Electric chainsaws restrict your freedom of movement; petrol chainsaws are just an all-round hassle - the Stiga SC24AE is the perfect solution, offering as it does convenient cord-free operation and petrol-matching power without the fuss and bother.

Its petrol-equivalent performance is thanks to its high-output 24v (4Ah) lithium-ion battery-pack; a new-generation Stiga-designed unit that’s characterised by its fade-free power, short charge-times and lengthy run-times.

The Stiga SC24AE 24v Cordless Chainsaw is fitted with a compact 25cm bar that means it's easy to wield; and which makes it suitable for lighter-duty DIY jobs and smaller-scale lopping- and pruning-tasks.

The continuously lubricated cutting-gear is from US industry-leaders Oregon, so you can be confident of stay-sharp durability and minimal ‘kick-back’ tendency.

For optimum operator-safety, Stiga have furnished the SC24AE with a chain-brake that kicks-in the moment the handle is released.

A vibration level of just 2.5m/s - far lower than equivalent petrol models - ensures pretty much fatigue-free use; while a machine-weight of just 2.2kg means any operator will find it comfortable and easy-handling.

Also featured is straightforward no-tools chain-tensioning.

The battery and charger supplied are compatible with all the other tools in Stiga complete 24v garden-care range.
