The Oregon CS1400 Electric Chainsaw is a chainsaw with a 40 cm (16 in) bar and mains electric power.
A 40 cm bar cuts a log of about 40 cm in a single pass, and is at its most comfortable on timber up to roughly 35 cm. Thicker wood is not impossible, since cutting from both sides doubles the effective capacity, but it is slower and harder to keep straight.
The specification lists a 2400W motor.
It is fitted with a chain brake, tool-free chain tensioning, low-kickback chain.
A mains saw gives the most cutting power per pound spent, as long as the work happens within reach of a socket. Use a heavy-duty extension lead fully unwound, and plug into an RCD. It is a homeowner grade machine, intended for occasional use rather than daily work.

Does anybody know how to stop the oil dripping out during storage?
e oil tank during use creates a vacuum, once the saw has stopped work, the vacuum continues to push out oil by capillary action rather than mechanical action. To stop this action, place the saw on its side (bar in the air) after releasing the cap a little and re-screwing. A few minutes of the saw in this position will prevent any further leakage in storage. It’s not an unusual situation nor a fault but is easy to prevent by following the above steps.
Are the motor brushes replacable?
I checked the manual that came with saw, got web address, typed in parts, brushes, it brought it up as spareparts. See no problems getting parts via their webpage and aftersales.
