Product guide

SKIL PWR CORE 20 CS4562B-10 20V 12-Inch Brushless Chainsaw Kit

SKIL PWR CORE 20 CS4562B-10 is a 20V cordless chainsaw kit with a 12-inch bar, brushless motor, 4.0Ah battery and charger. Tool-free chain tension adjustment and automatic lubrication reduce routine setup, while the compact bar and customer reports of mixed battery life make it better suited to smaller cutting jobs than extended sessions.

Pros and cons

Pros

Battery and charger are listed with the saw, so the stated kit is ready to use without a separate power source.
Tool-free tension adjustment and automatic lubrication simplify two routine chainsaw tasks.
The listing specifies an anti-kickback brake that cuts power when kickback occurs.

Cons

The 12-inch bar is a more limited cutting format than longer-bar saws and may not suit larger-diameter wood.

Frequently asked questions

What comes with the SKIL CS4562B-10 kit?

The explicit included-components list names the 20V 12-inch chainsaw, battery and battery charger. A feature bullet also claims an Easy Storage Bracket is included, so check the selected listing if that bracket matters.

Does this chainsaw need a tool to adjust chain tension?

The listing says chain tension can be adjusted with a side dial without tools.

Is the chain lubricated automatically?

Yes. The listing describes automatic lubrication, intended to reduce friction.

What kind of work is it suited to?
