Very Impressed

Date:October 15, 2011

"I bought this saw to use in making a firewood processor to try and reduce the amount of bending associated with bucking up firewood for the winter.
I found this saw to be as fast as my gas chainsaw and a lot quieter. Chain oil consumption wasn't noticeably excessive as others have stated.
We bucked up and split 4 cords of birch without a hitch...didn't even have to touch up the teeth and the tooless chain adjustment was a nice treat."

Great for weekend warrior and Pine Beetle logs

Date:September 19, 2011

"A great electric chainsaw for weekend cabin/cottages. Plug it into a large gas generator with a 100' heavy duty (12/3) extension cord and this saw just goes. Cuts no problem through 12" - 16" dead Pine Beetle logs. Faster than my gas chain. Only concern, chain spins for a few seconds after the cut."

Very surprising!

Date:September 11, 2011

"I use gas chainsaws at work so I was a little skeptical about buying this. I brought home a few truck loads of fir and maple that someone cut down but the peices were massive, too large to split. I picked this up on sale to give it a try and because it's a lot less maintenance compared to gas. It cut through the smaller peices (12 inches and less in diamater) effortless. The larger peices I made it through but it took a little patience which is expected with an electric chainsaw. This exceeds the needs of anyone who needs a chainsaw for home use.

Only thing I didn't like is that it eats oil. Need to keep at least 1 full bottle handy when using this. Can't get a better electric chainsaw."

very good buy for the money

Date:June 5, 2011

"Again the gas saw didn't start. Checked out the web site for what was rated well and took a chance on this electric saw.
Very suprised with what it is able to do. Cut down a 40 + foot maple easily. No more worries about a saw running while climbing. Only drawback is the amount of chain oil required, but easily out weighs the gas / oil mixing cost and the constant pull starts needed for a gas machine. Also close to 1/3 the price of a good gas machine.
Could use a detail to hold the end of the extension cord to the machine plug in, but otherwise works great and can cut a medium size tree easily and I know it will start after leaving sit until the next cutting season."

POULAN 16"

Date:May 22, 2011

"This saw cuts well, and fast as my stihl gas saw. The negatives are only that it uses a lot of oil, probably 3-4 times as much as my stihl gas saw. Also the manual is next to useless in terms of the saw. It tells how to cut a tree, but not how to remove the chain or s what size file is required to sharpen the chain."

Glad i bought this

Date:October 14, 2009

"I bought this saw several months ago to use in my yard for light duty work. So far it has performed great. It is well balanced and relatively quiet. Cuts soft and hard wood quite well. You need a bit of pressure, but your not struggling at all.
Goes through chain oil fast. Keep lots on hand."

Don't forget to buy chain & bar oil

Date:September 7, 2009

"Great product.... I just used it for 2 hours to do some "bucking" and performed great.

Don't forget to by OIL!!!

Should be a big red sticker on the box that says buy chain an bar oil.

My unit used almost a full tank of chain oil in about 90 minutes,

Would be 5 stars all the way if t included oil or was properly labelled box saying oil is required."

As Good as a Gas Unit

Date:May 5, 2009

"I was hesitant to pay nearly 50% more for this saw than most competitive electric models but I'm so glad that I did. This unit is more powerful than my old 16" Remington gas chainsaw and much better built. If your needs for a chainsaw are within 100' of a power outlet, I don't know why you would ever put up with the hassles of a gas unit again."

Excellent electric chainsaw

Date:April 30, 2009

"I purchased this saw as my new home had several diseased plum trees in the yard. It was evident that I had to remove the plum trees, plus I needed a saw to perform rough work around the house, etc. I wanted this saw for the convienence of electric without mixing fuel or the fumes of gas, plus the other reviews rated it so well.

I found for an electric saw it was both light and sturdy, very powerful as I easily removed and cut-up aproximately 13 diseased or dead trees. I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it."

work load

Question:

I have 7 cord of wood to cut, most of which is small, 4-7 inches. and medium, 8-12 inches, the logs are all 8ft long, will this electric saw do the job?

Answer:

cut a 40ft maple with at least 8- 12" dia limbs and each of those had multiple 4-6" dia limbs. Cut them all into 16 logs and the chain is still sharp. Make sure you have plenty of oil on hand and keep the machine filled.

Answer:

I used this saw as a back up to my gas model to cut a load of medium size hard wood this summer. At one point, the chain became pinched in the wood and it stopped, but the motor continued to run with a squeeling noise. I got the saw out, it worked for about another face cord then the chain stopped completely with the motor running. I disassembled the saw to find a plastic drum style drive gear had all the teeth stripped off of it. I found a replacement for it on the Poulan Web Site for a little over $30 Cdn. So the saw may make it through the seven cords if you don't jam or pinch the chain in the process and strip the gear. The saw has good power and is easy to use but it should only be used for light duty occasional work, when it's not worth it to fire up a gas model.

Does anyone know how many watts this chain saw requires ?

kshafi

Answer:

Not sure the exact watts, but since it's a big motor at 3.5 HP I 'd your running around 1500 watts. Should have a dedicated electrical line with a GFCI outlet. Runs great off a 2000 watt or higher gas generator

Assuming the answer below regarding amperage is correct, then peak wattage is:
12 Amps x 120 V = 1440 Watts

Why does the saw not come with oil

Question:

This saw requires oil but the saw does not come with oil nor does the box mention that you should be sure to buy oil. The manual says SAE 30 oil is compatible but their preference is for Poulan oil.

I wish would have seen this before purchasing and going round trip to pick up some oil. Should be a big red sticker on the box that says buy chain an bar oil.
