Useful tips when choosing a Chainsaw.

A quality chainsaw will Make the job of cutting wood easier, quicker and more satisfying. 

 

Consider what you need the saw for, is it for cutting wood or chopping branches of trees. If it is to prune trees at height consider a lighter top-handle chainsaw. 

 

What size do you need, a 30cm guide bar can cut almost twice its length, that's a half metre diameter log. 

 

Think about safety features like an inertia chain brake, side chain tensioning and a chain catcher. 

 

Make sure you handle the chainsaw before you buy, if you feel comfortable handling the saw the safer you will be. It is important to find a well-balanced machine with a good power-to-weight ratio. 

 

Is the chainsaw easy to use, are the controls accessible and simple to operate? are you able to start the chainsaw easily. 

 

Petrol or Battery Powered ? The gap between the performance of Petrol and Battey Powered equipment is closing. Consider how much work you need to do and the time it will take . Can you wait for a battery to charge or will you need multiple batteries ? Is noise something you need to consider?
