All, I purchased a Craftsman electric chainsaw for $1 and it looks to be quite old. All we could find is it says Craftsman on the motor,which sticks out on the leftside and also says double insulated. On the right side where the chain and bar assembly are it says Powercut. On the bar itself closest to the rear of the bar it has three sets of numbers which are: 18190 (my wife and son are debating if 15190 or 18190, but likely 18190), 1450, and 1118. The bar is 18 inches in lenth, but that is all we can find on it. There is a knob on the body on the right side that might have something to do with the chain, an oiler button on the top behind the port for filling with bar oil, and some other knob to the right of the oil fill port. I don't know anything else about this chainsaw other than it appears to work. Well ok, I plugged it in, pulled the trigger and it fired up. As far as whether it would work, I don't know for sure. I can tell you it has no safety break as best I can tell, but it does have a nice handle that goes over the motor and would keep hands quite clear from the blade. It has got to be quite old and it is quite dirty. I'm not sure at all how the chain tension is adjusted and the chain seems to hang a bit on the bottom and that I believe is incorrect and it should be tight against the bar, but not so tight you can't move it by hand or pull up on the chain slightly. So, searching the web has not provided any info, but if anyone is familiar with this saw or can direct me to some info, I'd appreciate it. I figure if I can use it to cut the tree down in the backyard, then I just saved a load of money and beyond that I have few plans for it. Hell it can die after the job cause a $1 is a good deal. <grin>
tnx
