Battery Powered Chainsaws
Your employees still need to carry their sharpeners, and they still need to put in bar-and-chain oil. Bar-and-chain oil is one requirement I’ve noticed in particular being neglected on battery saws. Cutting-edge electric chainsaw cordless technology isn’t going to do you any good if the new employee warps the guide bar and ruins the chain rollers every time they take the saw out. One of the advantages of a cordless chainsaw is its portability.
Most batteries only last for 1 or 2 hours, so make sure you have at least two or three extra batteries for backup. If you’re working on heavy-duty projects that last the whole day, bring five or six extra batteries. If you have a wood lot and cut a lot of wood, this probably isn’t going to be the saw for you as the runtimes won’t be long enough and a 16″ bar has its limitations. One common complaint that is legitimate is the filter on the bar chain oil receptacle. It’s well intentioned to keep non-oil materials out of the oil reservoir, but it slows filling the oil to a crawl and isn’t necessary. If anything, in fact, the EGO’s chain management is easier to use in this respect.
How much wood would the Sun Joe cut if the Sun Joe had kept cutting? That’s the question we’re pondering after seeing what this saw could (and couldn’t) do. The Sun Joe 16 inch cordless chainsaw is a powerful tool, well balanced, with important safety features. However, its one flaw is that it kept stopping part-way through a cut.

We’ve been using Makita’s 18V and 18V X2 chainsaws for years. However, it’s the 40V max XGT line that has the best options for Team Teal. The GCU04 steps up with 42cc gas equivalent power thanks to its brushless motor.
We put them through the same arduous tests as we would heavy-duty gas chainsaws to evaluate cutting speed. Using 10-inch-thick oak beams, we time how long it takes for each saw to work its way through the wood. However, if you’re looking for a powerful saw that can run as long as it’s kept on, get a corded electric chainsaw. These saws can cut bigger and tougher trees and don’t require recharging, which means you can cut for as long as you want.
Never use a chainsaw when you are tired, not feeling well, or under the influence of any substance that might impair your reflexes, balance, or judgment. Be the first to know about new products, innovations, and offers. They do not require long extension cords or special fuels. Chainsaw chains are known to stretch with use due to a combination of temperature changes and centrifugal force. New chains stretch quite a bit due to the same factors as well as simply “breaking in,” and that’s totally acceptable. However, when a chain stretches, it can fit loosely on the bar or even skip off of the bar altogether—annoying, if not dangerous.
Overall, while battery-operated chainsaws don’t generally perform as well, they are easier to use. The lithium-ion batteries that power cordless chainsaws are not without their own set of unique fire hazards. These batteries require careful management when handling and charging.
"Pull the trigger and you are instantly at full power with no lug down when you start cutting," he observes. But now, more often than not, the saw I grab and throw in the pickup when tackling small cutting jobs is that battery unit – and for good reason. Those with 14- to 16-inch-diameter trunks aren't a problem for my saw, which employs a 14-inch blade. For larger trees, I reach for my 22-inch engine-drive saw and am glad for it. Last but not least, you need to consider and balance your personal preferences.
Corded electric chainsaws also tend to be less expensive than battery-powered chainsaws. When I decided to try the cordless chainsaw, not knowing anyone who had one, I was shopping in the dark. I chose the Ryobi based partly on reviews and partly on the price being more in line with what my budget would allow for a mistake. These saws are amazingly powerful, more than adequate for smaller jobs, and capable when you attack the larger ones. The number one thing, at least for me, is the lack of the aggravation of putting it into action.

A battery-powered chainsaw typically runs about 30 to 40 minutes with intermittent use depending on the battery’s size. Get the DeWalt brushless battery chainsaw at The Home Depot.
Lightweight and compact, STIHL electric motors require minimal maintenance and feature low noise levels and reduced vibration. The Quick Chain Adjuster allows the user to adjust the tension of the chain without the use of tools. Check out the ways you can use this outdoor equipment to get all your yard work done with ease.
