Portland 14" Electric Chainsaw from Harbor Freight
In this video I’ll give an initial overview of the Portland 14-in electric chainsaw from Harbor Freight, highlighting its features and during a first-time usage.
A couple important points to begin with: always check the oil level before operation. (the chainsaw includes oil in the box). The oil reservoir is positioned at an awkward angle, requiring users to lift the saw for filling. The tension of the chain is adjustable via a convenient knob to ensure it is neither too tight nor too loose.
Be sure to use a good quality and strong power cord to power up. The saw does not come with a carrying case but a blade cover is included. The saw lacks an automatic blade brake, which is a common safety feature in higher-end models.
We’ll take a look at a few different cuts, be sure you are wearing the proper safety gear, including eye and ear protection.
Overall, while this chainsaw may not be suitable for professionals, it can be a good choice for occasional users due to its affordability.
