If you think 40 volts is good try the - 80-volt - 5-ah battery - 10" Bar - 6 ft / 8ft foot Kobalt Pole Saw. No cable. I’m using an Oregon Bar and Chain. I have been using it for more than 3 years now and love it. It works great on my southeast Louisiana farm clearing property that a hurricane went through and trashed all the trees in the woods of our 20-acre farm. I carry it all over our woods and the battery lasts a long time. Today I'll be cutting a 6-inch limb off of a tree out front. I also have (2) 80-volt 5-ah batteries 18" chain saws they are awesome.
The 80v tools work good too. I've got a couple, but haven't used them enough to do videos. I want to give them a good workout before doing a video. I hope you guys have recovered from the latest bad weather. Down where you live, you need a chainsaw just to fight off the mosquitos. Thanks for watching.
Mike. I have the same model. My question is, can you upgrade the chain bar and chain to a 14 inches on this pole saw? I can’t find any videos or any info in the Owners Manual. Thank you.
@@MikeM100 Thank you for your prompt reply. You are right. I just talked to Kobalt Cust. Service earlier today and this model has no upgrade bar or chain higher than 10 in. If you upgrade it will void the warranty. Thanks again for your response.
I tried my 14 inch Oregon bar and it did fit, but it makes the saw pretty heavy. My main concern is that the saw body is plastic and would not handle the stress of the longer bar. And it would potentially be dangerous in case the saw slings itself apart. And then there's the pole. The pole is not super strong.

@@MikeM100 - Everything is good. Strange that the mosquitos don't usualy bother me, but the terrorize the rest of my family. 🙂

That should work if you can find a bar that will fit, but I would not recommend it. The saw body is not made for a 14 inch bar.
