Then you'll want to take a look at the variety of models offered by Poulan chain saws.
Dewalt 12 Saw
Homeowner's Friend
Many homeowners prefer to do yard work and upkeep themselves, and a chain saw can be a valuable tool. There are the occasional trees that need to be cut down or perhaps limbed, as well as other chores where a saw would be very useful.
Poulan chain saws are available in gas-powered or electric models, and there has been an increase in the number of homeowners who are choosing an electric saw. Electric saws tend to be much lighter and simpler to use than their gas-powered counterparts, especially since an electric chain-type saw requires no gas and oil mixing.
Reviews have been overwhelmingly positive for the Poulan Pro 400E electric chain saw. Homeowners state that the saw may sit for months on a shelf in the garage until needed, but it continually starts up easily and runs well, cutting through several diameters and types of trees and brush. Some owners use the saw to cut up firewood for heating as well, and advise that the saw cuts through good-sized trees with ease.
Gas-powered chain saws that sit for extended periods of time may have problems starting and running, since the aging gas and oil mixture in the tank can foul the carburetor.
If you're in the market for a saw but will only need to use it a few times a year, then an electric Poulan chain saw may be the answer for you.
Logging Tool for the Professional
Poulan offers a wide variety of gas-powered saws that are prized by loggers and others who professionally use a saw.
The Poulan Pro series includes saws in several bar lengths, with 35 to 46 cc 2 cycle gas engines. Bar lengths range from 16 to 20 inches. One drawback that several have noted is that the bar oil tends to drip off the bar when stored on a shelf. Bar oil is necessary for the saw chain to move smoothly on the bar, but the dripping oil may be an issue, and you may want to provide a tray for the oil to collect on. Others have mentioned starting issues, with the pull start cord not retracting properly.
Reviews for the gas-powered Poulan chain saws seem to be mixed, with some people loving the saw while others do not. Of course, it may simply be that people who have bought the saw are not used to a professional saw. A homeowner using a professional saw for the first time may not have the experience and know-how needed to use it properly.
Poulan chain saws are available at most home improvement stores and online. Be sure to read the reviews before you make your choice, so you can avoid any unpleasant surprises!
