Electric chainsaws have always been clean and quiet, but they’ve generally lacked the brawn of their gas-powered brethren. The Oregon PowerNow CS250E 40-volt Max cordless chainsaw shatters these shop-worn stereotypes, delivering a powerful, muscular performance with every cut. The PowerNow is equipped with a long-lasting lithium-ion endurance battery pack and a tough 14-inch bar. As a result, the PowerNow can power through logs as large as 10 to 12 inches, or trim up to 250 2- to 3-inch branches nonstop on a single charge. Whether you’re removing trees, cleaning up after a storm, pruning large branches, or clearing debris from property, the PowerNow chainsaw is up to the challenge.

Power Without the Hassle

The PowerNow chainsaw starts instantly with the pull of a trigger: no frustrating pull cords, no messy gas cans, and no slow warm-up times. The chainsaw is also much quieter than gas-powered chainsaws, and is completely silent between cuts. And at just under 11 pounds, the PowerNow is easy to wield whether you’re cutting a tree trunk below you or a tree branch above.

More importantly, the PowerNow offers these hassle-free benefits without sacrificing an ounce of power. The chainsaw cuts with no-fade strength, so you can keep cutting with the same intensity even as the battery drains to a quarter charge or less. Plus, the lithium-ion battery pack holds its charge for months at a time when inactive, so the PowerNow chainsaw is ready when you are. You can also keep additional PowerNow battery packs on hand for bigger jobs, as the interchangeable packs swap out in seconds.

The chainsaw comes with a built-in PowerSharp chain sharpening system, so you’ll never cut with a dull chain again. When the chain starts to lose its edge, simply pull the PowerSharp lever for three to five seconds with the saw running and the chain will work like new.

To protect you while cutting, the PowerNow includes such features as a built-in safety chain brake, a low kickback chain/guide bar, a safety trigger interlock, and a patent-pending control board with overload and heat protection.
