Safety is an integral part of using a chainsaw. Electric chainsaws have several features that make them safer for casual users than their gas-powered, corded chainsaw counterparts. Electrical chainsaws feature lower chain speeds and are equipped with chains that run only when you’re actively cutting with your saw, as well as bars that measure no longer than 18 inches. One great example of an electric, cordless chainsaw is the new CRAFTSMAN V60 Cordless 16-inches Brushless Chainsaw (also known as the CMCCS660E1 model).
The CRAFTSMAN V60 Cordless 16-inches Brushless Chainsaw weighs 12.4 lbs, or 9.8 lbs without its battery. It’s chain pitch measures 3/8″ inches and its chain gauge is 0.043″ inches thick.

The CRAFTSMAN V60 Cordless 16-Inches Brushless Chainsaw features a high efficiency brushless motor for powerful performance to maximize runtime and motor life, allowing users to power through any yardwork.
