Product Description

Robust brushless cordless chainsaw
The SKIL 0540 brushless cordless chainsaw is the ideal solution for fast, effective sawing of tree trunks, branches and wooden beams. It has a performance of ‘40V Max’, using two ‘20V Max’ batteries. The brushless motor is faster, stronger and lasts 10 times longer than a comparable brushed motor. Combined with a long 35 cm Oregon blade and high chain speed, you get the job done easily. Chain tension can be adjusted in just a few moments, with no need for any tools and oiling of the chain is done automatically. These time-saving features enable you to focus more on your sawing tasks. The chain stops virtually instantly when the trigger switch is released or if the kick-back brake is actuated while sawing. Thanks to SKIL’s exclusive ‘Easy Storage’ designs, these tools take up minimal storage space after use. The SKIL 0540 CA is supplied with a chain, a chain bar, chain cover and an 'Easy Storage' hook. The batteries aren't included.

‘PWRCORE 20™’ industry-leading battery technology to power all SKIL '20V Max' tools
The ‘PWRCORE 20™’ system consists of industry-leading advanced battery and charger technology, plus innovative features you won’t find anywhere else, such as our patented ‘KEEPCOOL™’ battery cooling technology which increases the runtime by up to 25% and doubles the battery lifetime. Whereas the patented ‘ACTIVCELL™’ technology safeguards a maximum performance and optimal battery protection. The ‘PWRCORE 20™’ batteries and chargers are 100% compatible and interchangeable with all SKIL ‘PWRCORE 20™’ power tools and garden tools for ultimate flexibility.
