Using a cross-cutting technique when felling trees not only increases safety but also prevents your chainsaw from becoming stuck. Using an incorrect cutting technique can cause the guide bar to become pinched or the trunk to split when you don't want it to.
There is more to cutting firewood than simply taking an axe or chainsaw to it.
There is an old saying that cutting your own firewood should keep you warm twice. The first time when you are cutting the wood and the second time when you are burning it. However, that doesn't need to be the case and once you know how to properly cut firewood, things become less strenuous.
2019 is the year that Husqvarna celebrate 60 Years in the Chainsaw business! Chainsaws have come a long way from humble beginnings to the powerful and efficient tools they are today. We look back on the history of the chainsaw to the present day to see how it’s evolved.
Chainsaws are among the most efficient power tools around. Few others can move a few hundred tonne of wood with minimal effort. From felling trees to chopping firewood and carving, a high-quality all-round chainsaw is an arborist’s best friend.
