Posted: November 1, 2018 |
Many are both domestic and professional users who want to buy a chainsaw or already have it, as it is a tool widely used in gardening, forestry and domestic tasks; especially in maintenance of forests and gardens, cutting of trees, pruning of vegetation, etc. In addition, with the arrival of winter increases its use to cut and chop firewood in order to load our store and thus be able to feed our fireplace or wood stove to heat our home. And as we already know, to carry out these tasks in the best possible way it is necessary to have an adequate chainsaw that gives us all the guarantees, being able to work effectively and safely. For this, today we have prepared an article in which we will talk about the main keys to take into account to choose the best chainsaw for our garden, in addition to talking about the most outstanding brands of chainsaws in the market. GUIDE: Keys to consider when choosing a chainsaw1. Wood to cut and use to give The wood that we are going to cut and the use that we are going to give to our chainsaw are very important. It is not the same to make a cut of soft and thin woods in our garden that cut down a tree. That is why, before our choice, we must know the use that we are going to give and the type of cuts we are going to make, choosing a chainsaw that is powerful enough and with a long enough sword to make the cuts that we should make. 2. Types of chainsaws Depending on the type of motor we can distinguish three types of saws: electric, battery and gasoline. · Electric chainsaws: Saws are powered by an electric motor which must always be connected to a power outlet. Normally they carry a sword of 35/40 cm of diameter and are the indicated ones for the cut of soft woods of up to 20 centimeters of diameter. · Battery powered chainsaws: They are battery-powered saws, usually from 18 to 36 volts, which offer us a very easy operation and allow you to make cuts without the need to be continuously connected to the electrical network. · Gasoline Chainsaws: They are reliable, robust, solid and powerful tools that run on gasoline. Although they require superior maintenance, they offer much more cutting power than an electric chain saw or battery thanks to the presence of a powerful gasoline powered engine. 3. Length of the sword The length of the sword is another very important decision factor. This is determined by the size of the trees to be cut. A larger sword offers us the possibility of cutting larger trees, but at the same time it is less manageable. On the other hand, shorter swords do not work for large trees but they weigh less and are easier to handle, which makes them ideal for pruning or cutting with one hand. 4. Weight of the chainsaw Another important aspect to keep in mind is the weight of the chainsaw. Think that the lighter it is, the more comfortable it will be to work with it. Therefore, if you have little or no experience operating chainsaws, it is important that you opt for a lighter chainsaw. 5. Frequency of use It is very important to determine the frequency of use with which you will use the chainsaw to choose more precisely the most suitable machine for your needs. It is recommended to buy an electric chainsaw if its frequency of use is short, otherwise if you have many trees or shrubs to prune or cut it will be better to buy a gasoline chainsaw with more power for all intensive work. 6. Quality and guarantee As with all tools, it is vital to buy a chainsaw manufactured by a trusted brand that offers us a quality tool with a good guarantee and after-sales service, in order to have accessories and spare parts whenever necessary. From our experience we recommend the brand Dolmar, from the Makita group, whose finishes in cutting tools, and their effectiveness are more than proven, earning our confidence over the years and the satisfaction of users.
