Bucking logs, with a cord, a battery or gas · review
A battery saw with a stated 40cc gas equivalent and up to 130 cuts on a 4x4, with 671 ratings at 4.6 out of 5.
EGO states a 16 inch bar, a 56V 2.5Ah battery, a 40cc gas equivalent and up to 130 cuts on a 4x4. It is rated IPX4.
A 4x4 is small next to a 14 inch oak round. It suits smaller amounts or a spare battery.
Wear chainsaw chaps, eye and ear protection and gloves. Keep the chain sharp, and cut on a sawbuck or log stand, never with a log held by a foot. Read the kickback section of the manual.
