Why do you need a chainsaw?

Whether you're maintaining your garden, preparing firewood for winter, or working professionally outdoors, a chainsaw is an essential tool.
Both homeowners and professionals value its versatility, efficiency, and power.

A wood chainsaw can be used for pruning trees, cutting firewood, or handling heavy-duty tasks like clearing land or felling trees on a farm.

Investing in a high-quality chainsaw not only ensures faster and more effective work, but also enhanced safety thanks to modern protection technologies.
To combine comfort and performance, it’s important to buy a chainsaw that truly meets your needs.

How does a chainsaw work?

A chainsaw operates via an engine that drives a sharp-toothed chain designed to cut through wood quickly and cleanly.
The engine can be:

• petrol-powered
• electric
• battery-operated

Chain tension plays a key role in maintaining cutting performance.
Modern chainsaws feature:

• an instant chain brake
• ergonomic handle
• anti-vibration system

This makes the tool easier to control and reduces user fatigue.
A pruning chainsaw is specially designed for precision work such as cutting high branches.

What are the different types of chainsaws?

The market offers several types of chainsaws, each tailored to specific tasks:

• Petrol chainsaws: powerful and independent, suitable for intensive jobs like tree felling or cutting large volumes of wood.
• Electric chainsaws: lightweight and easy to use, ideal for domestic work but require connection to a power outlet.
• Battery chainsaws: eco-friendly, quiet, and cordless. Great for light or medium tasks without the restriction of a cord.
• Pruning chainsaws: compact, maneuverable, and designed for high-branch trimming and precision pruning.
  
  

How to choose the right chainsaw?

To buy a chainsaw that suits your needs, consider the following:

• Power source: a petrol chainsaw is best for heavy work; electric or battery-powered models suit light or occasional use.
• Power rating: measured in kW (for electric) or hp (for petrol), this defines the cutting capacity.
• Bar length: longer bars handle larger trunks but require more power and experience.
• Safety features: must include a chain brake and vibration reduction system.
• Maintenance: look for features like tool-free chain tensioning and automatic chain lubrication.
• Weight and ergonomics: a lightweight, well-balanced chainsaw improves comfort and reduces risk.
• Use case: choose a pruning chainsaw for trees and branches, or a professional chainsaw for forestry and construction.
  
  

What extra features should you look for?

Advanced chainsaws may offer:

• easy-start systems for petrol models
• transparent oil tanks to check lubrication levels
• anti-kickback mechanisms
• safety switch locks for secure storage
• low-noise engines (especially in battery models)
