Powerful Four HP Motor Tackles Yard Maintenance and Cleanup
Powered by an efficient four HP electric engine, the Pro 400E is perfect for cutting firewood, pruning thick tree branches and bushes, cutting through fallen trees, and tackling other around-the-house chores. It also has a lightweight, portable design that minimizes strain on your body, even after extended use.Electric Power for No-Hassle Maintenance
Because the 400E is an electric saw, it doesn't require priming pumps or gas, which can cause messes and strong odors in your yard. And thanks to the automatic chain oiler and large sight window, it's easy to maintain the proper lubrication level while you work. The 400E also operates at a lower noise level than many other models, making yard work more pleasant for you and your neighbors. Innovative Features for Precision, Control, and Safety
The 400E includes an 18-inch steel guide bar for precision and control, a comfortable trigger for instant power, and important safety features like an inertia blade brake, anti-kickback bar tip, and a wrap-around handle to help protect users from injury. Double Insulated for Safety
For additional safety, the 400E is double insulated to help protect against electric shock. Double insulation construction consists of two separate layers of electrical insulation instead of grounding. As a result, if you use an extension cord with your saw, it can be plugged into any standard 120-volt electrical outlet. The 400E is backed by a one-year warranty.

 Most electric chain saws are absolutly not heavy duty saws. Sep 07, 2010
---[[eernest4 has an associates degree in electronics & ran a major appliance repair shop for 30 years, before retiring, so he knows electric motors, drive trains and mechanics only too well.]]---
eernest4 cuts 12 cord of fire wood yearly,since 2004, mostly with electric chainsaws & a 22 ton gas log splitter.
Electric saws not heavy duty compaired to gas saws;
SO you have to be very carefull babing them in order to get a long service life from them.
The polan pro 400 E 18inch electric chain saw will need to be babied
if a long service life is desired .
That does not mean that you can't use it much, you can use it a lot !!
With care, you can run the crap out of it, until you wear the plastic teeth off the drive wheel--BUT THE SAW WILL NOT TOLARATE ANY BAD-USE.
If you abuse it ,you will lose it!
you will need to know the rules so as not to trash your saw the first day you run it.
SO HERE THEY ARE!
(1.) allow time for the electric motor to cool down , say 20 min on and 20 min off cool down period. mAYBE 30 MIN ON & 20 MIN OFF IN 40 DEG TEMPS
That way ,the motor windings can cool down instead of burning up the insulation & then short circuting $ burning open. (brunt open means lack of an electrical path through
the motors copper windings.)
When this happens no electricty flows through the motor and it stops for good.
They are thin gague copper windings & can burn out when overheated by continual running.
The electric motor is very prone to
burning out if overheated by 2 - 3 hours plus of constant running.
So allow adiquate cool down time. When my saw's motor gets hot, its time for a coffee - "and"- break.
[2,]
Avoid anything that suddenly stops the chain from moving , such as getting the blade pinched when cutting wood and beware of the chain safety break which could also break the plastic of the reduction gear when it suddenly & abruptly stops the chain from turning.
The sudden stopping actin backs up the saw's direct drive train looking for the weakest gear tooth to break.
Electric saws are DIRECT DRIVE FROM THE MOTOR and have no clutches
so that the plastic drive train just breaks if the chain gets bound, either from being pinched by wood or sudenly stoped by the chain safety break.
The centrifical clutch of a gas saw does a lot to prevent damage to the gas saw , but electic saws have no clutch , so there is no torque slipage in the electric saw and all torque is transmitted directly & immediately, to the soft,weak plastic reduction gear drive wheel.
These weak points could be eliminated, but not in a 95$saw, maybe in a 270.oo saw. BUt, whereas You would buy a 95$ saw -- when you probably won't spring for a 270.oo$ saw.
The bottom line is all important in business.
The chain safety break is there to prevent the manifactuer from being sued, it is not there to stop the chain from turning without placing damaging stress on the saw's direct plastic drive train. So, don't use the chain break unelse you have to to prevent someone being injured.
I cut about 1/3 of an inch into my ring finger, 2 years ago with a
wen 14 inch electric saw and that cost me $1500.oo in emergency room bills and 12 stiches.
The moral is that safety & avoiding a 1500.oo medical bill is more important that trashing a 95.oo saw.
So use the chain brake to avoid an accident but don't use it if you don't have to.
The plastic reduction gear drive is very prone to breakage like any plastic is.
3.
Let the saw cut at its own speed, don't pressure the chain bar down hard into the wood as this slows down the electric motor which causes the motor to pull more amps & heat up faster and also causes undo stress on the plastic reduction gear in the drive train will looking for the weak plastic gear tooth to snap off the reduction gear.
These are problems common to all cheaper electric saws but the 4 hp motor as opposed to other electic saws with only 1.5 hp motors really has the potential to rip the crap out of the cheaply made plastic reduction gear if abused in the slightest.
The reason for the cheap parts is that you didn't pay 269.95 for a husquarvarnia electric saw. You paid 95$ for a poland.
Back in the 60's and 70's , they used metal gears in the electric chain saws of the time, but these saws tended to last for 20 to 30 years and ruined repeat sales of more saws. all 3 of my mcculocks and my wen are of that type, but the 2 remington's and the 2 polands all have the plastic reduction gear, so I only expect them to last 6 to 10 years, if that, with great care on my part.
If your are carefull with it, it will last until the first time you abuse it. Some people call this "opperator error."
4.
keep you chain sharp, tight, but not too tight and oilly as this reduced strain on the drive train & electric motor.
5.
Too tight of a chain will bind up even a gas saw & too loose of a chain, while it spins more freely, just ends up flying off to chain bar.
6 pay attention to your chain tension and don't let it get very loose.
ajust it immediately upon signs of slack ,but don't overtighten the chain. when properly adjusted, it should turn, by hand, easily. Be carefull not to cut your fingrs on the chain teeth. very easy to cut yourself. grasp the chain where there are no teeth & beware of your fingers slipping. If you have to pull the chain so hard that your fingers slip,it is too tight. loosen the chain before turning the chain by hand to check for peoper chain tension.
. buy a chain saw file & holder guide for 9.oo at sears to keep your chain sharp. read the sharpening directions.
NOW YOU ARE FORWARNED , so I guess you are fourarmed,Ben 10, but I only have two arms. I also have the constitutional right to bear arms , which the democrats say means its OK to wear short sleve shirts. Go figure!!
 worth the price Aug 21, 2010
Strong and powerful. Cuts through anything in my yard with ease. Easy to work with and well balanced. Wish I had gotten rid of the gas model years ago and had this.
Glad I Went Electric Aug 16, 2010
Guys, be honest with yourselves: how are you really going to use a chainsaw? If you're eyeing a high-end Husqvarna or Echo because that's what the lumberjacks and arborists use, I hear you. I love pro-grade tools, too. With chainsaws, though, you don't necessarily get what you pay for.
I've used gas chainsaws. They're great for felling, limbing and bucking whole trees in places where electricity is unavailable or inconvenient. These days, though, I use a chainsaw no more than once or twice a year, usually for some little job that's just barely beyond the capabilities of a bow saw. When those jobs come up, I can whip out my electric Poulan, finish the work, and put the saw away before you've even gotten the choke set on your gas saw.
That's not to say that this saw won't handle a big job. It will. I had a couple of huge oaks taken down last winter, and saved a bunch of money by telling the arborists to do a "cut and run" - just drop the trees, chip the small brush, and leave the big logs behind. This saw and I had no trouble limbing and bucking pieces up to two feet in diameter.
Excellent Product Aug 05, 2010
I purchased Poulan Pro 400E 18-Inch 4 HP Electric Chain Saw about 2 months ago. I have used it to cut fallen trees from the last year's storm. Some of the trees are about 22-25 inch in diameter. The chain saw ripped through them without any problem. I am going to test it next on a 30 inch trunk that is left.
Given its very low price and easy maintenance, I highly recommend it. The only limitation is the wire length, which for those who have portable generator should not be a problem.
Happy to have switched to electric Jul 31, 2010
Just retired my gas powered Poulan and switched to the Poulan Pro 400E Electric. Good move, no compromise in power. I will gladly give up the mobility of my old gas chainsaw for the simplicity and reliability of electric. All of my cutting needs are around the house and my 100' 14 gauge cord works great and gets me where I need to be. Although the manual says a 100' cord is "not recommended", it works just fine. I actually expected to have to buy a 12 guage cord to keep from getting power drain, I was please to see my old cord works great. I just cut up a large quantity of dense 10" diameter hardwood and it didn't tax the saw at all.
A big bonus for me is not mixing gas and oil, not polluting the air and not awakening the dead (and all my neighbors) since switching to electric.
