STIHL battery saw

[silky fox]

Re-charge it each night whatever it's level.After speaking to the Stihl Rep who assured me this was ok.It holds it's charge the same as when it was new.It has now been charged many times.

Might just go for a 300 to start as I'll have a 201 as a back up. Just need to make the plunge!

I got a large Connie down to this with battery to spare...many cuts. 300 is enough.

I find that my battery saw really hard to sharpen and get it cutting right with out it trying to pull the chain to the left or right. Either that or I can't sharpen 🙄

They little teeth a fiddly and hard to see that's for sure? What you using to sharpen it?

file by hand with one of those diddy little files. Yes they are hard to file, specially with my deteriorating eye site

I'm using the correct diddy 1/4 pitch file, might try stihls easy file thing they make.

I use a stihl normal file guide which I reckon is slightly sturdier the the oregon ones. Just check it's a 3.2 not 4mm file you got as there are 2 sizes of 1/4 pitch chains. Stubbornly filed mine with wrong one for a while when I first got it.

Won this bad boy at the arb show this year on the forst ninja warrior course and been putting it through its paces in the last month and it's stood up well. I had always been a bit sceptical about the battery powered saws but since owning this I have found it brilliant on light pruning work, saves pull starting the 150 or 200 every time you are in position to make a cut. Also nice to be able to hear what's going on around you, almost like climbing and cutting with a silky. Plus if you really want to it can manage small dismantles. Plus the battery is surprisingly good.[ATTACH]222017[/ATTACH][ATTACH]222018[/ATTACH][ATTACH]222019[/ATTACH]

Excellent. I Knew you would like it.I've had mine well over a year and a half now and it is with me everyday.I've made some big cuts with it in that time and when more power is required i clip on this little ripper! [ATTACH]222027[/ATTACH]
