Hey! An electric mall. Look like you have this one.

Can't be a real chainsaw, 'cause it's electric!

(Nice find. Does it run? Looks like chain is on backwards?)

Passed on going to the Mall, didn't think it was ported, but left with an 029.
Damn that Stihl 029 is heavy!
Time for a mm!

Damn that's heavy!

First STIHL saws were electric. In 1926, electric motors weighed far less than the cast iron engines. It let Andreas Stihl build a power saw that only weighed 106 pounds!

chains on backwards

Noticed that too. Then I realized that the saw is designed to run on alternating current . . .

Ah ok so you flip the saw over half way through each cut

I found this electric Mall in a junque shop near Mamouth Cave several years ago. Owner wanted $150 so I left it there.
