With the battery powered saws, a sharp, maintained chain is essential. I have three for the little DW. The torque on the battery units is impressive but they will be more impacted, of course, with duller chains.

Sharpening chains is Zen to me...I have a nice little set up in the corner.

TMI!

I think the smaller the saw, the more abuse the chain takes because you are cleaning up with it and prone to hitting dirt.
