SAFETY THROUGH ERGONOMICS
Florabest petrol chainsaw FBKS 52 A1
With a sword length of 52 cm, almost 3 hp engine power and 12000 rpm, it is currently the flagship of the Florabest chainsaws.
So much performance doesn't just want to appear in a chic guise, but safety, ergonomics and understandable usability were also on the design agenda.

Good industrial design is based on ergonomic and technical requirements.
As a member of the Florabest family, the FBKS 52 A1 has all the design features just like its siblings:
- flowing lines
- dynamic, powerful main gesture
- unique color coding
(red controls, black handles) - honeycomb surface structure
Safe function:
Safety features such as front and rear hand protection, claw stop and saw blade cover mean that the FBKS 52 A1 is state of the art when it comes to operational safety. Extensive safety accessories round off this coherent overall package.
All in all, the Florabest chainsaw is well equipped for tough outdoor use.
Intuitive operation and ergonomics
When developing the chainsaw, the focus was on usability. The complex process of starting a petrol engine cannot be compared to starting a cordless device. Everything is different here – just put the battery in and go.
Cold start, warm start, choke, primer and mixture can sometimes overwhelm the hobby lumberjack. Therefore, clear labeling of the controls is a must in such a redesign. In this case, only the controls are coded in red and the starting process is detailed and clearly legible for the user. It goes without saying that a balanced load distribution, easy-to-clean surfaces and ergonomic grip options should not be neglected.
