Garden Chain Saw
Chain saws aren’t only for property owners with large, wooded lots. Small, less expensive models are ideal for gardeners with small suburban lots and only a few trees. They make quick work of a small tree or an overgrown shrub.
Features of Chain Saws to consider:
- Gas vs. electric. Gas chain saws are heavier but more powerful; electric chain saws are lighter and quieter but have a cumbersome cord.
- Power. The higher the rpm (revolutions per minute), the faster and smoother (with less vibration) the saw will cut. That means it’s less likely to kick back and is therefore safer. In general, the larger the material, the larger the chain saw you’ll need. Also note a machine’s bhp (brake horsepower) or kilowatts (kW). Some manufacturers calculate a power-to-weight ratio, kW/kg (kilowatts per kilogram), expressed as a percent. In all these cases, the higher the number the more powerful the machine.
- Weight. Lift the chain saw and estimate how easily you could handle it for a half hour to an hour.
- Blade length. A 16inch bar may be able to cut small branches, but a professional grade 32-inch bar will let you cut without bending over, a major back saver.
- Safety features. Look for antikickback devices on small chain saws. Also look for a chain brake, which stops a moving chain if it breaks; a throttle trigger lock, which locks the throttle trigger while the chain saw is idling to prevent the accidental opening of the throttle; and a chain catcher, which catches a broken or jumping chain.
