Battery-powered outdoor power equipment specialist, EGO Power Plus, has added a high-performance professional chainsaw to its range for forestry and garden professionals.
The CSX5000 is the first in a new generation of rear-handle chainsaws designed for demanding work. With a 30m/s chain speed, it provides comparable performance to established petrol saws; but brings all the benefits of battery power.
Chris Buck, Product Manager at EGO, said: “The most demanding ground saw applications require precision, power, and good ergonomics. The CSX5000 delivers all three in a saw that matches or exceeds the performance of petrol saws.”
Ideal for bar lengths of 40cm – 50cm, the CSX5000 has a 50cm full chisel chain for fast and efficient cutting and metal bumper spikes for extra stability when cross-cutting. Perfect for light forestry work, it copes comfortably with felling and cross-cutting tasks. An integrated felling line enhances safety by ensuring the user can see in which direction the tree or branches will fall.
Weight distribution is integral to the saw’s performance and safety, so EGO’s product development team have ensured the CSX5000 has a centralised battery position to provide optimal tool balance. The handle positions also ensure comfort when both cross-cutting and felling.
The saw also features a new display screen that enables the user to quickly check all the key parameters of the saw, such as oil level, battery capacity and set speed. The operator can use the LCD control panel to change the chain speed down to 25 or 20m per second and control the oil rate to ensure the most efficient cutting possible. In addition, there is a translucent oil tank for easy level viewing and a flat filling position to minimise the risk of spills.
“The CSX5000 is a truly powerful and robust chainsaw that is specifically designed for forestry and garden professionals as well as landscapers and grounds care specialists,” added Chris. “With zero emissions as well as far lower operating overheads and maintenance costs, it offers a great return on investment.”
The CSX5000 is part of the new PRO X series of hard-wearing and powerful tools for professionals, which also includes a lawn mower, hedge trimmers, brush cutters, and grass trimmers.
