The Bosch Chainsaw PKE 18V-30-28 is a versatile cordless tool designed for homeowners needing to quickly and easily cut large branches and logs. Its key benefit is the continuous cutting power with OptiCut speed control and a high-torque brushless motor for rapid progress, but a caveat is that it is a bare tool, requiring separate purchase of an 18V battery and charger. This model features a 300mm bar for ample cutting capacity, tool-free chain tensioning via SDS, and an automatic oiling system, making it ideal for pruning, garden waste breakdown, and firewood preparation for those already within the PowerForAll 18V Alliance system.

A 'bare tool' means the product is sold without a battery or charger. This is ideal if you already own compatible Bosch 18V PowerForAll batteries and chargers, allowing you to expand your tool collection without buying redundant power sources.
This chainsaw uses the Bosch 18V PowerForAll system. It is compatible with all Bosch 18V batteries and batteries from other manufacturers within the PowerForAll 18V Alliance.
The chainsaw features an SDS system for tool-free chain tensioning. Simply turn the tensioning knob located on the side of the bar until the chain is correctly tightened.
The chainsaw has an automatic oiling system. You should refill the oil tank whenever it is empty, typically before each extended use, and ensure the oiler is functioning by observing oil on the chain during operation.
The maximum cutting diameter for this chainsaw is approximately 27.5cm, though the bar length is 30cm.
No, this chainsaw is designed for DIY and home garden use. While it offers good performance for its class, it is not intended for heavy-duty professional logging.
The chainsaw comes with a standard 2-year manufacturer's warranty, which can be extended to 3 years upon registration with Mybosch within the specified timeframe.
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check that the safety switch is engaged. If the issue persists, try a different compatible battery.
Stop the chainsaw and use the SDS mechanism to re-tension the chain. Ensure the chain is properly seated on the bar.
Check that the chain is sharp and properly tensioned. Ensure the oil tank is full and the automatic oiling system is working by checking for oil on the chain. Clean any debris from the bar groove.
Inspect the chain brake mechanism for any obstructions or damage. Refer to the user manual for specific brake reset procedures. If damage is suspected, contact customer support.
The tool may have overheated. Allow it to cool down. Check the battery charge level. Ensure there are no blockages around the motor vents.
