Amazon.com Product Description
The Remington 16-inch 3 HP electric chainsaw is ideal for fast, easy trimming, pruning, tree-felling, firewood-cutting, and more. With a handling weight of only 9 pounds, the 3 HP saw gives maximum peak horsepower in a lightweight, easy-to-handle package. Several safety features are built in, including: front and rear hand guards for operator protection; a trigger lock-out; and a reduced kickback guide bar. Unlike gas-powered chainsaws, the electric chainsaw does not contribute to air pollution and requires no gasoline or oil to mix -- and it's also quieter. It includes a manual oiler with an easy-push button. The chainsaw comes preassembled, and it includes a 1-year limited warranty.

A Chain Saw That Is Too Inexpensive
From prior gas chain saw experience in Austria, I knew a chain saw did not need more than 3 horsepower so I went for this less expensive Remington electric model. Electric chainsaws are great. This Remington model was a mistake.

To tighten for the normal new chain's expansion is difficult enough for the manufacturer to append the manual with a special instructional page. Tightening is a multi step process requiring tools. Additionally, the tightening mechanism is of poor quality and difficult to service. I replaced the guide bar nuts with wing nuts.

The oil feed is both gravity and pump fed. Accordingly, if the chainsaw is set down, expect the ground underneath to get oil droppings. Additionally, one must empty the unused oil after each use. Of course there is the additional difficulty of keeping normal debris out of the returning oil.

Removing the sprocket cover to clean and service the unit is too easy. Not recognizing a poorly indicated cover notch and the hidden tighening tab when refitting the cover readily allows misalignment and damaging the above poor tightening mechanism.

Finally, the chain length is odd and not indicated in the manual. It is difficult to get replacement chain. (Found out it is 59 links).

A chain saw that is too cheap.

Amend: Pictured above is a replacment model.

Very poor quality
The previous review of this product is dead on. The chainsaw worked properly for the first several cuts. However, once the chain needed to be tightened, I realized that this chainsaw is junk. To tighten the chain, you must screw the suspension screw, which is of poor quality. I had trouble with this, so I decided to just remove the two wing nuts and manually tighten it. BIG MISTAKE. To get the cheap plastic cover back on is almost impossible! I couldn't get suspension screw to realign properly. Also mentioned below, the oil factor. The thing leaks oil like the Exxon Valdez! Which makes a huge mess. Avoid this product at all costs.

garbage!!
I bought this saw several years ago and it did okay for about a year, then, all of a sudden, the motor burned up! I had used it very little and was rather surprised since I take good care of my stuff. I decided that since the bar and chain were still in excellent shape I would buy another one. What a mistake!! After cutting less than 1/2 cord of wood the motor burned up! Needless to say, I won't be getting another one!!
