Huter chain saws: German quality at an affordable price.
The producer of horticultural and agricultural equipment Huter has long ago established itself on the domestic market. The owners of devices from this company note its reliability, good quality and high performance. However, few people know that the company was founded in Germany in the late 70’s and originally engaged in the development and production of various lighting devices, gasoline and diesel generators, mini power plants. But by the end of 80-ies the assortment of products was greatly expanded, and chain saws and electric chainsaws of Huter were in particular demand among customers.
During its 50-year history the company has built two factories in Germany, but in recent years much of the production capacity has been moved to China. It is connected with the world trends and dictated by the desire of the manufacturer to optimize prices and increase production volumes of devices. It should be noted that the transfer of production capacity has not led to a decrease in the reliability of Huter tools. All tools are produced in accordance with the company’s internal quality standards and are certified in many countries around the world. The high quality and safety of Huter chain saws is also due to the fact that many components are imported from Germany, Japan and USA.
The company attaches great importance to the after-sales service of its devices. Service centers of Huter are presented in all regions and large cities of CIS countries. Choosing a Huter electric saw, a buyer pays attention to a reasonable price – the company does not tend to overprice its products.
Today, it is possible to buy Huter chainsaw for the price ranging from 4,800 to 5,700 rubles.
Features of Huter chainsaws:

- Information support from the manufacturer and after-sales service of the tool.
Model range of electric saws Huter
As already mentioned, the main direction of the company is the production of generators and mini-electric power plants. Perhaps that’s why we find only three tools in the model range of Huter chain saws. It should be noted that the company only produces chainsaws, there are no cordless saws from this manufacturer on the market at the moment.

With its help you can saw boards and lumber crosswise and lengthwise, perform various construction and repair works (including indoors), cut trees, prepare and chop firewood.

Owners of the model note the low noise level emitted by the device and the absence of vibration.

- Use the inside nut to fasten the blade guard and saw mounted on the saw body.
- Use the outer tensioner nut to determine the correct tension of the saw chain;
- Pull the inner nut as far as it will go;
- Check chain tension and adjust if necessary.
Important: The chain gets hot and the limbs get stretched during operation. It is therefore necessary to stop the engine after 10-15 minutes of work and check again that the chain tension is correct.

The performance and durability of the individual parts and components of the electric saw depends a lot on their operation.

What they say on forums
Stanislav Verbitsky, 43, Ulyanovsk region:
I use the Huter ELS-2400 saw mainly for cutting firewood. I work in the barn – it is warmer and you can not be afraid of rain. In terms of productivity, in my opinion, the electric saw is better than its gasoline sister. There, while you prepare fuel, while you start it, you have already sawed half a heap of firewood with the electric tool. I am even silent about the efficiency of the tool: electricity costs pennies, the cost is only the oil for the chain. I am very satisfied with my purchase, I wish I had bought it earlier.
Peter Starkov, 51, Ekaterinburg:
Of course, the electric saw is not suitable for tasks related to working in the woods and cutting down large trees. As a second device, I bought the Huter ELS-2000. I use it for repair work, especially when I need to cut something in the room. Among the advantages of the tool I will highlight its environmental friendliness, efficiency and low noise level. As for the disadvantages, I don’t really like the keyless tensioner – the chain seems to loosen all the time. Also, the model is too heavy compared to competitors of other brands.
Advantages: price, efficiency, environmental friendliness, low noise level;
Disadvantages: high weight, the power cord is made of low-quality material, weak chain in the basic set.

Reviews of owners
The lineup of chainsaws huter is not diverse, so the cross-drive design and a moderate price for its class convinced me in the model ELS 2000p. First impression – the engine traction is enough, but for stable operation, especially when working with frozen, wet wood, you should use more expensive and high-quality chains. The chain makes noises in the beginning, but it gets better with time. Arkady
Huter electric saw was bought for a one-time job of swinging an old tree, which the wind blew into the garden. Then I bought a Haspel extension cord and started earning something in the village by making firewood. The tool is gradually paying off. For the record, a standard budget quality headset, a sturdier counterpart to Shtlev or Husqvarn. Mountain
