Frequently asked questions
What is the Black+Decker LCS1240 designed for?
Black+Decker lists the LCS1240's intended use simply as cutting, paired with a 30.5 cm recommended bar. That bar length points to a saw sized for pruning branches and cutting firewood-scale logs around a home, rather than felling trees or handling the thick trunks a longer-barred saw is built for.
What bar length does the Black+Decker LCS1240 use?
The Black+Decker LCS1240 uses a recommended bar length of 30.5 cm. That's a mid-short size for a chainsaw, giving enough reach for branches and small logs while keeping the saw's front end light enough to control one-handed for short stretches during everyday yard cutting.
How much does the Black+Decker LCS1240 weigh?
The Black+Decker LCS1240 weighs 5.03 kg without bar and chain. That figure excludes the bar, chain and battery, so the saw is heavier once assembled and powered up. At just over 5 kg dry, it still sits toward the lighter end for saws meant for regular hand use.
What power source does the Black+Decker LCS1240 use?
The Black+Decker LCS1240 runs on a 40V MAX* Lithium Ion battery rather than gasoline, so there's no fuel mixing or engine maintenance. Battery capacity and runtime aren't listed here, but the 40V platform places the saw among Black+Decker's mid-range cordless outdoor tools rather than its smaller handheld line.
