Product Description
Product Description
This chainsaw offers superb performance due to its high chain speed of 12 m/sec. It has the speed and power to cut through wood quickly, cleanly and is well balanced for comfortable use at any angle. It comes complete with a quick stop kick-back brake for maximum safety and a run-down brake for normal usage.
Power Source
The AKE 40-19S electric chainsaw is powered by an impressive 1900 watt Bosch motor for outstanding cutting performance.
Cutting System
This chainsaw comes with a 40 cm cutter bar with a sharp mono-chrome coated chain for easy and precise cutting. The kick-back brake operates in less than 0.1 seconds, enabling the chainsaw to stop 30 percent faster than safety standards recommend. The large steel gripping teeth allow for good leverage, accurate cutting and reduced possibility of kick-back.
Other Features
Weighing only 4.5 kg the AKE 40-19S is lightweight and able to be handled with ease and accuracy. It features simple, tool-free chain assembly and tension for convenience and less hassle.

First impressions from cutting down one fifteen foot high laurel bush/tree are excellent.
It's lighter than a petrol chainsaw, and cuts through wood like butter.
The disadvantage is that you have a cable which you have keep moving so you don't cut through it!
Also it was annoying that the box comes with only enough oil to fill the reservoir to the empty level !!! I had to go and buy a litre from B&Q before I could start.
However all in all it seems to have been a good purchase at a competitive price.

I bought two previous electric chainsaws that blew motors after 2 years of light work. One was a Husqvarna (£200ish) and than a Jonsered (£180ish). Both were good brands, but heavy and hard to use if you have arthritis in your hands-which I do.
After both blew, I decided to just buy a cheap chainsaw as it couldn't be any worse. In fact this is better than both for just cutting logs for the woodburner.It has a 2 year warranty, is far cheaper and is much easier to use. Why? The body is lighter,has a boxy shape that sits better in the hand. The deadmans handle where you have to hold the on/off and lockoff switches simultaneously is a lot lighter to do when you are using the saw for a while. Also has much longer cable (the Jonsered had half a metre!)If it packs up within 2 years, I have the warranty, if after that, I am still ahead compared to the more expensive traditional chainsaw brands.

ORIGINAL REVIEW
===============
This is the second chainsaw that I have owned and it is certainly a much better tool that my previous JCB model that had a similar specification.
Although it weighs a couple of kilograms, it is nicely balanced and, as a result, feels much lighter than it actual is.
Assembly was a tad tricky, but nothing difficult - it's just you need to take a bit of care lining up everything. It is useful that no tools are needed to assemble it, nor to adjust the chain when using it (unplug from the main first!).
In terms of cutting performance, I have used it to remove a bough off a tree in the garden that was about 12 inches in diameter, and it had absolutely no trouble whatsoever on this. Turning it into logs for the fire was also very fast and easy. The real beauty was the lack of kickback which made handling it feel very safe.
As other reviewers have mentioned, it is worth ordering some more oil Bosch Chainsaw Oil - Biodegradable (1 litre) (you only get enough to just get up to the minimum mark with the supplied pack) and a spare blade Bosch 1.1mm Saw Chain for AKE 40/AKE 40-17S / AKE 40-18S Chainsaws ordered now will save you the hassle when you finally blunt the blade (much cheaper and easier that trying to do the sharpening yourself - not recommended).
All the normal caveats apply with usage of chainsaw (protective clothing, etc.) - just be sensible.... Read more ›

By John B
A powerful chainsaw. Sturdy unit . Main criticism is that the bar and chain assembly is awkward to s fit. Not sure if the non-tool idea is a good one > perhaps it's me ?
Once the bar and chain are in place adjustment is fairly straight forward > but make sure the chain tension is accurate as the chain easily 'jumps off' . Protective gear essential !!
UPDATE : I have used the chainsaw during the last 12 months and have felled trees ( 15" diameter - cut up a 25 m fir hedge trunks etc.
The jumping chain thing is down to adjustment - after getting used to the unit I can honestly say I didn't have any problems .
You need to keep the chain sharpened @ £5 each - well worth the money !Bosch AKE 40-19S Electric Chainsaw

I've bought lots of Bosch products over the years and have always found them to be well designed & robust as well as competitively priced so I thought I'd give this electric one a go. I've used petrol chainsaws in the past and found them to be very powerful cutters but noisy, smelly and heavy to use as well as a bugger to start! Great for heavy cutting but overkill for the smaller jobs. As a regular chainsaw user I am well aware of the need to fit the chain the right way round, to keep chain & bar well oiled and the chain correctly tensioned against the bar so I thought the Bosch locking and tensioning system on this one would be fine. How wrong I was. Having followed the instructions to the letter I cut a few logs, left it for about 5 minutes for the chain & bar to cool, re-tensioned the chain and locked it off, I started to cut some more logs and the plastic cover broke around the location slot. Before you could say 'Bosch' the chain went instantly slack, jumped off the bar and mashed the inside of the cover. That was the end of that. The product generally looks strong and well built but the Plastic Cover is definitly it's achilles heel. If Bosch replaced the plastic cover with a pressed steel one, it would probably be safer and last a lifetime.. not 10 minutes as in my case!

Great chainsaw
This proved to be much more robust than expected. It seems to cope with quite big logs even though it's light weight and easy to use.

Terrible
Chain wouldn't simply tighten up enough, and therefore kept coming off, this was very dangerous broke plastic cover, and rendered the item unusable. Refund processed. Read more

Superb
As good as a petrol chainsaw. I am amazed at the power and its light and easy to use and relatively quiet. I had no trouble felling a pine tree with a 14" trunk.

For a Bosch tool - very poor!
After 7 months intermittent use, the oil pump has failed, there is a crack in the plastic safety brake bar, the inside of the plastic blade tension cover is well worn. Read more

Easy enough to assemble - yes, slightly fiddly, but hardly the end of the world. Make sure you get some chainsaw oil when ordering. Read more
