Electric chainsaw

If you mainly work around the house, in the garden or in the workshop, an electric chainsawis a practical choice . It offers consistent performance, lower noise levels and easier maintenance than a petrol model.

Petrol and professional chainsaws

A petrol chainsaw makes sense for firewood, thicker pieces and work away from the mains. If you use the saw frequently, it is worth considering a professional chainsaw with greater comfort, lower vibrations and better durability.

Small, mini and one-handed chainsaws

A small chainsaw, mini chainsaw or one-handed chainsawis ideal for quick pruning of branches and minor trimming . You’ll appreciate their light weight and easy handling. For large logs, however, opt for a more powerful saw with a longer guide bar.

How to look after your chainsaw?

After use, clean the guide bar and chain of sawdust, check the chain tension and top up the lubricating oil. A dull chain cuts slowly, overheats the saw and increases the effort required.

When sharpening the chain, use a suitable file or grinder and maintain the original cutting angle. If the chain is significantly damaged, it is safer to replace it or have it serviced by a professional.
