Powerful Four HP Motor Tackles Yard Maintenance and Cleanup
Powered by an efficient four HP electric engine, the Pro 400E is perfect for cutting firewood, pruning thick tree branches and bushes, cutting through fallen trees, and tackling other around-the-house chores. It also has a lightweight, portable design that minimizes strain on your body, even after extended use.

Electric Power for No-Hassle Maintenance
Because the 400E is an electric saw, it doesn't require priming pumps or gas, which can cause messes and strong odors in your yard. And thanks to the automatic chain oiler and large sight window, it's easy to maintain the proper lubrication level while you work. The 400E also operates at a lower noise level than many other models, making yard work more pleasant for you and your neighbors.

Innovative Features for Precision, Control, and Safety
The 400E includes an 18-inch steel guide bar for precision and control, a comfortable trigger for instant power, and important safety features like an inertia blade brake, anti-kickback bar tip, and a wrap-around handle to help protect users from injury.

Double Insulated for Safety
For additional safety, the 400E is double insulated to help protect against electric shock. Double insulation construction consists of two separate layers of electrical insulation instead of grounding. As a result, if you use an extension cord with your saw, it can be plugged into any standard 120-volt electrical outlet.

The 400E is backed by a one-year warranty.

Customer Reviews:
Very Good Chainsaw
I originally bought the Poulan Pro 42 CC 18" Gas Chainsaw but after reading the reviews here I took it back without even taking it out of the case and bought this one instead. I am very glad I did. I only need a chainsaw for around the house to cut fallen trees or the odd job. So the idea of keeping a can of mixed gas and oil didn't appeal to me. Not to mention the saw would sit on the shelf for months at a time between uses and I didn't care for the starting problems or engine repairs of a gas chainsaw. However I was worried that this electric chainsaw would not be powerful enough. I had 2 fallen trees with a bases of about 15 inches that I needed to cut into firewood immediately. This chainsaw performed perfectly. I realize that it was new so the chain was nice and sharp but it still had no problem cutting through everything quickly. I loved being able to start it and stop it at will without the hassle of priming a gas engine or overheating problems or running out of gas or messing...

Great 4HP chainsaw for $90
As long as you can use it within extension cord reach, this is a great tool. the chain oiler is very good - the chain is always nice and wet without spraying oil, which is exactly the way I like it. And, of course with electric, there's no gas mixing and start up problems, and the saw is considerably quieter and lighter than a comparable 2-cycle powered tool. But, keep in mind, this is not a toy -- lighter saws can kickback easier, but on the otherhand they are easier to control as well. Regarding the extension cord, I was worried that 4HP (4HP = 2984W = 27A @ 110V) would draw a lot of current. But I've had no problem using my regular old orange 14ga 100' outdoor extension cord. It seems to work just fine, and doesn't get warm even after an extended duty cycle. The saw only draws full power under extreme motor loading situations -- like if the chain is binding or dull or something....

A GREAT little saw!
This is a great little saw and a real value at the price. It's powerful enough for the typical yard cleanup jobs you run into, and it's clean and easy to use, since all you have to worry about is keeping the chain oil reservoir full. This is NOT a production-style saw that you can take into the woods and cut fire wood. It's a yard maintenance tool-- and a good one. This saw more than justifies the "Best Buy" rating Consumer Reports gave it. I'm very glad I bought it, and I'd do it again.

'Snow' Crews Get Power To The People

Chainsaw-wielding Con Ed crews made steady progress restoring power to thousands of homes in New York yesterday, days after heavy, wet snow toppled trees and snapped leafy branches from Maryland to Maine.

Officials at the beleaguered utility company said workers had restored approximately 100,000 -- or more than 75 percent -- of the approximately 129,000 customers in New York City and Westchester who experienced power outages from Saturday’s freak storm.

In New Jersey, out of Con Ed territory, about 338,000 customers were still without power, down from nearly 700,000.

But in hard-hit Connecticut, about 690,000 customers were still without power, down from more than 830,000, a number that broke the state record set when Tropical Storm Irene blew through in August.

Connecticut Light & Power President Jeff Butler said 486 line crews and 284 tree crews were at work.

“Two months ago, many of these customers faced lengthy outages, [and] are once again facing prolonged outages,” he said. “Certainly not only the frustration, but the challenges of living without power are -- especially as the weather changes -- significant. We recognize that.”

Finding a backyard-friendly chainsaw

To fill the gap, manufacturers like Husqvarna, Poulan, Stihl, Troy-Bilt, Worx and others provide lighter, quieter, electric- and battery-powered models. The engines are smaller and the chain bars are shorter, which makes the saws easier to handle.

Amazon has liberal exchange policies, so I figured I was fairly safe. My Remington electric arrived in four days, and I discovered I liked it even before trying it. The saw is removable, giving me a regular chain saw plus the pole saw in one tool.
