Frequently asked questions
What is the Black+Decker BECS600 best suited for?
The Black+Decker BECS600 is an electric chainsaw rated at 5.97 kW, paired with a recommended 35.6 cm bar, and its listed intended use is general cutting. That combination points to routine yard work around the house — trimming branches and cutting firewood-sized logs — rather than heavy felling or all-day professional use.
How much does the Black+Decker BECS600 weigh?
The Black+Decker BECS600 weighs 4.22 kg without bar and chain. That is light enough for one person to handle for stretches of pruning and trimming around a home without significant fatigue, though the true in-hand weight is somewhat higher once the bar, chain and cord are factored in.
What bar length does the Black+Decker BECS600 use?
Black+Decker specifies a recommended bar length of 35.6 cm for the BECS600, equivalent to about 14 inches. That length suits limbing, pruning and cutting branches and small trunks around that diameter; anything noticeably thicker calls for a saw with a longer bar and more cutting power.
Is the Black+Decker BECS600 corded or battery-powered?
The BECS600 is listed as an electric chainsaw. Electric chainsaws draw continuous power rather than running on stored fuel, which means no mixing gasoline or oil and generally lower noise and vibration than a petrol saw, making it a straightforward choice for occasional cutting close to a power source.
