Oleo-Mac GSH 560 Petrol Chainsaw 54.5cc/20″

Italian manufacturer Oleo-Mac has introduced the new ‘H’ Series of entry-level chainsaws designed for domestic use. These models feature medium power to provide the perfect compromise of performance and economy for pruning tasks around the home and garden.

The larger of the two models is the GHS 560 which is powered by Emak’s own 54.5cc 2-stroke engine. The “EasyStart” system ensures a smooth pick-up of the engine with a minimal number of pulls on the cord, with the addition of reduced kickback thanks to a double starter spring. The “primer” facilitates starting even in the harshest climates.

Equipped with an Oregon 50cm guide bar and .3/8″ chain, the chainsaw’s compactness, versatility and good power-to-weight ratio ensure excellent cutting performance for any use from limbing and pruning to cutting medium-sized trunks. A fully adjustable automatic oil pump cuts down on chain oil consumption and reduces the impact on the environment.

The Oleo-Mac GSH 560 is equipped with numerous safety features including anti kick-back protection and front hand guard. The anti-vibration system fully isolates the handles from the engine reducing operator fatigue. Weighing just 5.5kg (dry weight without cutting gear), the nickel plated cylinder ensures a longer working life, whilst the stable fuel-air mixture provides smooth operation.
