An electric chainsaw is a power tool designed for cutting wood and other materials using a rotating chain with sharp teeth. Unlike traditional gas-powered chainsaws, electric models are quieter, lighter, and easier to maintain. They are ideal for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts for tasks like trimming branches, cutting firewood, or clearing fallen trees. Electric chainsaws come in two main types: corded and cordless. Corded electric chainsaws require a power outlet and are suitable for extended use, while cordless electric chainsaws run on rechargeable batteries, offering greater mobility. Both types are popular for their efficiency and reduced environmental impact compared to gas-powered options.
