Chainsaws

Chainsaw care, sharpening and safe operation

A well maintained chainsaw cuts faster, with less effort and less risk. This section explains chain sharpening, tension, bar care, oil and fuel mix, air filters and spark plugs, along with the safety habits that matter most. You will learn how to recognize a dull chain and why kickback happens. Wear a helmet, eye and ear protection, gloves and cut-resistant chaps, and take a training course if you are new. Leave major repairs to a qualified service shop.
