EGO EGO CS1200
Battery-powered performance meets professional reliability in this lightweight chainsaw designed for homeowners and light commercial users. Powered by EGO's advanced 56V ARC Lithium battery system, this cordless model eliminates the hassles of gas mixing and pull-cord starting while delivering consistent power for brush clearing and limb removal tasks.
Weighing just 3.81 kg without the bar and chain, this saw offers excellent maneuverability during extended use. The 30.48 cm recommended bar length provides an ideal balance of cutting capacity and control, while the 20 m/s chain speed ensures efficient cutting through branches and small trees. The 0.375-inch chain pitch delivers smooth operation and reliable performance, making it particularly well-suited for property maintenance, storm cleanup, and light forestry work where portability and ease of use are essential.

Frequently asked questions
What is the EGO CS1200 best suited for?
The EGO CS1200 is a battery chainsaw intended for light-duty brush removal and limb work. With a 30.48 cm bar and a 3.81 kg body without bar and chain, it fits clearing scrub, cutting fallen branches and tidying a property after a storm, rather than felling mature trees or cutting firewood in volume.
How much does the EGO CS1200 weigh?
The EGO CS1200 weighs 3.81 kg without bar and chain, which is light for a chainsaw and the main reason it works for limb work above shoulder height. Fitting the 30.48 cm bar and chain adds to that, so treat 3.81 kg as the starting point rather than the weight you will actually hold.
What size wood can the EGO CS1200 cut?
The EGO CS1200 has a recommended bar length of 30.48 cm, or 12 inches. In practice a bar that length cuts cleanly through branches and small stems up to roughly 20 cm thick in a single pass; anything larger needs cutting from both sides and is outside the light brush and limb work the CS1200 is meant for.
How fast is the chain on the EGO CS1200?
The EGO CS1200 runs its chain at 20 m/s on a 0.375 inch, or 3/8 inch, pitch. Twenty metres per second is the same chain speed quoted for much larger petrol saws, so the CS1200 is not slow through the branch material it is built for; the 30.48 cm bar, not chain speed, sets its limit.
Does the EGO CS1200 need petrol or a fuel mix?
No. The EGO CS1200 is recorded as battery powered, so there is no petrol, no two-stroke oil and no fuel mixing to get right, and no engine to warm up before cutting. Bar and chain oil is still required, as on any chainsaw, and the chain still needs tensioning and sharpening like a petrol saw's.
How long does the EGO CS1200 run on a charge?
No runtime, battery capacity or charge time figure is published for the EGO CS1200 in the specification data ChainsawData holds, so none is listed rather than estimated. Runtime on any battery chainsaw depends on the pack fitted and on how hard the wood is, which is why a single headline number would be misleading anyway.
