54 year old female, I handle this pole saw with ease. Have used it all day cutting limbs effortlessly. Goes through oil but that is to be expected as the reservoir is tiny. Keep it clean, sharp and don’t let your oil run out. It won’t let you down.
I used it yesterday for cutting several hardwood trunks from 4 - 8" dia. Even though I only have a 24Ah battery, it completed the job. However, the auto oiler leaks - had to use an oil can to lubricate the chain.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Keng It is normal for oil to seep from the saw when not in use. To prevent seepage, empty the oil tank after each use then run for one minute. When storing the unit for a long period of time (three months or longer) be sure the chain is lightly lubricated; this will prevent rust on the chain and bar sprocket. We also recommend every week of use; reverse the guide bar on the saw to distribute the wear for maximum bar life. The bar should be cleaned every day of use and checked for wear and damage. Lubricating the guide bars weekly with a sprocket at their tip; using a grease syringe, in the lubricating hole. Remember to turn the guide bar and check that the lubrication holes and chain groove are free from impurities.

My favorite things about this saw is the light weight and power. I have cut numerous trees down on my property and taken it on hikes to help clear the trail and it's performance, light weight, and small size make it a must have.
