Find the right chainsaw for the job

Not all chainsaws are built the same. Depending on the type of work you’re doing, one might suit better than another. Here’s a breakdown of what’s available:

Petrol chainsaws

If you need power and endurance, petrol chainsaws are hard to beat. They're ideal for heavy-duty work like tree felling, cutting large logs or tackling overgrown bushland. They’re also great for remote areas where access to power is limited.

Electric chainsaws

Electric models are ideal for lighter, around-the-home tasks. They’re quieter, easy to use and don’t need refuelling. All you need is a power outlet and you’re good to go.

Battery-powered chainsaws

Battery chainsaws offer the freedom of cordless use without the weight or noise of petrol. Great for mobility and convenience, they suit both home users and professionals needing quick cuts or cleanup work.

What to consider when choosing your chainsaw

Finding the right chainsaw isn’t just about power; it’s about choosing the one that fits your work style and environment. Think about how often you'll use it and what you’ll be cutting. Key things to keep in mind:

• Bar length: Longer bars cut thicker wood but may be harder to handle.
• Weight and grip: A lighter saw with a comfortable grip makes longer jobs easier.
• Power source: Go petrol for demanding tasks, or battery/electric for quick clean-ups.
• Brand: Stick with reliable names that offer local support and parts.

How to look after your chainsaw

A bit of maintenance can go a long way in keeping your chainsaw running smoothly. Whether you're using it once a week or once a season, these simple checks will help it last longer and cut cleaner.

• Sharpen the chain regularly using a round file or sharpener
• Keep the chain oil topped up to reduce friction and wear
• Clear out sawdust and debris from around the chain and housing
• Check and adjust chain tension before every use
• Store your chainsaw in a dry, well-ventilated space

Taking the time to look after your saw will not only improve performance but also reduce the risk of injury or breakdowns.

FAQs

Why were chainsaws invented?

Chainsaws were originally created in the medical field but quickly evolved into a tool for logging and forestry. Today, they’re widely used in gardening, arboriculture and construction.

How do I sharpen a chainsaw?

You can sharpen a chainsaw using a round file, a sharpening guide or an electric sharpener. Make sure you match the file size to the chain and file each tooth evenly.

How do I choose the right chainsaw for my needs?

It depends on the size of the wood you’re cutting, how often you’ll use it and your comfort level with power tools. For heavy-duty work, go petrol. For backyard jobs, battery or electric models work well.

Are battery-powered chainsaws as powerful as petrol chainsaws?

Many modern battery models now match or come close to petrol chainsaws in performance, especially for light to medium-duty work. They’re also quieter, easier to maintain and start instantly.

Can I use a chainsaw in wet weather?

Avoid using corded electric chainsaws in wet conditions. Battery and petrol models can be used if it’s only damp, but it’s always best to work when surfaces are dry to reduce the risk of slipping or damaging the tool.

What safety gear should I wear when using a chainsaw?

Always wear:

• Safety goggles or face shield
• Ear protection
• Gloves with good grip
• Chainsaw trousers or chaps
• Steel-capped boots

Even for quick jobs, safety gear can make a big difference.
