Saw chain rechargeable battery: description, characteristics, types and reviews of the owners

The chain battery saw is a portable universal tool that works by an electric motor, powered by a battery. Such devices can be compared in terms of noise and environmental compatibility with electrical analogs, but the power of this equipment is quite small. Such units are very effective in small suburban areas. The saw chain battery can not completely replace the full-size instrument, but it is convenient to use it, and in some cases it is necessary. This is due to the fact that you can operate the saw even inside a small workshop.

After the manufacturers have transferred these devices to a 36-volt platform, they can no longer be perceived as a toy, as they act as full-fledged and fairly powerful tools.

Description of saw Makita HCU02ZX2

The Makita chain saw is very popular on the market. This is due to its outstanding characteristics, including a 30-centimeter tire, a chain speed of 8.4 meters per second (which is true without load), and also light weight, which is only 5 kilograms. The speed of sawing is quite high, it is possible to attribute this parameter to the highest estimate.

The consumer has the opportunity to purchase a tool with a 36-volt battery or adapter, which is designed to enable such tools to be operated by owners of 18-volt. An additional advantage is that the adapter has charge level indicators. The saw has small dimensions, but it provides an impressive speed of rotation of the chain, which remains high even under the influence of the load.

Disadvantages of the model

The Makita cordless chain saw described above has some drawbacks, which are expressed in unsuccessful ergonomics. The handle is too high, so the center of gravity is shifted back, and the small distance between the rear and front handles complicates the pressure application during operation. It can not be said that the front handle is also placed successfully, during operation the saw rotates relative to the plane of the cut.

Many users argue that it is convenient to work when the handle is in the same plane as the tire. This allows you to press without turning. Ultimately, in order to avoid bias, the master must resist the turn, trying to hold the handle. If you use an adapter and two 18-volt batteries, it may seem that the rear of the equipment is quite impressive. If you want to achieve a balance, it is best to use a device with a 36-volt battery.

Positive feedback about the model

The saw chain battery cord described above, according to users, has very useful functions, including effective chain brake, tire tension adjustment without an additional tool, and the presence of an inertial brake. Among other things, this tool is often chosen by buyers for the reason that it allows the master to regulate the supply of oil.

Oregon PowerNow CS250 Specifications

The length of the tire in this version is 35 centimeters, and the rotation speed of the circuit is 12 meters per second, which is true without load. If a 2.4-ampere-hour battery is installed inside, the weight of the equipment is equivalent to 5.5 kilograms. This device provides a somewhat worse cutting speed, compared to the model described above, on one charge you can produce 34 cuts.

In this version, all the characteristics that were listed are ideally combined, but the power-speed ratio can not be called quite successful. This negatively affects the performance. The company could not find the golden mean, providing the tool with a high speed of the chain, the power of which is often not enough. This causes the saw to jam during operation. If you often need to saw raw wood, then the tool will show itself from the best side, but without jamming, you will not be able to do.

Reviews about the model

The chain cord saw as described above, according to customers, stands out among its competitors with the built-in grindstone operating in the operation of the Powersharp chain. To ensure that the teeth are in contact with the stone that is located near the driving sprocket, the engineers have made their height and length longer. Eventually, the teeth acquired an aggressive look, they cut deeper into the wood, requiring the need for higher power. Users note that this circumstance makes it difficult to start sawing, which is especially important if the tire is inserted into the intended cut. Professionals using this equipment emphasize that it is especially difficult to handle twigs and branches with it.

Additional characteristics of the model

Cordless chain saws, whose price is slightly less, compared to gasoline, have many features. They need to be taken into account in the selection process. If it is a question of the above described model, it is important to know that it is equipped with the longest in the class 35-centimeter bus, which is supplemented by an effective chain brake. As practice shows, the adjustment of tension can be accompanied by certain difficulties, for this purpose it is recommended to use a screwdriver.

Description of the saw of the brand Ryobi RY40510

Ryobi cordless chain saw is equipped with a 30-centimeter tire, and the speed without load is 3.4 meters per second. If you use equipment with a 1.5-amper hour battery, the weight of the device will be 3.9 kilograms. The weight increases to 4.4 kg, if the operation is carried out with a 2.6-amper-hour battery. The cutting speed in this case is even worse if we compare it with the above-described model. On one charge you can make 17 cuts. The variant of this saw can be called budgetary, it is pleasant in operation, but it differs by slowness. If before you from time to time stand up fairly simple tasks for cutting, then this model will be a good option.

Selecting the equipment described in the article, you must consider the main varieties of this tool. On sale it is possible to meet accumulator devices which are supplied with chains of two basic kinds, among them transverse and longitudinal. Each is designed to cut wood across or along. Their difference is the angle of attack of the cutting links, and the chain itself consists of links of three types, namely, connecting, leading and cutting.
