## Overview

Built specifically for professional arborists and utility workers, this battery-powered chainsaw delivers impressive performance without the maintenance headaches of gas engines. With its 2.01 kW brushless motor generating 2.7 horsepower, it provides the cutting power needed for demanding tree work and line clearance operations. The M18 FUEL system ensures consistent power delivery throughout the battery cycle.

Designed around a 14-inch (35.56 cm) bar configuration, this model strikes an optimal balance between maneuverability and cutting capacity for professional tree care applications. The brushless motor technology not only extends runtime but also reduces vibration and noise compared to traditional gas-powered units. For landscape maintenance professionals and power utility linemen who need reliable, instant-start performance in challenging work environments, this electric chainsaw eliminates fuel mixing, cold starts, and emissions concerns while maintaining the power standards required for professional-grade cutting tasks.

## Frequently asked questions

### Who is the Milwaukee 2826-20T for?

Milwaukee lists the 2826-20T for professional arborists, power utility linemen and landscape maintenance professionals. The T in the designation marks a top-handle saw, built to be handled one-handed by a climber working aloft on rope and harness. It is not a saw for untrained users making firewood at ground level.

### How much power does the Milwaukee 2826-20T have?

The Milwaukee 2826-20T is rated at 2.01 kW, or 2.7 hp. That is a lot of output for a top-handle saw, and it is delivered onto a bar of only 35.56 cm, so the chain holds its speed in limb wood instead of stalling. The battery, not the motor, sets the limit on sustained work.

### What bar length does the Milwaukee 2826-20T take?

The Milwaukee 2826-20T is specified with a 35.56 cm bar as both the recommended and the maximum length, so there is no longer option. That fixed 35.56 cm limit is deliberate on a top-handle saw: a short bar is easier to control one-handed aloft and keeps the cutting tip closer to the operator.

### Is the Milwaukee 2826-20T corded or cordless?

The Milwaukee 2826-20T is battery powered: an electric saw with no petrol, no mixing and no pull cord, which means it can be started in a tree and stays silent between cuts. Milwaukee does not list a battery, a weight or a run time in these specifications; all three depend on the pack fitted.

### Can the Milwaukee 2826-20T be used for felling trees?

The Milwaukee 2826-20T is a top-handle saw with a 35.56 cm bar, listed for arborists, linemen and landscape professionals. Top-handle saws are designed for cutting aloft, not for felling from the ground, and 35.56 cm of bar limits trunk diameter anyway. Ground felling calls for a two-handed rear-handle saw.
