Designed for demanding homeowners, woodland owners and users who prepare substantial quantities of firewood, this M4P electric log saw combines an all-steel construction, an ergonomic tilting cradle and several practical features that simplify cutting operations.

With its maximum cutting capacity of 250 mm for round logs, integrated log-holding teeth, automatic spring-assisted cradle return and electromagnetic blade brake, the M4P BHS 700 is an excellent choice for users looking for a powerful and stable firewood cutting machine.

Powerful 5 kW Three-Phase Electric Motor with 400 V Supply

The M4P BHS 700 log saw features an electric motor operating on a 400 V three-phase power supply. This configuration is suitable for machinery requiring substantial power for regular cutting operations.

The manufacturer specifies a motor power of 5.0 kW under S1 100% continuous duty and 7.0 kW under S6 40% intermittent duty. These ratings correspond to different standardised operating conditions and must be distinguished when evaluating the machine's performance.

The 5 kW rating represents continuous-duty operation under S1 conditions, while the 7 kW rating applies to the specified S6 intermittent-duty conditions.

The motor drives the circular saw blade at a rotation speed of 1400 rpm, enabling efficient cutting of different wood species commonly used for heating.

This motor configuration is particularly suitable for users who regularly need to cut larger-diameter logs while remaining within the machine's maximum cutting capacity.

The saw requires a properly rated 400 V three-phase electrical installation. Before commissioning, the power supply, circuit protection and electrical connection must be checked for compliance with the manufacturer's requirements.

700 mm Carbide-Tipped Saw Blade for Cutting Large Logs

The M4P BHS 700 is supplied as standard with a 700 mm diameter tungsten carbide-tipped (TCT) circular saw blade, specifically suited to cutting firewood.

This blade features a 30 mm bore, a 4.0 mm cutting width and 64 carbide-tipped teeth, providing good wear resistance under normal operating conditions.

The large blade diameter allows the machine to process larger pieces of wood than log saws equipped with smaller-diameter blades.

Thanks to its carbide-tipped teeth, the blade delivers efficient cutting performance across various wood species, provided the machine's technical limits are respected.

To maintain cutting performance, the condition of the teeth, the cleanliness of the blade and the absence of cracks or deformation should be checked regularly.

A damaged, warped or cracked blade, or one with broken teeth, must never be used. Replacement must be carried out using a blade that meets the dimensions and technical specifications recommended by the manufacturer.

250 mm Cutting Capacity for Round Logs

The M4P BHS 700 tilting cradle log saw offers a maximum cutting capacity of 250 mm in diameter for round logs.

This capacity allows relatively large pieces of firewood to be cut, particularly when logs need to be shortened before splitting or storage.

The machine accepts logs with a minimum length of 300 mm and a maximum length of 1000 mm.

It can therefore process different log sizes and prepare firewood suitable for fireplaces, wood-burning stoves and heating inserts.

Actual cutting performance depends on several factors, including wood species, density, moisture content and the presence of knots.

Always respect the maximum cutting diameter of 250 mm and never force the tilting cradle if the blade encounters excessive resistance.

Robust Tilting Cradle for Easier Log Cutting

The tilting cradle of the M4P BHS 700 is designed to provide convenient log positioning and a guided cutting movement.

The operator places the log in the designated cradle and then moves the cradle progressively towards the circular saw blade to perform the cut.

This design makes repeated cutting operations easier and helps maintain a practical working position.

The machine features a working height of approximately 670 mm, allowing logs to be handled conveniently during firewood preparation.

Its robust all-steel structure contributes to the stability of the cradle and the strength of the entire assembly during cutting operations.

The tilting cradle must always be operated according to the manufacturer's instructions, without applying excessive force or bypassing any safety devices.

Integrated Log-Holding Teeth to Reduce Wood Rotation

The M4P BHS 700 400 V log saw features a tilting cradle with integrated log-holding teeth.

These teeth are designed to help hold the wood in position during cutting and reduce its tendency to rotate under the forces generated by the saw blade.

This feature is particularly useful when cutting round logs, whose shape can make them more likely to move within the cradle.

By helping to stabilise the wood, the holding teeth contribute to more consistent and controlled cutting operations.

Nevertheless, it remains essential to check that each log is correctly positioned before beginning the cut.

Automatic Spring Return for the Tilting Cradle

The M4P BHS 700 features an automatic spring-assisted cradle return system, designed to simplify repeated cutting movements.

After each cutting movement, this mechanism helps return the cradle towards its initial position, according to the operating principle specified by the manufacturer.

This feature improves operating comfort, particularly when several logs need to be cut in succession.

It also reduces the handling required to reposition the cradle between cuts.

The spring return mechanism must be kept in good condition and checked regularly in accordance with the machine's maintenance recommendations.

Electromagnetic Blade Brake for Rapid Deceleration

The M4P BHS 700 log saw incorporates an electromagnetic blade brake, an important safety feature on a machine equipped with a large-diameter circular saw blade.

This device is designed to provide rapid blade deceleration after the motor has been switched off, reducing the time during which the blade continues rotating through inertia.

The electromagnetic brake offers a significant advantage compared with machines whose blades slow down solely through natural friction.

However, it never eliminates the need to wait until the blade has come to a complete stop before handling, cleaning or carrying out any maintenance on the machine.

The correct operation of the braking system must be checked in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Enclosed Saw Blade Guard for Improved Safety

The M4P BHS 700 features an enclosed saw blade guard, designed to limit access to hazardous parts of the blade during operation.

This protective device contributes to operator safety when correctly installed and used in accordance with the operating manual.

It complements the machine's other safety features, including the electromagnetic brake and the log-holding system.

All protective guards must remain in place. Never operate the saw if a safety component is missing, damaged or modified.

Safety glasses, hearing protection, safety footwear and suitable work clothing are recommended. Clothing and protective equipment must not present any risk of becoming caught in rotating components.

All-Steel Construction for Excellent Durability

The M4P BHS 700 electric log saw stands out for its robust, torsion-resistant all-steel construction.

This design is intended to provide good stability during cutting operations and withstand the stresses associated with regular firewood preparation.

With a weight of approximately 88 kg, the machine offers a solid structure particularly suited to tasks requiring good stability.

Its overall dimensions of 1170 x 770 x 1100 mm make it possible to plan the space required for installation and operation.

The machine must always be positioned on a stable, level and sufficiently strong surface, with adequate clearance around the tilting cradle for safe log handling.

Transport Wheels for Easier Movement

Despite its robust construction and weight of approximately 88 kg, the M4P BHS 700 is equipped with transport wheels supplied as standard.

These wheels make it easier to move the machine between its storage location and working area.

This feature is particularly practical for users who wish to store their log saw after use or move it occasionally around a workshop, shelter or property.

Before moving the machine, always switch off the motor, wait until the blade has stopped completely and disconnect the saw from its electrical supply.
