Alternatively, you can sharpen your chainsaw blade using files, or even a grinding tool of some kind, and again, we have a ‘how to’ article on that very subject. So, feel free to take a look and get a taste for the kind of maintenance required to keep an electric chainsaw in working condition. Electric chain saws start easily and are convenient to use. However, the situation changes when such a wood cutting tool is very heavy. So, if need to cover lots of wooden logs, then choose a model with low heft and suitable features. Ease of Use Toolless tension adjustment is a common thing these days, but it works better on some products than on others. I’m happy to say that the adjuster on this chainsaw works well, as does the automatic oiling, and the anti-vibration features. The high torque and fast chain speed might catch inexperienced users off guard, which could lead to accidents or injuries. It’s best to use two hands for all cuts until becoming familiar with the saw.

With regards to how long you can expect it to last, the high end Oregon bar is literally rotting away before failing 😀 That should tell you something about how well the motor and cogs to deliver the chain revs are built. You could replace the bar in a couple of years and it’ll still feel like new. That’s been my experience for sure. Oregon has some different chainsaws, but it can be hard to tell them apart unless you know exactly what you are looking for. There are minor differences between their top three choices, which we will break down below. Oregon Self-Sharpening CS1500 18-inch 15 Amp Self-Sharpening Corded Electric Chainsaw: Under their hoods, both the CS1400 and CS1500 electric chainsaws provide oomphs of power, so you can cut more in less time. The cordless chainsaw has stabilizing tip protector that also has grip teeth that provides maximum control while cutting under the branches. So, you will never notice any branch damage. With such built and features, the Bosch cordless electric chainsaw is useful for multiple purposes including cutting firewood, waste management and pruning without any trouble.This saw weighs a relatively modest 14.2 pounds with the battery, bar, and chain installed. For extended battery life, push-button power-boost mode increases output for larger, harder cuts, while normal mode preserves the charge during normal cutting tasks. A tool-free chain tensioner eliminates the need for a chainsaw tool and keeps downtime to a minimum. The 7.5Ah battery works with all Husqvarna battery tools, boosting total power efficiency.

Plus, the CS1500 chainsaw arrives fully assembled at your doorstep, but some easy assembly is required with the CS1400 chainsaw. Oregon is one of the leading manufacturers of chains. It’s the reason CS1400 either meets or exceeds your expectations with its 40 cm guide bar having 4.7 m/sec chain speed. The blade and chain have an inbuilt tensioning ring so that you manage them without using any special tool. Moreover, it features an automatic oil distributor that lubricates the chainsaw and prevents early wear. Clever design: Built in chain tightening system doesn't require any tools; Oil level window and front hand guard protects from flying debris The first thing you will like about this electric chainsaw is it’s ready to use nature. You don’t have to attach its bar or adjust the chain, because the woodcutter comes pre-assembled. Simply take out its bar sheath, plug in its power cable and start cutting the wooden logs. To offer you some extra peace of mind, this best cheap electric chainsaw comes with a warranty of 3 years. It’s also an indication that its makers trust this machine. If you don’t abuse or force the chainsaw and let the machine work at its speed, then be assured that it will give you best cutting results than any other model available in the same price range.

Conclusion

GCS1800 has a heft of mere 4.45 k, which is evenly balanced due to its dual handles. Both the grips are ergonomic and maintain your comfort level. Moreover, its low vibration operation keeps you away from fatigue and reduces stress on your arms. The chainsaw comes disassembled so you will have to attach the bar and the chain. Despite the somewhat confusing directions, this should only take you an average of 10 minutes to accomplish. I’d say that this electric chainsaw feels a little bit on the heavy side, but that it also feels solid, and I can put up with a little more weight if it means a product is not going to fall apart on me for a while.
