Bosch Chainsaw UniversalChain 35 pairs a 35 cm (14 in) bar and mains electric power.
With 35 cm of bar, expect to deal with logs up to about 30 cm without thinking about it, and up to 35 cm in one pass. Beyond that you are working from both sides, which is fine for firewood and poor for felling.
The specification lists a 1800W motor, a listed weight of 4.2 kg.
It is fitted with a chain brake, tool-free chain tensioning, low-kickback chain.
A mains saw gives the most cutting power per pound spent, as long as the work happens within reach of a socket. Use a heavy-duty extension lead fully unwound, and plug into an RCD. It is a homeowner grade machine, intended for occasional use rather than daily work.
Specifications are as published by the manufacturer or the retailer listing rather than measured by us. Always check the figures on the product page before buying.

FAQs
Does it have a kick back arrestor?
Yes.
How long can you cut for before the chainsaw over heats?
Never happened to me so far and sometimes I’ve cut a pile of logs (down to woodburner size) all morning; stopping only when my arms gave out. Do keep a check on the chain tension as all new chains tend to stretch.
How long is the power cable?
As I recall it comes with a 15cm stub lead with EU style male pin attached. In the box there’s a sepaprate 2/2.5m UK male to EU female extension lead, but if you needed a longer you could make one up without effecting the chainsaw itself. For detals find the Bosch DIY web-site then search for the device by name.
