How many pounds is the saw? I have to use it over my head for hours at a time.

It's heavy, I would not do overhead saw work, unless you want to kill your self. I don't have a scale but 15 lb? is too much to hold over my head.

It is 14.3 lbs. Having used it extensively, including a few cuts at and above head level I would recommend a different saw if you need to cut extensively above head level as I find this one a bit unwieldy at those levels (and also somewhat dangerous because you really need 2 hands to control it so you may have trouble balancing)

Its a heavy framing saw. Using it over your head is not recommended. Better off using a sidwinder for this. 6 1/2" skill is nice or a porta-cable 4" trim saw.Good luck!

you can check Makita's website for exact weight but I would not want to use it over my head for any extended period of time. it is heavy.

Not sure of the exact weight but this is way heavier then my dewalt saw. Not something you want over head for long periods of time.

don;t really know, but, I am 96 years of age, and arthritic, and I can handle the saw with ease. Get the saw.JM

The saw weighs about 7 lbs. How you hold and use the saw affects the way that 7 lbs. feels to the user. The longer you extend the handle and the closer you hold it parallel to the ground makes it seem heavier. Always position the saw and yourself so your comfortable with the weight and you should be safe.

I do not know the exact weight but it is heavy if you are working over your head and especially if it is extended.

Not sure on the exact weight. But its a lot lighter than the saw I use at work. Hope this helps

I own a battery-powered model (with no extension arm) that weighs 12 lbs. I am a man of 87, and I find the saw does everything I ask of it easily and safely. I especially like its ability to slice up branches once they are on the ground.

My guess is about 4-5 lbs. If you put a web search on the saw you'll get an accurate weight.

Skil states their product weights ,not counting cord,blade and wrench.Not exactly "Real world" since the end user needs at least the blade and cord to use saw!Since Skil manufactures several different variations of the "Skilsaw", ranging in weight from 17.3 lbs. (original mag 77) to the latest Mag 77LT 11.2 lbs.(probably weighed without blade,cord,and wrench).....I would guess that their comparing the new mag 77LT to their previous mag 77 weighing in at 15.3 lbs.Anyway you slice it the new Mag 77LT is very light and a pleasure to use in "Real world" conditions!!!

never measured but about 36, been using this saw since I got it. Highly impressed. Use it to cut firewood. Cuts all hard woods well. As all hand saws it is sluglish on Popal but popal ain't real usable as heat here in Maine anyway. Wish I had 1 more for back up. One problem easily over come is replace handle pin with a nut and bolt.

The manual says 7 lbs . I weighed it and it was actually 8lbs. I noticed when saw is extended it feels heavier because all the weight is at the saw end. Hope this helps.

I would say that the chainsaw weighs 6-8lbs. My wife handles it fairly easily and for me it can be a one-handed tool if I wanted to be that stupid. It is not heavy enough to wear you out quickly so it can be used for a long period of time. It is very easy to use and does a great job. We have cut 4 trees down, 8-12" diameter, plus cutting all of the wood in small enough pieces that our town will pick it up and I haven't had to sharpen the chain but once. The tightener works very well so you, as the user, don't have to work so hard maintaining the saw.

The saw weighs about 5 lbs. and the fiberglass pole extension another 2 or 3 lbs. for a total of about 8 lbs. It is quite light for this class of saws. If you hold it vertically it isn't much of a problem but the more you reach with it the harder it gets due to leverage. I put the saw on a branch and let the weight of the saw do the cutting. I bought it because of it's light weight and I can't handle heavy things due to a bad shoulder. It does cut beautifully though as long as you have your feet on the ground. I would not use it on a ladder though. Ro

maybe 2 lbs? it's not heavy at all. i'm able to hold it, even at an upward angle for enough time to cut down tree branches.

-Earthwise C530014 Chain Saw was TOO HEAVY for my Wife, so I returned it! And purchased GreenWorks 20182 Enhanced 24V Lithium-Ion 10-Inch Chainsaw with for $119.99. Neither Amazon NOR, THE MANUFACTURER INCLUDE IMPORTANT DATA ABOUT "WEIGHT"! But, am I very satisfied with it! -

The saw is very light, but it cuts like a larger saw. Just used it today again. The battery is very strong. Would recommend to anyone.

not heavy at all, at the most i would say 10 pounds. More weight would obviously be on the chainsaw end when used with a pole. Easy to use and control the weight

ITs very light, not sure the exact weight. Your money is better spent on the Dremel version of this tool. This one is cheaply made, doesnt hold a charge very long, and I already had to have mine replaced once. Buyer beware I guess.
