I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle ru-vid.comUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.
Yesterday I went from 2pm to 6.30pm cutting a pile of oak for firewood I have the MSA300, and the 220C, most the time I use the MSA300 for the logs are quite tick, I have 3 AP500 and 3 AP300S batteries for this 2 saws again the saws are great but to cut continuous the battery time is a pain in the neck, lucky I was close to the house and always have one charging otherwise I be in trouble. In regard the MSA300 yes sure is powerful the problem is that if I always go in full power in order to be fast the AP500 fast be out of charge, I need a battery that last long for this saw and it not exist.
Yo he comprado una y ai una grand diferencia en la duracion de la bateria si la usas en la maxima fuerza o en la mediana. Ase una semana la probe aun no haiga verdaderamente mirando el relog pero lo note. Yo dire que en la maxima fuerza quisas 15 miinutos en la mediana 30. Tengo tambien la 161T y la 220C esta no tien nada que ver es mucho mas potent. Con la cadena afilada corta madera como mantequilla si la usas en la maxima fuerza. Saludos desde Portugal.
I have Stihl 880 bigger and stronger Than this and not charge electriciti current voltage! This battery 30 minutes work enough, not enough 3-4 hours work 6 m3 wood
