I finally got a chance to use my Saker Mini Electric Chainsaw. It is great. There is NO WAY I could ever live without it. It will save me a lot of money! The good Lord answered my prayer because until I saw the ad, I did not know anything like this was out on the market! All I can say is THANK YOU LORD!
@@houseonthemend while this is great for all the ladies out there, you men need to get off of your high horse thinking you are Tim the Toolman Taylor. LOL! Why bring out that "Big Dog" if you don't need it? It is way too dangerous to use on small stuff. There is nothing like the Saker Mini Electric Chainsaw!
This is an excellent video review. This video is a lot more useful about battery charging (how long and how to tell when the batter is fully charged) and how to actually operate and use the chainsaw. than the virtually useless included directions are. It also stresses when to cut from the direction of having the motor unit facing outward, when to make a cut on the opposite side of the main cut and how to lubricate the chainsaw. It also demonstrates the proper chain tension and how to adjust it. I strongly recommend that you watch this video before battery charging and using the chainsaw and you will know all you need to know about properly and safely using it.
@@houseonthemend I used the chainsaw today for the first time to cut up some large dry palm tree fronds that the wind had blown off a very large palm tree so they could fit into my trash can. You video showed me how to lubricate the chain and blade properly before using it and it went through those hard 2" and 3" stems like a hot knife through butter. This chainsaw is great for this kind of job and for cutting small to medium sized tree and bush branches. I love the fact that you can safely use it with one hand.while using the other one to steady what you are cutting. Once again, thank you for your video. This chainsaw is very handy, lightweight, powerful and easy to handle while using it and it makes these kind of jobs much easier to perform.
@@houseonthemend One bad development. I was cutting a 2 1/2" branch (which had previously been handled with no problem) and the saw just froze. I switched to another fully charged battery and nothing happened. I checked to see and used tweezers and a small pipe brush to clean out any sawdust or fiber residue that might have been clogging the chain. Before I say that there is a defect I would like to hear from you about what I might possibly be able to do to fix this. If you think that I might need to move the chain, please tell me how to do that. When I tried (with no battery of course) the saw stayed frozen and I couldn't move anything. I only bought this mini chainsaw three weeks ago. I really liked it and it was doing a great job. I wasn't using it to cut hard wood or anything like that. Just a couple of palm fronds and some bush branches that were no thicker than 3".
Great video. I just got mine and did give it a wee try after charging my batteries. It was amazing! Your video gave me lots of great info. I will need to tighten the chain a little bit and will re-lube as well. More trimming in my future. PS I am a woman and like another said, had no idea these existed before I saw an ad on CZcams. It is a game changer for me.
A really great review - so thank you. I’m a female who loves power tools, and I came here to find out about oiling because the instructions weren’t 100% clear. I’ve just bought one of these little guys and I love it! I bought a dual height Black and Decker Workmate at the same time and what an investment in both time and energy these were. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
This video was a help with understanding how to oil the chain, and check the tension of the chain, and how to tighten the chain. Great teaching video for beginner users of a chainsaw.
I have this exact saw. I use it a lot. It needs to be oiled often. The only down flaw I noticed is that the chain needs to be tightened/adjusted frequently. I really do like this saw.
I’ve been debating whether or not to purchase this electric chainsaw. Your video convinced me that it’s got plenty of power for what’s in my small yard. Thanks!
Thank you, I came here too about the oiling and learned about checking the tension too. I bought the pink Saker and I love it. I would like to see how to replace the chain and when to know when its time to do that?
Thank you for this review! I just got this today and I could not find any information on how to turn it on! I loved all your hints: ears, eyes, gloves, checking temperature and positioning! My brothers did not want me to have anything bigger. I'm excited to use it!
Same here about needing help to turn it on. The manual gets this wrong - they describe the safety button as if it's the safety on. a firearm, that you switch from locked to hot and ready to go.
Great video. I just received my mini Saker chainsaw ordered via Amazon and noted that the hex socket was too big so I had to go through my toolbox to find one that fits. Anyway, would appreciate if you could do a video demonstrating the removal and replacement of the chain.
Very helpful review! The directions that came with it were lousy. You answered all of my questions! My only suggestion is maybe add that you need to clean it before storing and how to do that. (for us novices.)
Thank you for this - I just used mine for the first time yesterday to hard prune a fruit tree and it did great! (Wish I'd know about the mineral oil though, fingers crossed that I didn't damage the tree). I also would like to see some info on how to clean this little saw. Do I have to take the chain off?
Very intelligent and functional review and basically positive about the Saker. Did you find the tensioner to be working properly because that's an important function? Thanks so much I'm going to be watching your reviews and I'll buy through your links.
@@houseonthemend I was wondering if the tensioner is solid, able to be adjusted easily, or if it 'flops' around and hard to adjust or doesn't keep tension.
That has not happened for me with the Saker but happened multiple times with these chainsaws I reviewed: czcams.com/video/2i7V3ef6ykA/video.html Maybe it’s a heat or other safety mechanism.
Not satisfied with mine after 2 - 2 hour trips out to cut 2"-4" pine branches - wear to the bar was excessive. Had to stop and adjust multiple times; sprocket has a lot of resistance causing short battery life.
Very impressed with this video. I wanted specifically to know how long to charge battery, & how much protection I really need. They should have you write the instructions that specifically apply to model. 😊
Thank you for your kind words. Funny you mention my critique of the grammatical errors and superfluous warnings in the manual. I have criticized so many tools for their poorly written manuals that I’m waiting for the day a company asks me to write/edit their manuals.
If you are within the return window on Amazon, I would return or exchange it immediately. I have not had that issue and still use it regularly. If you can’t return it, are there any debris in the trigger assembly? If so, maybe try blowing it out with an air compressor.

I would immediately return it on Amazon before the return date ends. If that has already closed, I would contact Saker directly for a replacement.
Just got mine and can't wait to use it! Thanks for the review!
You’re welcome, Mike!
Thank you I was able to tighten up the chain on my little saw. My husband has tried many times, but you’re a lifesaver.
You’re very welcome, Donna!

Just received my saw today Thanks for your video. You’ve answer my questions. I’ll test drive it tomorrow. I’m sure I’ll watch you again
I’m so glad it was helpful!!
Was debating on this chain saw since i'm left handed also.. You answered my questions, Thank you, and thorough video.
I’m so glad you are one of the 10% of humanity who finds that useful!!!
Never heard of Saker and your video is exactly what I was looking for to help me pull the trigger
I’m so glad it was helpful!!
I just got one for Christmas. It came with a hard plastic case and had two batteries. My Wife stepped up.
That’s great! I hope it works well for you.

Good show House on the Mend .
Thank you Tony!!
I just received mine today
Nice! Hope it works great for you!
I'm about to do the same review for saker mini electric chainsaw
Really nice review. I wish though that I could use the top of the chain to do the undercut rather than have to turn the saw upside down
I agree. That blade guard seems to be very prevalent in these mini chainsaws.
Nice
Thank you!
Excellent review! Any experience with it stopping working for no apparent reason? Yes, the batteries are charged.
That has not happened for me with the Saker but happened multiple times with these chainsaws I reviewed:
czcams.com/video/2i7V3ef6ykA/video.html
Maybe it’s a heat or other safety mechanism.
Buy a litre of proper saw chain oil. It will reduce the need for re tensioning the chain because it is a real lubricant.
Really like the saw, but almost impossible to tightening the chain with the tiny screw and screwdriver.
Maybe I’m an outlier but I’ve never had to adjust the chain tension after the initial setup and testing.
Not satisfied with mine after 2 - 2 hour trips out to cut 2"-4" pine branches - wear to the bar was excessive. Had to stop and adjust multiple times; sprocket has a lot of resistance causing short battery life.
Wow great feedback! Thank you for sharing your experience.

My Saker won't turn off. The only way to stop the saw is to (carefully) pull out the battery. Any ideas?
If you are within the return window on Amazon, I would return or exchange it immediately. I have not had that issue and still use it regularly. If you can’t return it, are there any debris in the trigger assembly? If so, maybe try blowing it out with an air compressor.
Can you help me with what I need to that my saker mini chainsaw is not cutting anymore?
@floyd-wd6ne without any details of the issue I’m left with advising you to charge the battery and sharpen/replace the chain.
I have two Shaker mini chain saw and neither one works?? 😢
I find that hard to believe. Mine still works great.
Hi Mike! Just posted our unboxing and review of the Saker 4inch. Let me know what YOU think 👍👷
Finally found ad
How often do you have to oil the chain?
Before every use.
What kind of oil do you use
I have been using simple 3-in-One oil: amzn.to/3Zih6eu
About every half hour of cutting and before putting it away for the day.
Mine worked once. Now it has no power. Any clue?
No clue. Mine still works great. Is it within the Amazon return window or manufacturer warranty?
How does this do on old dry thick branches?
It is a 6” chainsaw so definitely not intended for anything thicker than that. As for old and dry it works great.
@@houseonthemend Thank you
You are very welcome.
hi, can it be charged at 220v?
Yes, the charger says the input can be 100-240 volts 50-60Hz.
@@houseonthemend thank you🥰
David you are very welcome.
You could always glue the safety down lol. Which would render useless the safety part of it anyways
Is it compatible with other battery brands?
Not to my knowledge.
@@houseonthemend thanks for the reply!
@@dl5930 you are welcome, D L.
The charger has an indicating light that changes color on charge
I clearly state and demonstrate that at 5:35
Is that 4 or 6"
I measure the blade at the 5:10 mark.
How much is this saw
Alan link in the description for the latest pricing.
12:40 I think thats why its an Ash Tree lol (cause it suppose to die) wait this thing is that good
It’s a great saw and I still use it regularly.
@houseonthemend good to know & you could Save allot of Money but just wanna know how do I kill Vines forever & Big Junky Trees
Geee, just a coincidence that they’ve coloured it just like tried and true Makita products.
Bad brand, get a diff one . 25volt one not 20 lame.
So far everything I have tested from Saker is good quality.
@@houseonthemend hello
Hi Jeremy.
@@houseonthemend how are you
Doing great Jeremy.
