The Black & Decker CS718-AE is a versatile and powerful electric chainsaw designed for both beginner and experienced users. This model is especially suitable for gardening enthusiasts and those who require a reliable tool for various cutting tasks around their home or garden. With a 750W motor, the CS718-AE delivers ample power for cutting through branches, logs, and other types of wood quickly and efficiently.

One of the main features of the CS718-AE is its 18-inch cutting bar, which allows users to handle larger tasks without sacrificing maneuverability. This bar length is ideal for pruning, cutting firewood, and clearing fallen branches after a storm. The chainsaw utilizes an automatic oiling system that ensures the bar and chain are continually lubricated during operation, reducing wear and tear and prolonging the life of the tool.

The Black & Decker CS718-AE is equipped with a tool-free chain tensioning system. This feature allows users to easily adjust the chain tension without requiring any additional tools, ensuring optimal performance and safety during use.
