The OREGON PowerNow CS250S6 40V Max* Chainsaw Kit with Standard Battery Pack is a lithium ion battery-powered chainsaw that delivers a combination of performance and features that makes it a true alternative to many gas-powered chainsaws. For removing trees, cleaning up after a storm, pruning large branches or clearing debris from property, you can depend on the OREGON PowerNow 40V MAX* Chainsaw. The OREGON PowerNow Chainsaw, with its lithium ion battery pack, offers instant starting without a pull cord, powerful cutting with no-fade power, and long runtime. It is a smarter, quieter way to work free from the hassles of gasoline or cords. When not in use, the lithium ion battery pack holds a charge for months at a time, so the PowerNow Chainsaw is ready when you are. Equipped with a 14-inch bar, the PowerNow Chainsaw can power through logs as large as 10 to 12-inches. For smaller cuts, the CS250S6 chainsaw goes non-stop, cutting up to 125 two to three inch branches on a single charge. This performance may vary with user technique, chain sharpness, size and type of wood. The PowerNow Chainsaw is much quieter than gas-powered chainsaws in use and is silent between cuts. At 11 pounds, the PowerNow Chainsaw is lightweight, easily portable and offers ergonomic comfort. Not only is the PowerNow Chainsaw powerful, but it is free from the hassles of gasoline or power cords. The PowerNow Chainsaw starts instantly with the pull of a trigger – no pull cords, no gas, and no warm-up times. The PowerNow Chainsaw features the PowerSharp built-in chain sharpening system so you’ll never cut with a dull chain again. When the chain dulls, simply pull the PowerSharp lever for 3 to 5 seconds with the saw running and the chain will work like new. The OREGON PowerNow CS250S6 Chainsaw Kit features the 1.25Ah B500S 40V MAX* Battery Pack. The B500S has no memory effect, charge maintenance and full discharge is NOT necessary to retain consistent capacity throughout the life of the battery. A completely discharged B500S battery pack will take approximately 60 minutes to charge. (*Fully charged battery voltage measured without a workload is 40 volts. Nominal voltage is 37)

Electric chainsaws have always been clean and quiet, but they’ve generally lacked the brawn of their gas-powered brethren. The Oregon PowerNow CS250-S6 40-volt Max cordless chainsaw shatters these shop-worn stereotypes, delivering a powerful, muscular performance with every cut. With its tough 14-inch bar, the PowerNow can power through logs as large as 10 to 12 inches, or cut up to 125 to 250 2- to 3-inch branches nonstop on a single charge depending on standard or endurance battery. Whether you’re removing trees, cleaning up after a storm, pruning large branches, or clearing debris from property, the PowerNow chainsaw is up to the challenge.

Part of Oregon’s PowerNow 40-volt Max battery platform, the CS250-S6 trimmer comes with a standard battery pack (1.25 Ah) — providing up to 60 minutes of continuous use — as well as a charger. It’s also available in a model with an extended battery pack (2.4 Ah) as well as a version without a battery pack or charger — a great option if you’ve already purchased a 40-volt Max battery (or several batteries) with other Oregon cordless tools.

Power Without the Hassle

The PowerNow chainsaw starts instantly with the pull of a trigger: no frustrating pull cords, no messy gas cans, and no slow warm-up times. The chainsaw is also much quieter than gas-powered chainsaws, and is completely silent between cuts. And weighing at 11 pounds (with optional standard battery pack), the CS250-S6 chainsaw is easy to wield whether you’re cutting a tree trunk below you or a tree branch above.

More importantly, the CS250-S6 offers these hassle-free benefits without sacrificing an ounce of power. The chainsaw cuts with no-fade strength, so you can keep cutting with the same intensity even as the battery drains to a quarter charge or less. Plus, the lithium-ion PowerNow 40-volt Max battery pack holds its charge for months at a time when inactive, so the CS250-S6 chainsaw is ready when you are. You can also keep additional PowerNow battery packs on hand for bigger jobs, as the interchangeable packs swap out in seconds.

Built-in PowerSharp sharpening system — from dull to sharp in 3 to 5 seconds (view larger).

Sharp and Safe

The chainsaw comes with a built-in PowerSharp chain sharpening system, so you’ll never cut with a dull chain again. When the chain starts to lose its edge, simply pull the PowerSharp lever for three to five seconds with the saw running and the chain will work like new.

To protect you while cutting, the PowerNow includes such features as a built-in safety chain brake, a low kickback chain/guide bar, a safety trigger interlock, and a patent-pending control board with overload and heat protection.
