CS300 Cordless Chainsaw
When using the CS300 chainsaw, how long does the battery last?
The 4.0 Ah Battery Pack will last up to 400 cuts per charge in 2 to 3 inch (5 to 7 cm) diameter limbs. This
performance may vary with user technique, chain sharpness, size, and type of wood. The 2.6 Ah Battery Pack
will make up to 250 cuts. Cuts per charge will drop significantly with increasing diameter wood. The new 6.0
Ah Battery pack will bring 50% more run time compared with the 4.0 Ah Battery pack.
What is PowerSharp® (the red lever) and how does it work?
PowerSharp is a chain sharpening system that is built-in to Oregon chainsaw models. When the chain is dull
or not cutting fast enough, bring the chainsaw to full speed, pull the red lever for 3 to 5 seconds, and the chain
will work like new. Expect approximately 10 to 20 resharpenings on an individual PowerSharp® chain
depending on how much the chain was damaged prior to sharpening.
Can a non-PowerSharp® type chain be used on the CS300 chainsaw?
Yes. Other chains can be used on the chainsaw; however, the integrated sharpening feature will only work
with PowerSharp chain. When installing another chain type, remove the sharpening stone as non-
PowerSharp chains can be damaged by operating the red lever when a sharpening stone is installed. For the
CS300, 3/8-in. Low Profile™, .050″ gauge chain with 56 drive links can be used as an alternate chain.
Can I put a shorter or longer guide bar on the saw?
It is not recommended to install a guide bar longer than 16 inches (40 cm) onto the CS300. The CS300
chainsaw has been designed with a 16 inch (40 cm) guide bar as the optimal length. Performance will
decrease with a longer guide bar. Shorter guide bars with an A041 tail mount can be fitted to the CS300.
Does the chainsaw use bar and chain oil?
