An electric powered chainsaw is an ideal tool for use around the home or garden, especially when the time of year comes when tidying up and maintenance of the garden is required.
When compared to a petrol powered machine, an electric chainsaw is easier to use, requires less maintenance and servicing, and without having a need to carry fuel on board, are usually lighter in weight as well.
There are very few limitations with regards to an electric chainsaw, the main one being just portability due to the need for the tool to have a trailing power cable to supply the electric supply to it.
As with petrol driven models all electric chain saws have a built in oil lubrication tank and lubrication system to keep the saws chain blade well oiled and allow it to cut easier.
As with all chainsaws it is important to use appropriate safety equipment and protective workwear when using any type of electric chainsaw. Gloves, goggles (or full face visor), safety helmet, are just a few of the items any chainsaw user should wear.
Most electric chainsaws tend to have a cutter bart of around 14" to 16" in size. This is the most popular size range for felling small trees, saplings, and logging work in the garden.
For larger work it is uually best to appoint the services of a tree surgeon or professional landscaper / gardener. This is especially the case if overhead cutting or pruning work is needed.
Most electric chainsaw models are aimed at the diy or light professional user. For this reason this type of portable power tool tends to be made and sold under the leading DIY brands of garden machinery.
In this brand line up are popular makes that include Bosch, Black and Decker, Ryobi, Handy, Alpina, and Draper.
