Unlike all other mechanically driven saws, the chain saw is very different, as it is gas operated. It has a two-stroke engine that produces one horsepower for every pound it weighs.
The chain saw can be a very dangerous tool, if you do not know how to use it. Chain saws are very powerful. They make cutting firewood, small trees or fallen trees easier. But many accidents occur as a result of mishandling the chain saw that could have otherwise been prevented.
A majority of accidents result from the misuse of the saw's moving chain. So when using the tool, you have to be familiar with its parts. Proper practice with the saw is essential to learning how to safely operate it.
Another important rule is never to work alone when working with chain saws. Having someone to assist you ensures safety and protection.
There are different types of chain saws available. Figuring out which one is the right one for you is very easy. It all depends on the extent of use, as well as on how often you intend to use it. Lightweight saws are only good for occasional cutting of limbs, small trees and firewood. If you will use it more frequently, middleweight saws are more appropriate. Heavyweight saws are usually designed for professional use.
Anybody can learn to use chain saws, along with proper safety precautions. If you plan to use a chain saw, do not use one that is too heavy for you to handle. If you are just a beginner, start with a smaller, lightweight saw until you become familiar with the tool. You do not want to get hurt while using a saw, so always be alert and cautious with this potentially dangerous tool.
