Owning a chainsaw is becoming very common these days. With the increasing popularity of wood heaters, people see
the chainsaw as a necessity to cut wood to size to fit in the wood heater chamber. Chainsaws also come in handy around
the yard when it comes to cutting back trees and overhanging branches. Therefore, what do you need to look at when buying
a new or used chainsaw?
Firstly, decide what you need to chainsaw for. What sort of jobs will you be doing? If it is just pruning of small
branches around the house, you can consider getting a smaller sized electric chainsaw. These are very hand around the
house when you have got easy access to electricity. Electric chainsaws are quiter than other varieties, lighter, and
easier to handle. However, they are generally only suitable for small sized braches, normally no more than 20cm in
diameter. Also, you must watch out for the cord that powers the electric chainsaw, as it tends to get in the way.
The last thing you want to do its cut through the power source!
If you are going out bush to collect firewood, or if you may need to cut fallen trees that are blocking tracks,
you need to consider a more heavy duty chainsaw that is self powered by petrol or gasoline. These chainsaws provide
you with the power you need and the freedom to use it where ever you need. Petrol powered chainsaws are a lot more
noisy than the electric saw, heavier and harder to handle. Therefore you need to get the required safety equipment
to make sure you get the job done safely.
When choosing a chainsaw, look for ones that have shock absorbing handles, anti-kickback chains and
emergency stop features in case you get into trouble.
The power of the chainsaw is measured by horse-power. The larger the horse power, the more power you
have at your disposal. However, the more horse power you have, the more costly it is to run the chainsaw,
and that usually means the more it costs to repair and maintain. If you don’t have enough horse power,
you may have to over work the motor to cut through the wood. Therefore, workout what you need to do and
buy a chainsaw accordingly.
Safety Equipment Needed When Using A Chainsaw
Chainsaws are notoriously dangerous to use. One of the most common type of accident that occurs
is known as the kickback. This occurs when the chain, at the end of the guide bar, gets caught, resulting
in the bar being thrown upward and back toward the person using the chainsaw.
Therefore, you really need to use safety gear when ever using a chainsaw. One of the most
important pieces of safety equipment are goggles to protect your eyes from flying wood chips.
Ear muffs are important to protect your ears from the very high pitch noise that the chainsaw
generates, especially of you use the saw for prolonged periods.
Gloves not only protect your hands from flying wood chips, but also absorb the vibrations and continual
shocks from operating a chainsaw.
Finally, get some chaps, preferably that are Kevlar belted, to protect you legs from flying chips,
and the blade of the saw itself.
How To Sharpen Your Blunt Chainsaw Chain
New chainsaws are designed to cut wood efficiently and effectively. The chain is designed to slice
through, and actually pull the bar down into the wood, making the process relatively easy.
However, if the thin, but tough coat of chrome on the chain is damaged, it doesn’t take long for
the chain to become blunt and require maintenance. The main culprit that damages the chain on
the chainsaw is dirty wood. If you cut wood near the ground, it is likely grit will be unavoidable,
resulting in the chain becoming relatively blunt over time.
When To Sharpen Your Chainsaw Chain
You will realise you need to sharpen you chain when you need to push the saw through the wood,
rather than then saw bar being pulled down through the wood, known as self feeding, which should
happen when the chain is sharp.
A second sign that your chainsaw is blunt is the type of discharge that is produced. If the chain
is blunt it will produce messy dust rather than wood chips.
Finally, look at the chain. Is it shiny? If so, the chrome has probably worn away, leaving the steel
underneath. It is time to sharpen the chain.
How To Sharpen A Chain On A Chainsaw
If you are out cutting wood and the chain has become so blunt that you have to apply excessive force
to cut, it is time to sharpen that chain. It is best to get back to a workshop or shed to do this properly.
If you are in a hurry, try to have a spare chain ready to replace the blunt chain. This is the quickest and
easiest way to carry on cutting wood.
When back at the workshop, make sure that you have a solid bench to work on, there is good lighting and you
have a pair of safety gloves.
There are three angles to sharpen a chainsaw chain. A round file, held at the right angle will sharpen all
three at the same time. However, it must be the right diameter. The only way to get the right diameter round
file is to check your owners manual. If you don’t have one, take the chainsaw to a repair shop and get advice.
For best results, remove the burs from the side and top plates and sharpen the top edge. To get a consistent
angle get a file guide. Place the file guide over the chain and set the file. File with complete stokes applying
pressure only on the downward stoke. That is because the file only cuts in one direction. To make the process
easier, file one side of the chain first, then complete the other side.
Don’t use a file that is too big or angle the file too high as it puts a back cut on the chain, as it wont sharpen
properly and you will still have to put pressure on the saw to cut. However the reverse is also true, if you use
a file that is too small or you have the file too low. This tends to put a hook on the chain and when you use the
chainsaw initially it will bite into the wood, which can lead to dangerous situations. You will find that the chain
will also go blunt quickly.
The important thing is to make sure that the upper corner has been sharpened and the chrome surface has been restored.
If you have sharpened the chain before, check the depth using a depth gauge jointing tool.
Finally, remember to always follow the chainsaw’s manufactures recommendations to ensure that you keep your chainsaw
chain sharp and in peak working condition.

The reviews look at both the
poitive and negative aspects of the chainsaw, and also if the saw is as good as they thought it would be for different types of work. For
example, some found that the chainsaw they had was not big enough to do cut the wood that they thought it could. This type of information
could save you money.
