UT31810 specifications

The Homelite UT31810 is a powerful, efficient, and user-friendly gas chain saw designed primarily for homeowners and light-duty professional use. With its robust 18-inch bar and chain, this model excels in cutting through trees, limbs, and thick branches, making it a practical tool for yard maintenance, firewood preparation, and storm cleanup.

At the core of the UT31810 is its reliable 42cc 2-cycle engine. This air-cooled engine combines power and performance, delivering a strong cutting capability while maintaining efficiency. The engine is easy to start thanks to the QuickStart technology, which reduces the effort required to pull the starter cord, making it manageable for users of all skill levels.

One of the standout features of the UT31810 is its automatic chain lubrication system. This ensures that the bar and chain are continuously supplied with oil during operation, keeping them well-lubricated for smoother cuts and prolonged life.

Safety is also a priority in the design of the Homelite UT31810. It includes a chain brake feature that helps prevent accidental starting and provides an additional layer of safety by stopping the chain quickly in case of kickback. The integrated hand guard and low kickback chain further enhance user protection, ensuring a safer cutting experience.

The tool features an easy-to-use tensioning system for the chain, allowing adjustments without the need for additional tools. This feature enhances usability, making it quick and simple to maintain the optimal tension for efficient cutting.

Weighing in at approximately 11 lbs, the UT31810 strikes a good balance between power and portability. It is equipped with comfortable rubber grips that reduce vibration, allowing users to work longer without fatigue.

Overall, the Homelite UT31810 is an excellent choice for those who need a reliable, effective, and safe chain saw.
