WE USED IT FOR AT TRAILER PARK TO CLEAN BRUSH ALONG THE SHORE. I'M 74 YEARS OLD. I USE IT TO TRIM TREES AND CUT CAMP FIRE WOOD. IT'S LIGHT AND IS POWERFUL ENOUGH TO CUT 10IN WOOD
I purchased this saw to help clearing light brush at the rear of our property. My gas powered 16" saw was too heavy for the job, and my it was too far (about 180') for my corded electric saw. most of the brush and vines were about 1" to 1-1/2". This saw was perfect for the job; light enough to easily use for several hours, and made short work of these vines and brush. vines and branches from 1-1/2" to 2" were a bit difficult and I needed to fire up the gas saw for anything over 2". Stuff under 1/2" was a bit too springy and I needed a pair of hand loppers for that. The saw does leak a little oil, but that's pretty much the nature of all chain saws, and this one leaks a lot less than my old corded electric pole saw. I would happily buy another.
I am a 75 year old woman, and it is light enough for me to work with it. Also, I never did anything with a chain saw before it came, so was a bit nervous, but no reason was found to continue being fearful!! It is just what I need to get rid of some of the small trees that have come up on our property!
Purchased this item several months ago and have used it to cut down and section about 30 trees which were up to 6" in diameter. Even used it to cut the base of a large thick old yucca plant. It is lightweight and easy to handle. Hasn't let me down once.
I bought this for my 80 year old mom. The battery lasted much longer than I expected and I was surprised how well it cut even larger pieces. The one drawback is that the battery is difficult to remove from the saw when it is time to recharge - almost impossible for my mom to do herself.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Kala
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are glad to read that overall, you and your mom have been enjoying this chainsaw. We apologize for the issue you've experienced with the battery compartment. The battery does require a firm pull to release. You may need to push the battery back in slightly to release the tension, then pull down on the battery lock tab; the battery should then pop up. If the battery has been properly aligned with the rails, you should be able to remove it without issues. I hope this helps.
Bought during storm that knocked down allot of trees. Was skeptical until i ran for 1 hours and still had half 60 volts charge left. Went and got a second one so friend could help. Only negative is you need to drain chain oil when Done or it will leak all over sitting.
