“Best Buy” Electric Chainsaw

“Best Buy” Electric Chainsaw WOODLOT EQUIPMENT Chain Saws Jim Ruen La Crescent Minn : “Makita’s cordless chainsaw makes cleaning up brush and thinning out trees a lot more fun It uses the same batteries as my cordless Makita 7 1/4-in circular saw “The chainsaw is so quiet that my wife who was working on the other side of our house couldn’t hear it run Without its twin batteries the saw weighs in at only 10 6 lbs It has all the standard features such as a chain brake Take your finger off the switch and the saw chain comes to a standstill in less than a second In fact the company strongly recommends taking it in for service if the saw chain takes more than a second to stop “The 14-in bar is ideal for trimming away branches and light trunk work I sliced off 10 pine tree trunks of 8 to 10-in dia almost as fast as I could walk between them “Even better I had battery power to spare I headed over to a pile of 15 to 20 in dia walnut trees that had been grubbed out earlier this summer I trimmed away branches and began slicing up larger branches and trunks for firewood making it through several before running out of power “The Makita is well designed for ease of maintenance A lever on the sprocket cover means no tool is needed to install or change saw chains Likewise the tension-adjusting dial is easy to use Battery check lights and capacity indicators let you know when it is time to recharge “After 40 years of dealing with pull starters and fuel mixes every time I have a little trimming to do the Makita cordless chainsaw is a real treat to use ”
