Black and Decker LCS1240 Lithium Ion Chainsaw

Are you tired of disturbing tranquility in your neighborhood while cutting trees or clearing your yard? Black and Decker LCS 1240 Lithium Ion battery Chainsaw provides one of the best solutions for you. I do find a great sense of satisfaction from using this chainsaw not only because of its quiet nature, but also due to its high efficiency coupled with safety features.

It is an awesome feeling to watch a tree that has taken over 50 years to grow, falling down and being subdivided into pieces within just a few minutes!

I have learnt that most people use a chainsaw to cut down firewood or handle much simpler tasks like clearing yards. This type of chainsaw is most convenient for people living in the ranch community who depends on the firewood to heat up the house during cold winter.

One of the outstanding features of Black and Decker LCS 1240 Lithium Ion Chainsaw is the side loaded 40V Lithium ion battery which powers the chainsaw, therefore no need for gas and oil. When you order the chainsaw, it comes with the battery together with a charger.

On just a single charge, the chainsaw can cut up to 60 4X4 lumber cuts. It has a charge indicator that displays the state of charge when charging or while using it. This enables you to plan appropriately based on how far the charge will last.

It has a 12” Oregon bar together with a tool-free tensioning chain that you can easily adjust without using tools. The adjustment of the bar entails both loosening and tightening process. Loosening of the black bar helps in customizing the locking knob on the right side of the chainsaw.

This will subsequently allow the tightening of the orange tensioning knob to ensure proper adjustment of the chain. The chain usually slack and expands slightly during use, hence it is important to frequently tighten it up for efficient cutting.
