Previously, consumers could not purchase almost any chain saws, with the exception of Druzhba or the Urals. Awkward, heavy and inconvenient in operation mechanisms have been replaced by a number of modern professional tools that meet the requirements of both professionals and ordinary people.
Instructions
Step 1
Ask yourself why you need a chain saw. For what purposes, how much are you willing to spend on purchasing a tool. Choose a household chainsaw if you need it occasionally. These low-power units are designed to operate for up to twenty hours a month. This will amount to forty minutes of work per day. This amount of time is quite enough to cut firewood for a sauna or fireplace.
Step 2
Stop your choice on a semi-professional tool if you have to work from repair and restoration to felling. They can be used for eight to ten hours a day for a long time. They are used in felling sites as delimbers.
Step 3
Get yourself a professional saw with a power of over 2.5 kilowatts for felling. They can work daily up to sixteen hours. The top priority is that they can be operated for eight hours without interruption.
Step 4
Pay attention to the resource of the chain saw, for the time before being sent for overhaul and the presence of service organizations. Pay attention to the choice of operating modes of the chainsaw and avoid overloading the engine.
Step 5
Select a saw with the appropriate power. This is an important parameter that characterizes the activity of the instrument and determines the conditions of applicability. Match the chain with respect to engine power.
Step 6
Purchase a saw equipped with an inertia brake. This will prevent kickback during the sawing process. This is a sharp throw of the tool towards the operator when the end of the tire meets the surface of the wood.
Step 7
Give preference to a chain saw with an anti-vibration system. Lack of vibration protection can lead to poor circulation in the hands. The simplest type of protection is rubber gaskets between the motor and the saw handles. When buying, ask to start the instrument and hold it in your hands.
Step 8
Buy chains for professional use. Their vibration level is higher, but the productivity is much higher. It is these chains that are used for felling and crosscutting trees. For cutting dirty and frozen wood, purchase special chains with carbide taps.
Step 9
Choose accessories (chain, bar, sprocket) of the same brand when choosing a saw headset.
Step 10
After purchasing a chain saw, run it in for thirty to forty minutes at low speeds. This will correspond to one tank fill of gasoline. After the initial check of the tool, fill the chainsaw with fuel, oil and get to work.
