It produces no direct exhaust emissions during operation.
Does the H.O.G. have less vibration than a gas saw?
It is designed to operate with minimal vibration, helping improve comfort during demanding cutting work.
What is the H.O.G. chainsaw made from?
It uses durable magnesium-alloy construction.
What are the benefits of magnesium construction?
Magnesium provides strength and durability while helping control overall tool weight.
What is the H.O.G. cooling system?
It uses Vortex Air-Duct technology to move cooling air through the saw and help maintain efficient operation.
Why is the cooling system important?
High-output battery tools generate heat under load, so effective cooling helps maintain performance and protect components.
Is the H.O.G. weather resistant?
Yes. It carries an IPX5 water-resistance rating.
What does IPX5 mean?
It indicates protection against water jets from multiple directions, but the saw should still be operated and stored according to the manufacturer’s wet-weather instructions.
Does the H.O.G. require bar and chain oil?
Yes. It uses an automatic oiling system to lubricate the guide bar and chain.
Can the oil flow be adjusted?
Yes. The automatic oiler is adjustable to suit different bar lengths and cutting conditions.
How much chain oil does the H.O.G. hold?
The magnesium oil tank holds approximately 12.8 oz, or 380 ml.
Does the H.O.G. require gasoline or fuel mixing?
No. It is fully battery powered and does not require gasoline or two-stroke oil.
Is the H.O.G. easier to maintain than a gas chainsaw?
It eliminates spark plugs, carburetor adjustments and fuel-system maintenance, but still requires chain sharpening, tensioning, lubrication and regular cleaning.
What maintenance does the H.O.G. chainsaw require?
Routine maintenance includes checking chain tension, sharpening the chain, filling the oil tank, cleaning the bar and cooling passages and inspecting safety components.
