UT08520 specifications

The Homelite UT08520 is a versatile, user-friendly chainsaw designed for homeowners and light-duty professionals. Known for its reliability and performance, the UT08520 incorporates several advanced features and technologies that cater to various cutting tasks, making it an essential tool for yard maintenance, tree trimming, and firewood preparation.

One of the standout features of the Homelite UT08520 is its powerful 8-amp electric motor, which provides sufficient power for cutting through branches and logs with ease. This electric motor eliminates the need for gasoline, making the chainsaw environmentally friendly and reducing the maintenance required with gas-powered models. The electric design also ensures quieter operation, which is particularly beneficial in residential areas.

The chainsaw has a 14-inch cutting bar that strikes a balance between maneuverability and cutting capacity.

A lightweight design further enhances the user experience, making it easy to handle for extended periods without fatigue.

Safety is a key consideration in the design of the UT08520. It comes equipped with a chain brake, which promptly stops the chain in case of kickback, reducing the risk of injury. The chainsaw also features a protective sheath for the bar and chain during storage, ensuring that the components remain secure and well-protected.

Another notable aspect of this chainsaw is its tool-less chain tensioning system. This innovation enables users to adjust the chain tension quickly and easily, ensuring optimal cutting performance without the need for additional tools. Moreover, the transparent oil reservoir allows for easy monitoring of the oil level, which is crucial for maintaining chain lubrication and prolonging the life of the chainsaw.

Overall, the Homelite UT08520 is a highly effective chainsaw, combining power, safety, and ease of use in a compact design. Ideal for homeowners seeking a reliable tool for occasional use, it delivers performance and features typically found in more expensive models, making it a popular choice within its category.
