More information on Chainsaws

Chainsaws

Petrol Chainsaws

There are a numerous petrol chainsaw brands available which cater for the occasional domestic user who simply wishes to saw up logs for the wood burner and maybe undertake some limbing work on small trees. The 2-stroke engines on these petrol chainsaws will generally be between 30-40cc, whilst the guide bar (the metal blade on which the chain sits) will be anything in length from 12 to 18 inches.

Other types are referred to as hobby or multi-purpose petrol chainsaws. These are aimed primarily at the domestic user seeking a high quality professional-grade chainsaw for regular use around the garden and are also popular for work on farms and estates or for those with their own wood to maintain. These saws are powered by 2-stroke petrol engines ranging in power from about 40-50cc. Guide bars range in size between 12-18 inches.

Professional petrol chainsaws for continuous use by foresters, local authorities and landscapers, employ high powered engines in excess of 50cc.

Electrical Chainsaws

If you live in a residential area where noise is an issue or if you wish to undertake work in an enclosed space, electrical powered chainsaws are a more practical option. Electric chainsaws are low-noise and - unlike petrol chainsaws - emission free. For light duty work around the yard and garden a number of inexpensive electric chainsaw models are available for under 100 euro (most with 14 inch guide bars). Larger sized 16 inch electric chainsaws are also available.
