Black & Decker Alligator Chainsaw Lopper Pruner 550W 230V Orange & Black

Black & Decker 550W Alligator Powered Lopper 100mm Cutting Capacity Fully Enclosed Chain Orange

• Powerful 550W corded electric motor delivers chainsaw-style cutting performance for branches up to 100mm in diameter.
• Fully enclosed 100mm guide bar and chain with patented jaws helps shield the moving chain during cutting.
• Ergonomic dual lopper-style handles and two-switch operation provide controlled handling during branch cutting.
• Designed for pruning trees, cutting fallen branches and processing small logs while standing on the ground.

The Black & Decker Alligator Powered Lopper is a 550W corded electric garden cutting tool designed to combine the handling style of a manual lopper with the cutting performance of a powered chainsaw. Its distinctive Alligator design uses enclosed cutting jaws to hold branches while the chain cuts through the material.

The Black & Decker is designed for cutting branches and small logs with a maximum diameter of 100mm (4 inches). Its 100mm guide bar and fully enclosed cutting system make it particularly suited to ground-level pruning and garden maintenance. Black & Decker describes the tool as suitable for trimming tree branches, cutting fallen branches and cutting small logs from the ground.

A 550W motor powers the cutting chain, while the official technical data specifies a no-load chain speed of approximately 2.3m/s for the Black & Decker . The tool operates from a 230V mains supply and is therefore a corded electric garden tool rather than a battery-powered lopper.

The patented jaw configuration encloses the bar and chain, helping protect the user from direct contact with the moving cutting chain. The dual lopper-style handles require two-handed operation, and the safety switching arrangement helps prevent accidental starting.

The Black & Decker also incorporates an oiling system for chain lubrication. Regular lubrication and correct chain tension are important for cutting performance and chain life. The instruction information recommends checking lubrication and chain condition regularly and adjusting chain tension when required.

The supplied product information identifies the colour as orange and the construction as primarily plastic with metal cutting components.
