A chainsaw is a tool, and like any other tool must be learned for it to be used properly and efficiently. The object is to achieve more than you would normally do so under manual power.


A chainsaw is comprised of many parts:

The powerhead......is the motor that drives the device, and the part in which the operator manipulates to perform the task.



The bar.......is the part in which allows the chain revolves to manipulate the object being cut.



The chain.....the actual implement that contacts the media being manipulated.



Each of these systems work in concert to facilitate the desired action of cutting. Any one part that is not operating to desired effect, will inhibit the other two in producing desired results.
