| Chain Saws Direct Recommendation |
| By Chain Saws Direct |
Husqvarna makes fine saws, and this electric model has many of the same features as their gas units.
An automatic chain oiler keeps the chain and bar from fouling when cutting larger logs or trees; and the engine sits lengthwise to the bar for better balance and so you can trim in tight places.
As long as you're within reach of an electrical outlet or generator, this saw will handle all but the most rigorous, lumberjack grade, cutting jobs.
Its powerful 13 watt motor can take on sturdy limbs and logs; and since the electric motor has no emissions (besides sawdust!) it is legal in states with pollution controls such as California.

| Add bar oil and start cutting! |
| By ROBERT (Granite Falls, WA) |
I received my Husqvarna 316E on Thursday June 10, 2010, assembled the bar and chain, added bar oil and after plugging in, fell a 20 inch diameter dead fir tree.
What a relief not to have to fight with oil-gas mixture, noise, and the obnoxious smell of 2-stroke exhaust. The 316E cuts as fast as my gas powered chainsaw, also with a 16 inch bar, but with much less hassle.
The care required to move around with the extension cord is a minor problem, in my opinion. It may not be a lumberjack tool, but for a homeowner who needs a reliable chainsaw once in a while, I think it is hard to beat the Husqvarna 316E.
I've been thinking of purchasing an electric chainsaw for quite a while and I'm glad I went with the Husqvarna 316E. I researched many other electric chainsaws and decided on the 316E mainly based on quality of construction and confidence that Husqvarna would deliver a rugged and well built saw.
My purchase with Chain Saws Direct was effortless. The saw arrived right when I was told to expect it. |

| Great Firewood Saw Around the House |
| By Kevin Bedard (Pine, CO) |
I looked for quite awhile before committing to this saw. I'm glad I did my research, because I'm really happy with this electric saw!
I can recommend it for the inertial chain brake (which many cheap saws do not have) as well as the power.
This electric chainsaw does not balk at cutting 16" diameter hardwood logs. It simply goes though them without a whimper.
Yes, this saw might be expensive, but it's made in Norway and after three seasons of cutting firewood, it seems built to last.
I can do nearly everything I want with this saw, whereas friends with cheap electric saws are hampered along the way by the poor power and durability of their saws.
I love how well balanced this saw is because of the in-line motor. I've taken a lot of workload off my MS260 Stihl gas saw with this nice, quiet electric machine!
One suggestion that will help you get more out of this saw and any other high current tool: use heavy power cords that can manage the amperage. Go with at least 14 gauge three conductor cords and 12 gauge for 50 ft. plus runs.
You'll be glad you did. |

| Tricky Chain Saw |
| By Kriss Schrader (Power Equipment Direct, IL) |
The Husqvarna electric 316E chain saw is a great little unit, but it can be kind of tricky when you use it for the first time.
Husqvarna built in a safety feature that works so well you might think the saw won't start.
The chain saw requires you to pull the chain brake all the way back until you hear a click.
Without doing this you will not be able to start the saw, making you think it is dead on arrival.
This is not a light and easy pull on the chain brake, either. You will need to put a little bit of force into it in order to hear the click, but don't think that you are going to break the plastic.
Husqvarna made the chain brake tougher so it doesn't engage itself because of a light bump or tap, interrupting your cutting.
After pulling back on the chain brake, the saw will be fully operational and you will be able to tackle those tough jobs you bought the chain saw for in the first place.
Happy Cutting! |
