Why is it that chainsaws need a pull cord to start? Couldn’t they just be turned off or on with a switch?

My battery powered chain saw does just that, with WAY less maintenance than my previous gas powered (and somewhat more powerful) chainsaws. 🙂

If you are trimming/maintaining a not large property (3-4 acres) 3-4 times a year, a good battery powered saw and 2 batteries is about all you need. If you are clearing land, and/or using a saw frequently, more power is worth it.
