partly because most domestic chainsaws are still old-fashioned, fume-belching petrol machines, so most people don’t think of battery-power when they’re planning tough cutting work. But recent advances in battery technology mean that saws as powerful and user-friendly as Efco’s MT-2200 35cm (14″) chainsaw are now available, offering outstanding cutting performance without the noise, emissions and hassle involved in running a petrol saw.
This is possible thanks to Efco’s hi-tech 36V/2.6Ah lithium-ion battery (available seperately), which slots neatly into the MT-2200 for instant power without the need to fill a fuel tank first! The benefits of battery power are manifold:
The MT-2200 is quieter running than any petrol saw, making it more suitable for use in urban environments where noisier petrol equipment would cause an unwelcome disturbance;
The MT-2200 produces zero emissions, making it better for the environment and even suitable for use in enclosed spaces;
The MT-2200 isn’t restricted by a power cord like other electric chainsaws, so you can work with complete freedom when away from a power outlet;
The MT-2200 is cheaper and easier to maintain than a petrol chainsaw, with reduced servicing demands and no fuel costs.
Despite this advanced power system the MT-2200 remains a very traditional machine in other ways, with its 35cm (14”) Oregon bar and a 3/8” x .050” chain providing the kind of cutting performance for which Efco’s petrol saws are now famous. The chain speed of 8m/s is ideal for the vast majority of domestic cutting work, enabling efficient chopping or firewood and pruning of trees and woody shrubs. The MT-2200 is also easy to handle, with the battery compartment placed at the rear to balance out the cutting gear, while a comfortable rear grip ensures manoeuvrability and comfort. Also featuring SDS chain tension adjustment and an automatic chain lubrication system for consistently exceptional results, the MT-2200 is therefore just as hassle-free to operate as it is good at cutting stuff!
Moreover, the hi-tech battery utilised by the MT-2200 is designed to be compatible with Efco’s entire battery range, so you will only need one power source to operate all of your Efco battery-powered tools (though purchasing a spare battery will allow you to set one charging while the other is in use, guaranteeing uninterrupted performance when tackling heavier workloads). As such the MT-2200 is part of a system which offers complete convenience throughout the garden, as well as offering brilliant cutting performance in its own right!
