About Oregon CS1500 18-inch 15 Amp, Self-Sharpening Corded Electric Chainsaw
Overall Feedback:
92% positive
81% liked the safety features
The chainsaw has two great safety features - quick stopping action of the chain and hand guard shield/stop.
I appreciate the safety feature of the chainsaw, specifically the sprocket system that prevents rotating once the chain is off, which prevented any harm to me.
95% were satisfied with the vibration levels, but 5% weren't
I faced issues with the chainsaw due to vibration, specifically with the chain tensioner getting loose.
83% found it easy to maneuver, while 17% raised concerns
I faced difficulty in maneuvering the chainsaw while cutting smaller branches of rododendrum due to their flexible and tough nature.
The toolless chain tensioner seemed great at first, but in use, it catches on random stuff like branches or nearby logs, causing the chain to become slack. It also prevents me from really cranking down the tightness of the bar cover, meaning the bar wobbles a lot.
92% liked the engine power, however 8% raised concerns
I can use the chainsaw with good power even with 300 feet of 12 gage extension cords plugged into a dedicated 20A circuit.
When I work on more than one log at a time, the motor burns out.
