Frequently asked questions
What is the Black+Decker LCS1020B best suited for?
The Black+Decker LCS1020B is a battery chainsaw with a 25.4 cm recommended bar, listed by the manufacturer simply for cutting. A bar that short points at pruning and cutting up small branches and logs around a garden rather than felling. Running on battery, it needs no fuel mixing and produces no exhaust fumes.
How thick a branch can the Black+Decker LCS1020B cut?
With its 25.4 cm bar, the Black+Decker LCS1020B cuts through wood of roughly that diameter in one pass from a single side. Anything thicker has to be cut from both sides, which is harder to control on a saw this small. The 25.4 cm bar places the LCS1020B firmly in the garden pruning class.
How much does the Black+Decker LCS1020B weigh?
Black+Decker gives the LCS1020B a weight of 3.86 kg without bar and chain. Bar, chain, oil and battery are added on top of that, so the saw as used weighs more. For a saw carrying only a 25.4 cm bar, 3.86 kg bare is not especially light, which matters during sustained overhead pruning.
Does the Black+Decker LCS1020B need fuel or an extension lead?
Neither. The Black+Decker LCS1020B runs on battery, so there is no petrol to mix, no pull cord and no trailing cable to keep clear of the chain. The trade-off is that working time depends on the charge available, and no runtime or battery capacity figure is published among the LCS1020B specifications.
What replacement chain does the Black+Decker LCS1020B take?
Black+Decker publishes no chain pitch or gauge for the LCS1020B, so neither figure can be quoted here; the only cutting dimension given is the 25.4 cm bar length. To buy a replacement chain for the LCS1020B, read the pitch and drive-link count stamped on the original chain or bar instead.
Who should not choose the Black+Decker LCS1020B?
Anyone felling mature trees or cutting all day should look past the Black+Decker LCS1020B: a 25.4 cm bar caps the diameter it can take in one pass, and 3.86 kg without bar and chain is not light for that size. It suits occasional garden cutting rather than forestry or storm clearance.
