Frequently asked questions
What is the EGO CS1610 best suited for?
The EGO CS1610 is a battery-powered chainsaw built around a 40.64 cm (about 16 inch) recommended bar and a chain speed of 20 m/s. That combination suits pruning, limbing and cutting branches or small trunks around a property, rather than felling large trees or running all day on a job site.
What bar length does the EGO CS1610 use?
EGO specifies a recommended bar length of 40.64 cm, close to 16 inches, for the CS1610. That reach is enough to cut through moderate branches and small-diameter trunks in a single pass, but it is not sized for felling mature trees, where a longer bar would be needed to clear the trunk.
What chain does the EGO CS1610 run and how fast does it move?
The EGO CS1610 uses a 0.375 inch, or 3/8 inch, pitch chain, the size found on most mid-size chainsaws, so replacements are widely available. EGO rates chain speed at 20 m/s, fast enough to keep cuts moving through branches and small trunks without the chain bogging down.
Is the EGO CS1610 a battery or petrol chainsaw?
The EGO CS1610 is listed with a battery fuel type, meaning it runs on a rechargeable battery pack rather than a petrol engine. There is no fuel to mix and no exhaust to manage, though as with any battery tool its working time depends on the pack fitted, a detail EGO does not publish for this model.
