Earthwise PS44008 6.5-Amp 8-Inch Corded Electric Pole

Chain keeps coming off..it's easy to put back on but frustrating to have to keep doing it.

The oil container is small and tops up really fast. So, either go slow, or have rag nearby. Also, if you let it run dry, like any chainsaw, it will ruin the blade and it won't cut well. Remember to add that oil after an hour, or so, of use.The chain is tightened correctly, when you loosen the nut on the side, pull it out so the chain can only be lifted about 1/4" inch from the groove (about middle way). Anything more than 1/2" is too loose and can come off. Anything tighter than say, 1/8" is too tight and it won't spin easily.Using a higher gauge extension cord is important. If the cord is really long, like 100 feet, you need about 14 gauge. If short, say 25 feet you can get away with a lighter gauge, like 18. Remember heavier gauge is smaller number and required for longer lengths.Also, remember to wear a helmet and at least protective eyewear. I had, what looked like a small branch fall into my face. Painful! Finally, cleanup as you go. I made another mistake when I had tons of branches piling up and I cut the extension cord since I didn't see it. Not brilliant. Don't do what I did!Keep safe. Think. Go slow. It's a great tool, but can be dangerous in multiple ways. If you never used one, have an experienced person show you how. If you want to try it on your own, do a lower.branch and let gravity do the work. Don't force it. Also, the best place to cut is certainly not at the tip, but closer back to the motor, so it won't kick.

It works for very high branches as it has a really long telescopic pole. I would have given it 5 stars, but I was disappointed that for cutting up felled branches and logs the length of the handle/saw cannot be shortened for close work.

Great product, ease of assembly and already put to use.

Stay Away. This product did not keep the angle of the cutter when set by the buttons on each side of the cutter body. There's no adjustment to tighten the angle and it flopped around for me.

We purchased this Earthwise pole chainsaw because we have owned and used an Earthwise TC70001 11-Inch 8.5-Amp Corded Electric Tiller/Cultivator for over 7 years to prepare a large raised bed garden every year.The tiller is so reliable that we wanted to try this Earthwise corded pole saw before considering anything else. When we received it, we noted that everything fit together well and the assembled saw is very solid without feeling heavy.We removed, reinstalled and adjusted the chain before the first use, just to see how that worked, and the instructions were clear so we know we did it correctly.We had several 3 to 4 inch dead branches to remove in a plum tree. This saw made that job safe and simple. While standing on the ground and holding the pole as instructed in the manual, we cut off each branch a foot away from the final cut so that most of the weight of the branch would be removed so that the final cut was clean without tearing the bark on the underside of the cut.Holding the pole firmly so that the saw would not fall after cutting through each branch, this Earthwise pole saw cut the 4" branch in seconds, like a hot knife through butter, and yes, that's a cliche, but so what, too bad, that's just what it was like.

This thing cuts like butter! I was able to clear some nice sized limbs from trees near my home. It is heavy towards the saw when you fully extend but overall, this is worth ever dollar spent on it.

I wouldn't advise purchasing this saw. I bought it because it was the least expensive but longest reach. The saw portion is quite heavy and makes difficult to maneuver. Along with the safety which is far from the trigger, I rarely feel safe using this saw and often have pain in my back when I'm done.

Very happy with how well this extendable chainsaw cuts limbs, branches, etc.

Love the this little chain saw!!!Little heavier then I expected!!!I just got it and I've used it a lot already!Yoy just need a little chain oil and you are good to go!!!Definitely recommend it if you have trees 🌳 in your yarda

facile a travail
