can you cut small trees

Yes you can, the first time I used it was to cut a branch which broke from an older tree the diameter was 6 to 8".

I've cut trees as wide as 10" across with this. On a bigger tree like that it's slower, but it makes the cuts fine. Make sure you keep the chain sharp for best results.

Absolutely! It is a fine unit, just doesn't have longevity - it will likely last through around 5, 30 foot trees. Then discard and buy another.

Yes you can but try first wash the dirt and gravel from the area you are going to cut or it will dull the chain and won't do the job. I cut a lot of trees that size. Just take your time a it is a lightweight saw but will do the job. Good luck, Ed

Not a chance. I was just using this tool this morning to clip a camelia tree. You can cut up to about 3/8" branches.

yes, but I would recommend something with a shorter blade height so you can fit it between close limbs (only applies if they are still on the tree). One of the collapsible hand saws are great for this purpose

I wouldn't attempt to use it for that application. Worked well on the small diameter tree limbs it was designed for. The blades did wear quickly but I put it through the ringer.

Yes. I have done this a number of times. They are made of a soft plastic and can be easily cut and shaped with tin snips, wire cutters or diagonal cutters. FYI: I use outdoor cable ties to secure them to the tree.

Yes, I was able to chop small limbs and branches with the "out of the box" edge. It's not razor sharp, but its certainly good enough to get started.

yes,but it's just for heavy grass and small brush. I also ordered the two pack carbide blades for cutting small trees.

I have not done this, but in principle yes. But you need to drill holes deep into tree to ensure systemic delivery. But I would suggest just cutting it down. A big dead tree is a dangerous tree.

Well you could try it on small tree limbs but it will probably dull the blades faster. I used it to trim the branches on a big bush with some thicker limbs but I wouldn't do it all the time.

I've cut bushes and small trees off close to the ground. It is awkward because of the length and balance of the saw handle/battery. You have to be very careful not to allow the saw blade to become contaminated with dirt and debris. You could use a regular pruning saw or for branches up to approximately 1¾" I've great success with a Fiskars PowerGear ByPass Lopper. If you can get the jaws around the branch/tree, it'll cut it.

With the stock sharpness it can really only cut 1-1.5" limbs and small trees. I sharpened it further with a grinding wheel and can get 2-2.25" in about 3-5 whacks depending on the wood, any larger and its time for the hatchet.

excellent trimmers for small stems leaves etc.Would not use for stems that are hard or large because I feel it would ruin the cutting capabilities of using for smaller stems and minute cuttings.

My hands are medium to small. The pruners work good for me. If my hands were any smaller more effort would be needed for me to cut. I love the pruners though and would rather work with them then use the old time pruners I have always purchased.

Chain saw is heavy, good for cut the trees. This powered handsaw is lighter and thinner, the knife only 8 inches long, good for smaller trees, branches and small wood.

yes small wooden ones no problem. as for the strike anywhere ones just have to cut the ends off. easy.

I had no problem cutting small branches in groups. I trimmed the old wood out of Rose of Sharon and Lilac bushes. I was able to cut them in short enough lengths to use in a brush pile for rabbits to use as shelter for winter.
