I'd bet I've been in the vicinity of electricity less than .01% of the time I've ever used a chainsaw, and those HUMONGOUS trees would have laughed out loud if they saw a cord. The only two times (I can recall), were the two 4.5'+ hardwoods that the "pros" dropped, but my dad & I "worked up". I bet you have an electric mower too...just pickin'
