Craftsman 4 hp 18&#34 Electric Chain Saw —

Purchased to replace my 16" Poulan electric which served me through thick and thin for over 10 years. Bought this larger 18" to cut trees into firewood and made about 4 or 5 cuts when the saw lost power and the motor started smoking. I checked for a jamed chain but nothing was wrong. It did not run at all after that. Going back tomorrow. Avoid this saw.

This model earned rave reviews from top-rated consumer magazine and is the most powerful electric chain saw Craftsman has to offer. Adjust chain tension quickly and easily with no tools using the tool-less chain tensioner. Automatic oiler ensures proper amount of bar oil is applied automatically. Low kickback chain and low profile bar reduces kickback. Chain brake and hand guard inertia activated, stops chain immediately during kickback.
