The Milwaukee® M18 FUEL™ 12" Top Handle Chainsaw cuts faster than 35cc gas, delivers the power to cut hardwoods, and eliminates the headaches associated with gas engines. The saw is designed to meet the performance, durability, and ergonomic needs of the professional arborist, power utility linemen, and landscape maintenance professional. M18 FUEL™ technology allows the saw to reach full throttle in under 1 second providing ultimate control and cut faster than 35cc gas for increased application speed. The POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor maintains speed under heavy loads without bogging down to outperform small gas engines and higher voltage systems. In addition to outperforming gas competitors, the saw eliminates all of the headaches associated with gas engines, such as pull starts, noise levels, emissions, and regular maintenance. The REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence enables full-circle communication between the tool and battery, providing you with unmatched levels of performance, protection, and productivity. The M18™ REDLITHIUM™ HIGH OUTPUT™ XC 8.0 Battery (not included) provides efficient power delivery giving you longer runtime in application with the ability to make 150 cuts per charge in 4" x4" Cedar. The saw has a professionally demanded feature set including an easy access chain tensioner, automatic oiler, metal bucking spikes, onboard scrench storage, lanyard loop, and climbing scabbard.
