What size branches can it cut?

The 8-inch bar is suited to limbs and logs well under the bar length. Expect clean cuts on small branches and kindling-sized wood, not thick trunks.

Is it battery or corded?

It is an electric saw; check the listing for whether your unit runs on a battery pack or a cord. Either way it starts instantly without a pull cord.

Yes, the handheld design is made for one-handed use on light cuts. Keep your other hand clear of the bar and wear eye and hand protection.

No. It handles pruning, brush and kindling, but thick trunks and long cutting sessions need a full-size saw.

Like any chainsaw, the chain needs correct tension and bar oil. Check tension before use and keep the chain sharp for clean cuts.
