Blount PowerNow 40V MAX Cordless Chainsaw
Blount announces the launch of the new OREGON PowerNow 40V MAX* Cordless Chainsaw.
For the first time, a battery-powered chainsaw delivers a combination of performance and features that makes it a true alternative to many gas-powered chainsaws. When not in use, the lithium ion battery pack holds a charge for months so the PowerNow Chainsaw is ready when you are to make cuts for special framing needs, beam pockets, heat registers and more.
Equipped with a 14-inch bar, the PowerNow Chainsaw quickly powers through multiple floor joists, roofing trusses, glue-lam beams and gets into spaces difficult to reach with any other method.
The new OREGON PowerNow Chainsaw offers instant starting without a pull cord, powerful cutting with no-fade power, and long runtime – all free from the hassles of gasoline or cords.
The PowerNow Chainsaw is much quieter than gas-powered chainsaws in use and is silent between cuts. At just under 11 pounds, the PowerNow Chainsaw is lightweight, easily portable and offers ergonomic comfort.
"Many contractors and remodelers use gas-powered chainsaws because they don't believe that cordless electric chainsaws have the power to perform," said Alan Lofurno, Business Unit Director, PowerNow Tools. "That has all changed with the new OREGON PowerNow Chainsaw. Not only is it powerful, but it is free from the hassles of gasoline or power cords."
"The PowerNow Chainsaw starts instantly with the pull of the trigger – no pull cords, no gas, and no warm-up times. It is quiet and offers powerful cutting with no-fade power. The lithium ion battery pack provides long runtime, so the PowerNow Chainsaw is ready to perform," said Lofurno. "All these features make a big difference to professional contractors who want reliability and performance."
The PowerNow Chainsaw features the PowerSharp built-in chain sharpening system so you’ll never cut with a dull chain again. When the chain dulls, simply pull the PowerSharp Lever for 3 to 5 seconds with the saw running and the chain will work like new.
The PowerNow Chainsaw is sold with either an Endurance or Standard battery pack. Both 40V MAX Lithium Ion Battery Packs feature high-capacity cells with no-fade power that maintain performance throughout the job. The Endurance battery pack doubles the runtime of the Standard battery pack.
