Review: انصح بشرائه
Review: Last week, I hired a tree surgeon to cut down an elm tree (30 foot tall, 16 inch trunk at base) close to the house in the front yard, leaving the material as it fell in order to save a couple of hundred bucks on the job by doing the haul off myself. Since my gas powered Stihl had been stolen earlier this year, and thus being chain saw poor at the moment, I decided to order the Black & Decker LCS1020 20V Max Lithium Ion Chainsaw, 10-Inch for this job. I had previously purchased a B&D 20V drill, and had been impressed with its performance using a 1.2 Amp Hour battery, and since I thought it would be nice to have a smaller chain saw on han for odd jobs, pruning, and such, I figured I couldn't go wrong with the purchase of the LCS1020. I am glad to say that I didn't go wrong with this purchase..........I wish I would have bought this a long time ago!!! It took me about 5 1/2 hours to do the job outlined above, making what I would estimate to be around 100 cuts tota , and a total cutting time of about 30-40 minutes on q single full charge of the saw's 2.0 Amp Hour battery (supplied with the saw). I almost finished the job in totalnwith just the one battery charge, but alas, it abandoned me at the end. But then, I simply hooked up the other battery I had on hand (1.2 Amp Hour), and used it for another 5 minutes of cutting time to finish off the job, with the smaller battery still have a lot of charge left to it. Now, the largest size cuts that I was made were small, the biggest being 4-5 inches in diameter, I could tell that the LCS1020 would have been up to the task, but likely without as much battery life time. The light weight of the LCS1020 at 7.2 pounds definitely made the job easier; my other saw at twice the weight would have wore me out! Other things I liked about the LCS1020 were 1) the tool-less chain tensioning mechanism was very easy and held very tight, and 2) the optional notes to use plain vegetable cooking oil for the bar lube that was stated in the instructions. They recommend the option of using vegetable oil as the lubricant especially for use with pruning off limbs from live trees. I went with the vegetable oil largely because I couldn't find my regular chain lube in the garage, and it worked quite well. It does make sense that it would likely be a little more environmentally friendly, I suspect. The manual priming for the lubricant worked well, but I must confess that I wish that it had automatic oiling. Eventually I will wind up replacing my larger Stihl that was stolen, but I am definitely going to hold off on that until I had a definite need for it. I think the LCS1020 will satisfy all the planned needs I have for a chain saw in the coming future. My days of cutting down trees for firewood and blazing 4 wheeler trails through the woods have long since passed to my youth! Updated on 3/22/15: Still quite pleased with the LCS1020. Last weekend I had the chance to use the LCS1020 for the second time, taking care of tree branches that fell from a recent ice storm. Prior to starting the job, decided to do a quick sharpening touch up on the saw, and realized I did not have the correct specified size file for sharpening, which is 4.5 mm. I did have a 5 mm file, used it, and it seemed to do the trick nicely and I got the job done with no problems, but I will get the correct size file soon. I have used Oregon's file guide previously, and it works well to maintain correct angles. For the LCS1020, the correct 4.5 mm size file is found in their produt number 31692 at http://smile.desertcart.com/Oregon-4-5mm-Chain-Filing-31692/dp/B0002VFEYE/ref=sr_1_1?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1427062221&sr=1-1&keywords=oregon+31692

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How thick a branch can be safely cut with this saw??**
A: Pretty easily cut through a 10-11" tree, and still had a decent amount of battery left for additional cuts on some 4-5" branches.

**Q: Could this saw be used to cut thru a standard railroad tie (7 x 9 )**
A: Yes it would, it wouldn't be fast. This saw is only about 1/6th HP. I used my 8"/18V NiCad saw (B&D) to cut/fit 4" landscape timber retaining wall and the size and weight and ease of use made up for any time lost. Scissors can also be used to mow your lawn.

**Q: does it come without a battery and charger**
A: Jim, I haven't even opened the package yet, but I presume it does come with a battery if you buy the $129 version, since there is a version without battery for $74.  I don't know about the charger, but on the Black and Decker website one version is offered without a charger or battery.  Sorry I can't be of more help

**Q: Did you get the oiler problem fixed. Its seems like a lot people having a problem with the manual oiler.**
A: I contacted the manufacturer on this. I was told to prime it 50-75 times for the first use (not in the manual.) It did send the oil to the chain. I'm new to it so I don't know if it will keep it up but I prime it a LOT more than 3 times between cuts. The tool is great so I'm willing to work with this problem so far.
