Buying Guides of Electric Chainsaw

Cutting logs for the winter, trimming, and removing that pesky tree in the garden will all be made easier by your trusty Chainsaw! Electric or gasoline-powered, with little or large chopping capacity, the options are numerous. Let's get right to it!

What is a Chain Saw?

Every chainsaw performs the same basic purpose. An electric or gasoline-powered motor propels a metal chain with saw blades, or teeth, around a guide bar. The more powerful the chainsaw, the longer the guiding bar. Sharper teeth are easier to cut, but they are also more dangerous (kickback, chain leaping).

Modern chainsaws generally include different safety features (having to operate them with both hands, a chain brake, anti-kickback feature, anti-vibration system, and so on), but using a chainsaw still necessitates careful attention and the proper safety equipment.

Before purchasing an Electric ChainSaw, consider how you intend to use it. The type and model of Chainsaw required to cut some timber once a year before the cold will differ from the one required to cut down trees daily. Here are a few things to think about to make the right decision.

Types of Chain Saw

1. Pole chainsaw

Very useful for reaching high twigs without climbing a tree or a ladder with the chainsaw. The motor, whether electric or gasoline-powered, is located near the handle, while the chain and guide bar are located at the end of a pole. 

Some poles are hard, while others are flexible. Chainsaw heads are typically adjustable. The power ranges from 600 to 1500 W. Not to be mistaken with the pole pruner, which has the engine at the end of a pole, making it more difficult to use.

2. Pole pruner

Pole pruners, both electric and petrol, are lightweight, easy to use, and have a cutting capability of less than 35 cm. It is operated with one hand for a specific sort of cut and branch, making it more practical but also more risky for beginners. Its power output is typically between 1200 and 1800 W.

3. Standard chainsaw

The all-purpose chainsaw has a 45 cm guide bar and is intended for heavy duty. It's ideal for cutting wood, pruning branches, and felling trees with little branches, whether it's electric or gasoline-powered. It requires two hands to operate and demands care and attention, especially with the most powerful ones (>2500 W).

4. Felling chainsaw

The felling chainsaw with an indicative bar of more than 45 cm is designed for specialists and is best suited to difficult activities, such as tree felling. Some experience is required for the safe operation of a heavy-to-use fuel engine with powerful output (2500-6500W). 

The length of the cut spans from 45 to 80 cm. It is not appropriate for hedge trimming or pruning due to its heaviness and bulk.

Uses of Chainsaw

The type and model of chainsaw required to cut some wood once a year before winter will be different from the one required to cut down trees on a daily basis. Here are a few things to learn before making your decision.

Chainsaw applications include:

1. Occasional Pruning. To trim or prune a small number of tree gardens, an electric pole pruner will be a great tool to work through it. As a result, you can easily reach those difficult-to-reach branches and clip them. In addition, your tool will require very little maintenance. It must have a power range of 600 to 800 W.
2. Intensive Pruning. An electric pole pruner is required for frequent and thorough pruning. The guiding bar is up to 35 cm long and powered by a 25 - 40 cc fuel engine of 1000-2000 W.
3. Cutting and Maintenance. Electric chainsaws are not intended for frequent use, so if you intend to use it frequently, opt for a gasoline chainsaw. Select a powerful engine (>35 cc) and an adjustable guide bar (up to 45 cm).

How to use a Chainsaw

Every chainsaw performs the same basic purpose. An electric or gasoline-powered motor propels metal chains with saw blades, or teeth, around a guide bar. The more powerful the chainsaw, the longer the guiding bar. Sharper teeth are easier to cut, but they are also more dangerous (kickback, chain leaping).

The paddle, or deadman's switch, is an extra safety device that ensures the tool only runs when held in both hands and stops any spinning if the switch is withdrawn. When using an Electric ChainSaw, certain safety precautions must be taken. First, you should outfit yourself with personal protection equipment, such as a dust mask, ear protectors, and safety goggles.

The protective clothes should shield you from sparks that shoot up using the Chainsaw. There should also be little chance of your clothing catching fire during the operation.

How much should your budget be before buying a Chainsaw?

Purchasing a chainsaw is similar to purchasing any other item. There are numerous options available at a variety of prices. And all you want to know is how much money you'll need for a good saw, right? I have some wonderful news.

Most petrol or Electric ChainSaw appropriate for occasional pruning of trees or modest firewood cutting cost between $150 and $300. Heavy-duty tasks, such as chopping big amounts of firewood, necessitate more powerful gas chainsaws costing between $400 and $700. A good chainsaw should cost between $120 and $250 when purchased from a large tool merchant.

Things to consider before buying an Chainsaw

Here are three important recommendations that you must keep in mind before buying and using an Electric ChainSaw.

1. Avoid attempting a balancing act while using a chainsaw at the top of an unsteady ladder.
2. Before starting the engine, check to make sure the Chainsaw is in good operating order and read the user handbook to avoid injury (no loose screws or pieces) and that the chain brake is engaged.
3. If you're using the Chainsaw for home improvement reasons, such as carpentry, be careful not to cut the tips, or you'll have to sharpen the chain faster than planned.

Maintenance tips for Chainsaw

1. The chain tension on all chainsaws must be adjusted each time they are used. Check the oil flow and lubrication in the same way.
2. Check the tension of the chain frequently when using it for an extended duration of time (two hours or more).
3. Lubricate the sprocket nose at the end of the guiding bar and check for burrs that could cause the links to jump.
4. Check the guide bar regularly for burrs and rips.
