Definitely educate yourself with felling a tree. At least watch a few KZread videos prior cutting a tree down. Pure luck you did not get hurt.

Yep, i felt the same, things go wrong very quickly.

Like everyone has already said, that back cut needs to be perfectly in line with the vertex of the wedge, and about 1-2 inches behind, so you have 1-2 inches of hinge wood to. You shouldn't be forcing the tree to split apart. look up "barber chair", it kills people

Back cuts needs about 2-3 inches you have about 8 or more.

Yeah lol I have never cut a tree in my life but looking at this and literally watching 1 video on KZread seen someone screwed up and should have watched a YoutUbe video lol

Gonna bring this video to my safety officer next time we do safety courses🤣

Start the damn chain off the log!!!! This saw overworks the battery when the blade isn't singing. I get faster cuts without having to push my way through. Let the blade do the work.

Could you be any more unsafe if you tried?!? Cutting a tree with you neck in line if the chainsaw kicks backs in INSANE. Seriously, you should get some lessons, before you have a serious accident.

Lucky ya’s didn’t get hurt…wedge way too big and cut too high above the wedge 😀good cutting after that though 👍🏼

I didnt see any hinge. And back cut seemed off. The Ego 18" is really great electric saw. I would get couple extra batteries. I got one in addition to my gas powered monster.

Rookies! 😂🤣😂

The question for me is whether to buy this model chainsaw or get a petrol chainsaw like a Stihl. The 16 inch Ego we have is a bit small for cutting down and cutting up bigger trees. It’s fine for smaller stuff. The question is whether the larger Ego chainsaw has the power. Your chainsaw seems to cut through a big log quite well.

I don't have experience with it myself, but from what I've seen it seems to be a pretty sizeable upgrade over the 16" (which I have and love). It has quite a bit higher motor speed and it uses a larger chain. You could always try it out and return it if you find it unsatisfactory.

You can buy bigger batteries, or spare batteries. Also the fast charger is a must.

Don't use the fast charger, it'll kill the batteries faster. I alternate 3 7.5 amp batteries with the slower 210w chargers and have cut 20 cords no problem. If you've got a bunch of their tools it's no problem to cycle them, the 5 amp can't take as heavy of abuse or milling, rather save those for lighter work.

@@Thesaltyseafish what evidence if this do you have? Typically fast charging is detrimental to lithium batteries because of heat generation. Heat kills batteries. EGO, uses air circulation and thermal materials (ARC Lithium) to keep the batteries cooler. Furthermore, EGO batteries are comprised of many smaller cells (batteries) and sophisticated management circuitry. The Speed isn't harmful where the volume is. EGO has also taken this into consideration as it doesn't allow its cells to be fully charged. There is slack to preserve longevity. EGO gives a 3 year warranty on each of its batteries. That warranty doesn't stipulate that the user must only use one type of EGO charger. Nor is this some arbitrary number, EGO'S engineers have thoroughly tested and calculated every aspect of the batteries. It would be highly cost inefficient to promote and sell a product that would cost the company money in warranty replacements.

I am thinking seriously about getting one of these. I am in Southeast Asia and the electric service here is 220v. Usually things like battery charges are rated at a range from 100-240v. Could you take a look when you have a free minute and see what the rating is on the battery charger? Thanks.

I really like my Ego chain saw and other equipment. Biggest problem so fas is the price of a replacement battery or a extra....

Your back cut way too high. It should only be about an inch above your the horizontal first cut.

Back cut way too high

I bought one from Amazon on November 8th. I had to send it back for a replacement. Got the replacement on November 27th. Sending replacement back today for full refund. A cut which should have been 5 seconds took me 20 minutes. Ego customer support is useless if you are within 30 days of your purchase date. Your only option is to return it.

I had to get in touch with BBB just to get any reply back from ego.

the suspense was killing me, hope they are better at diesel garage than cutting down trees, way to high on his back cut. Somebody is going to get hurt someday
