Electric Chainsaws

Electric chainsaws: a bit of history

The electric saw came to life in the middle of the 20th century.
Until then, in fact, the cutting and demolition of plants and shrubs were carried out with the use of manual axes and saws. The first chainsaw was conceived by Andreas Stihl in 1950: it was a real innovation, not only because this new tool was more manageable and light compared to traditional hand saws, but mainly because it could be used by a single operator and therefore suitable also for domestic use.
A few years after the first chainsaw, other models were launched on the market, such as the CONTRA model, which drastically changed forest work, becoming an absolutely essential tool for cutting and abating plants and shrubs.

 

Electric chainsaws: what they are made of and how they work

Widespread tools also suitable for domestic environments to cut wood or garden plants, the electric chainsaws are composed of several elements:

  • usually a 2-stroke engine;
  • a guide bar that houses the rotating cutting chain;
  • a double handle;
  • two separate tanks for storing previously mixed fuel and lubricating oil;
  • a safety device able to block the movement of the blade in case of emergency.

Usually, the chainsaw's controls are positioned close to the second handle in order to guarantee a simpler operation.
Here you can find both the air knob and the gas lever as well as the button for switching on.

 

Electric chainsaws: some practical tips

Electric saws have a fair level of danger and therefore it is always advised to use them with the utmost care.
Electric saws also also require frequent maintenance.
Here are some tips for maintaining your chainsaw:

  • make sure that the chain lubricant is always in the appropriate tank. If not well lubricated, the chain can risk breaking or being seriously damaged;
  • to cut safely and without excessive effort, always check that the spinning chain is well sharpened;
  • always remember to use a fuel with a mixture in order to prevent the seizing of the engine.

Lastly, during use always remember to insert the block in case you decide to support the chain saw on the ground without turning it off.
