Does it come with a battery and charger?

No. It is a bare tool, so you need an EGO 56V ARC Lithium battery and charger, sold separately, unless you already own them.

How many cuts can it make on one charge?

EGO claims up to 330 cuts through 4x4 lumber with the recommended 6.0Ah battery. Expect fewer in hard wood or cold weather.

Is it as powerful as a gas chainsaw?

EGO rates it against a 50cc gas saw, and owners agree it keeps up on branches and small trees. A large pro gas saw still wins on big timber.

What bar length does it use?

It has an 18-inch bar and chain, suited to large branches, stumps and small trees.

How do you tighten the chain?

With the tool-free dial: twist it to set chain tension, with no tools or covers to remove.

Does it work with other EGO 56V batteries?

Yes. It runs on any EGO POWER+ 56V ARC Lithium battery, though the 6.0Ah pack gives the longest runtime.

About the EGO Power+ 18 Inch Chain Saw

The EGO POWER+ 18-inch chainsaw is a cordless electric saw that delivers the power and performance of a 50cc gas chainsaw without the noise, mess, or fumes. It runs on any EGO POWER+ 56V ARC Lithium battery. With the recommended 6.0Ah battery, it makes up to 330 cuts on a 4x4.

A 2500W brushless motor drives the 18-inch bar and chain at speeds up to 22 m/s. The bar and chain are designed for large branches, stumps, and tall trees. Large metal bucking spikes add stability and leverage for controlled cuts.

An LED display lets you control speed modes and check battery charge status. An adjustable LED work light on the front lights the cut at dusk or during power outages. The tool-free chain tensioning system tightens the chain with the twist of a dial, with no disassembly needed.
