something about.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The new crop of battery operated chain
saws are very impressive. Note, they are ideal for 'limbing' a tree (taking
apart when it's down on the ground.) You can move around a tree and
the saw is not turning or anything. Then, press the button, cut the
limb, and the saw stops again. They use a great trick to be more efficient
at cutting. Their blades and kerfs are about half of a gas saw's.
This means they have to cut less wood to do the same job. It
mean less sawdust as well. (Note, modern vacuum cleaners do this
also. They have narrower pickup area, so the same size motor is effectively
more powerful in a smaller area.)</font>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">It works and runs great. BUT,
if you weren't already in Dewalt battery land, I think the Milwaukee chainsaw
is a little heavier duty. It has two bar nuts where the dewalt's
flaw is it 'toolless' single bolt set up. It's great for homeowners
that don't really push the saw, but I had problems with it when the bar
gets a little bit of sawdust in the bar grove. It's easy to fix,
but it requires a quick chain removal.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">For what you are talking about, I think
you'll find an electric chainsaw to be the cat's meow! No gas, no
pull start, you get to buy another tool, and then you can get other tools
now that you have the batteries.</font>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Dewalt does have batteries in 30V, 60V
and 120V and the can share batteries!</font>
