A petrol chainsaw
The most famous is the petrol chainsaw . This type of chainsaw offers a wide variety of power and strength. It goes without saying that the petrol chainsaw is suitable for practically every job, both for private and professional users.
For private use of a chainsaw, you should think of the occasional sawing of trees or thicker branches in and around your yard. Borrow for this the light models petrol chainsaws excellent: more than enough power, but not too big.

There is a wide range for the really heavy work in forestry heavy duty petrol chainsaws . The machines from this higher segment make even the toughest job a piece of cake.
Petrol chainsaws are larger and heavier than the alternatives explained below. In addition, they are also less environmentally friendly due to the use of petrol and the noise produced by the engines.
A battery powered chainsaw
The battery chainsaw has, like other battery-powered garden machines, become very popular in recent years. No CO2 emissions, extremely quiet in use and surprising performance…
People still think that the power of a battery chainsaw is smaller than the traditional petrol-powered variant. Nothing could be further from the truth! The battery capacity offers at least as much power as an average petrol chainsaw. A battery-powered chainsaw is therefore ideal for most jobs. In addition, the battery capacity has improved enormously, so that you can carry out your job carefree and no tree remains intact.
TIP : an extra battery ensures that you can always keep working with your chainsaw.
The cordless chainsaw is gaining ground not only among private individuals, but also among professionals. Because of the performance, but also because of the environmental friendliness and minimal noise production. Great for yourself, the client and the environment!

An electric chainsaw
The electric chainsaw is the lightest version and is used for smaller jobs around the house. Think of sawing firewood or removing thinner branches or tree stumps.
There is also one for work that requires precision electric chainsaw a good choice!
Saw blade: long or short?
The saw blade length depends entirely on the job you are going to do. For smaller trees with a diameter of up to 35 centimetres, you can get by with a saw blade of at least 30 centimetres.
Are you going for thicker trees? Then choose a leaf length of at least 35 or 40 centimeters. The length of the saw blade is less important for sawing branches or firewood.
The ability: what is wisdom?
A chainsaw with a large power gives more power. Often a larger chainsaw also has a greater power.
For petrol chainsaws, the power is indicated in kilowatts (kW). The range of petrol chainsaws is large with varying powers. From light to incredibly heavy and the same applies to the size and weight.
The power of battery chainsaws is expressed in Wh (watt hours). This power varies on average between 72 Wh for a light battery saw and 180 Wh or more for a heavier battery chainsaw.
For the electric we recognize the powers that as watts are expressed.
The power you need depends on the job. Rule of thumb: the heavier the job, the greater the power. Or: the longer the job, the more power. More power makes sawing easier and the machine does the job without pushing the limits.
The sawing speed
The cutting speed or chain speed is expressed in meters per second (m/2). This speed determines how fast you can saw. With a sawing speed from 12 m/s you are good for most jobs.
Here too, the more power, the greater the range in sawing speed.
