A chainsaw is a powerful tool that cuts through wood. Chainsaws are a popular choice for people who have the need to cut down trees or other large objects quickly and efficiently. If you’re looking for a chainsaw, then we’ve got you covered! We’ll show you how to choose the right chainsaw by examining three factors: size, power, and handle type.

Size: chainsaws can vary in size, but typically a chainsaw will fall within one of three categories. If you have an average-sized yard and medium to small trees, then a 16″ – 20″ chainsaw may be the right fit for you! For larger yards or more dense tree populations, go with a 24″+ chainsaw. For tackling the most challenging projects, choose a chainsaw with 36″+ bar length and 14″ – 16″ cutting depth.

Power: different chainsaws have different levels of power. Manual chainsaws require physical labor to use while electric or gas-powered chainsaws save you energy! Electric models are best for people who do not have a lot of outdoor space or who are concerned about the environment. Gas chainsaws usually have higher power but require more maintenance and safety precautions like oiling, changing spark plugs, cleaning air filters, etc., so consider this before buying one if you’re not experienced with these types of repairs.

Handle Type: chainsaw handles can be found in two types: top handle and under-handle.Top Handle chainsaw handles are more traditional, letting the user control the saw with a motion of their arm up towards themselves as opposed to reaching out away from themselves; this is easier on your back but sometimes difficult for taller individuals because you need clearance over your head when cutting overhead branches. Under-Handle chainsaw handles are more ergonomic, letting the user control the saw with a motion of their arm down towards themselves as opposed to reaching up away from themselves; this is easier on your back but sometimes difficult for shorter individuals because you need clearance under your head when cutting overhead branches.

Blade Type: chainsaws can have either an automatic or a manual, chain-tightening system. Automatic chainsaws are powered by gasoline and require you to pull the start cord; these saws offer more power but have drawbacks such as loss of power at higher elevations due to thinner air. Manual chainsaws are powered either manually with a hand crank or electrically via an extension cord from the power grid.

Fuel: chainsaw fuel is typically gasoline or diesel, but it can also come in the form of kerosene or ethanol. Chainsaws that run on gas are usually more powerful than those that run solely on other types of fuel and therefore require a little less maintenance as well as being cheaper to purchase; however, they need a power source to start them.

Chain: one of the most important parts of any chainsaw is its chain; this part cuts through wood and needs to be replaced from time to time in order for it to work properly (expect anywhere from 100 hours or six months). Chains can be either two-stroke or four-stroke chains. The type of chain you need depends on the application – for example, if you’re cutting up trees to make firewood, a two-stroke chainsaw is best as it’s designed for cutting through hardwood with ease.

Gas: chainsaws are often powered by gas, which is one of the reasons they’re so loud – you can hear that motor working! Chainsaws will work on a variety of fuels including gasoline and kerosene; while both types have disadvantages (gasoline doesn’t last as long, kerosene is not as easy to start), they both work well and are environmentally friendly.

Throttle: chainsaws have a throttle that regulates the speed at which it cuts. Changing this can be difficult if you’re used to using an electric or battery-powered saw – but in most cases, you’ll want the chainsaw’s chain to be in the proper position before cutting

Safety: chainsaws are dangerous. Chainsaw blades can kick up and cut you, the chain might break unexpectedly or jump off of a log (which is called “kickback”), or one side of your saw blade might hit something that throws it out of balance – these risks all come with experience which you’ll get with time

Shorter chainsaws: these are easier to control and use in tight spaces. They’re cheaper than full-length saws, but they take more strokes per cut because of the smaller blade size – which can make them difficult to work with for long periods of time.
