Bosch UNIVERSALCHAIN P4A 18v Cordless Chainsaw 200mm
Designed to offer a safer, easier to use and less intimidating machine for users with limited chainsaw experience, the UNIVERSALCHAIN 18 is also the first chainsaw on the Bosch PowerForAll 18v cordless platform. The tool is particularly compact and lightweight so users can work with the UNIVERSALCHAIN 18 in a controlled manner and can use it comfortably for a variety of sawing tasks in the garden. Typical uses include pruning fruit trees and cutting timber or branches for firewood; the UNIVERSALCHAIN 18 is suitable for cutting materials with a diameter of up to 135mm. The tool has a number of features which help to make it safer and more intuitive to use. Its recoil protection helps users to make every cut, such as undercuts, in a controlled manner: The protective guard at the tip of the blade reduces vibrations and makes clean cuts easier, which promote the healthy growth of wood. The way in which the severed branch falls can also be controlled more accurately and other branches will not be damaged accidentally.The UNIVERSALCHAIN 18 has a Bosch SDS system, which enables the saw chain and bar to be fitted in just a few hand movements and without the use of tools, and benefits from automatic chain lubrication. The cordless chainsaw also has an ergonomic handle with Softgrip and an additional handle with a hand guard. During all sawing operations, the user can see the charging state of the battery on an easily visible display on the tool. The UNIVERSALCHAIN 18 is part of the PowerForAll battery system which comprises DIY and garden tools. More than 20 different power tools, from grass trimmers to rotary hammer drills, can all be operated using the same 18 volt lithium ion battery. Most of these tools can be optionally purchased as body only machines (without battery or charger) - providing the PowerForAll user with an economical way to add additional power tools to their kit when required.

Battery AH Explained
The best way to describe battery amp hour is that this is effectively the size of your fuel tank, the more amp hours your battery has then the longer the battery will last between charges. More amp hours does not increase the power of a given tool.
Battery Voltage Explained
A tool with a higher voltage than another is a bit like choosing an engine in a car, the higher voltage will generally mean higher power & performance. As with cars though a bigger engine does not always translate to better performance so it is important to compare the specifications of tools at different voltages between different manufacturers.
Chainsaws
Always make sure your oil is topped up & your chain is tensioned correctly. This will ensure your chain life is extended & more importantly is operating safely.
Remember Chainsaws are dangerous. Do not attempt to use one if you have not fully read the instructions, are confident in the correct use & have adequate safety equipment & clothing.
Bosch PowerForAll
The Bosch PowerForAll Tool range is a range of tools you can buy knowing that batteries are compatible with all tools in the range providing they are of the same voltage. eg 18v fits 18v, 12v (10.8v) fits 12v (10.8v) etc. Please also note that 10.8v is compatible with 12v & vice versa as it is just a name change. Indego Lawnmowers also use the PowerForAll 18v battery but require a cover plate to be removed if changing.
PowerForAll has many advantages not least the fact that once you have a tool with a few batteries then there is no need to buy the more expensive versions with battery & charger, you can just go ahead & buy the much cheaper no battery versions!
So remember PowerForAll signifies complete battery compatibility throughout the range. There is however, one caveat to this, some of the very first older chargers will not charge the very latest batteries & a battery charger upgrade will be required if you have a first generation charger. All batteries fit all tools however.
As of 2021 Bosch has licensed PowerForAll to other manufacturers whereby batteries between these manufacturers will be interchangeable.
Important
You cannot use Bosch Pro (Blue) batteries in either 12v or 18v DIY (Green) products.

Read 41 Customer Review(s) for Bosch UNIVERSALCHAIN P4A 18v Cordless Chainsaw 200mm
The service provided was second to none, fantastic communication from placement of order to delivery of product. My cordless Bosch chainsaw arrived on time, was securely packed and, as would be expected from Bosch, is an excellent piece of kit. I have no hesitation in advising to friends and will most certainly purchase from them again.
Great little saw! Perfect for my needs, cutting up to 6" logs no problem. Battery life is better than expected too.
A satisfactory purchase
It’s not a powerful full-size chainsaw, but that’s the point. It’s compact and light, ideal for pruning and limbing, then paring down the cut off branches for disposal. The tip-guard makes under-cutting so easy and safe. Battery endurance is adequate, depending on which battery you choose, but best of all it shares batteries and charger with other tools.
My third Bosch tool from these guys. Superb service again
Overall very satisfied. Advertised with a free bottle of chainsaw oil however, this was not supplied. When I queried this I was advised that the offer didn’t apply to purchases that excluded a battery. This was not made clear on the website.
