[QUOTE="BobL, post: 7665095, member: 14206"] An 1800W electric CS will have the cutting power of about a 3kW gas powered saw. If a gas saw says its 4HP at 12,500 RPM, unless all you cut is 3" branches that's won't be the RPMS they cut at. Typically one that gas saw bar is buried in wood and loaded up it will be running at ~8500RPM which means its not at its max HP Electric saws have slower revs but they have way more more torque at lower revs than gas saws so you can drop the rakers a bit and get similar cut speeds. BTW that's also why CS pants don't work so well with electric saws. [/QUOTE]
