2. The Husqvarna 236 Chain Saw<\/strong><\/a> is a professional grade model that transcends into the domestic chainsaw field. Perfect for both professional gardeners as well as home owners faced with hard cutting tasks.<\/p>\n 3. For more cautious homeowners who need a chainsaw to perform basic tasks as safely as possible, it\u2019s tough to beat the WORX WG307E 600W Jawsaw Safety Chainsaw<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Ranging from lightweight electric models built for yard work to gas guzzling monsters designed to down trees larger that Ol\u2019 Big Ben, chainsaws have been helping man fell trees and build structures for centuries.<\/p>\n Today, they\u2019ve become so versatile they can even cut concrete and work ice blocks. However, the immense range of chainsaws currently available also means one heck of a confusing trip to the store. This segment will help break down the process and find the best chainsaw for you.<\/p>\n The guide bar is measured from the tip of the chain to where it meets the housing. This bar represents the active cutting area and dictates the largest wood length a saw can cut in a single pass. Light cutting can be accomplished with 14 \u2013 20\u201d bars while professional, heavy duty cutting will require 22\u201d to 36\u201d bars.<\/p>\n Poor handles not only make for an uncomfortable grip, they also diminish user control and increase arm fatigue. This can be very dangerous over time, so make sure you get comfortable handles.<\/p>\n It always helps to have a user friendly tool. When choosing a chainsaw, make sure it has additional features such as an automated chain oiler, oil reservoir window and a tool-less chain adjustments. You may also consider how easy\/difficult will be to sharpen the chainsaw yourself with a good quality chainsaw sharpener<\/a>\u00a0that won\u2019t cost you much.<\/p>\n Chainsaws can be dangerous tools, no matter the type. That\u2019s why all of them will have certain safety features. The primary one to look for is the chain brake which protects the user from kickback. Secondary safety gear is also important to protect the user even further. This includes hearing protection, safety glasses, protective gloves, non slip boots, and protective chaps.<\/p>\n Scoring a solid double digit rating, the Einhell GH-EC 2040 Chainsaw is a powerful, compact machine for pruning branches and downing small trees. Powered by a robust 2000 Watt motor, Einhell really managed to crank up the performance to levels rivalling some gas powered chainsaws.<\/p>\n Its blade length of 400 mm offers clean cutting results through branches with 40 a similar diameter. Slicing through branches and felling trees is made easier by a chain speed of 13.5 m\/s.<\/p>\n To give the chainsaw optimal power transmission and an even longer service life, the manufacturer used low wear metal. The large viewing window that allows for easy monitoring of the oil tank level was a really nice touch.<\/p>\n Being the best electric corded chainsaw in the UK, I\u2019m sure you can already guess what it does best. Sure, it saves you money on both the initial purchase and as well as in the long run since you won\u2019t be using any petrol. But that\u2019s not what I\u2019m talking about.<\/p>\n Where the GH-EC 2040 from Einhell really shines has to be the stack of convenience features the manufacturer managed to get in there. For starters, the additional oil container enables automated chain lubrication while a practical pivoted lever lets users change the chain tension without the need for tools.<\/p>\n The Einhell GH-EC 2040 Chainsaw is definitely a great piece of equipment, there\u2019s no question about it. Unfortunately, it\u2019s not the best that money can buy, so there are a few issues that I\u2019d like to bring into light.<\/p>\n First off, Einhell could have done a better job with the instructions; they are really unclear. It\u2019s easy to get it wrong on the first go and you don\u2019t want to have to keep backtracking. Getting the chain wrong means that the plastic guard will get an unintentional chewing and might even break off.<\/p>\n Looking at what other customers had to say, it\u2019s more than clear why the Einhell GH-EC 2040 Chainsaw makes it to the top of this list. Its solid, robust construction combined with an affordable price range is what attracts majority of the users in the first place.<\/p>\n However, the fact that it doesn\u2019t require any fuel nor does it demand regular maintenance is what makes it a favourite in numerous UK households.<\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re a professional gardener or just trying to keep your yard in check, any gardener will enjoy what the Einhell Electric Chainsaw<\/strong><\/a> has to offer. Few electric chainsaws can truly say that they match this particular saw\u2019s performance, especially not at that price range. If you want to work on a bigger area without having to replug at every other corner or use costly fuels, the GH-EC 2040 is the ideal electric option.<\/p>\n We all know the stereotype associated with gas powered models \u2013 that they\u2019re heavy and noisy. Husqvarna set out to break the stereotype and create a petrol powered engine that could almost pass for electric.<\/p>\n The Husqvarna 236 Chain Saw is a professional grade, compact saw that crosses the barrier to domestic use due to its lightweight build and user friendly nature. At only slightly above 4 kg, you don\u2019t have to be a bulky lumberjack to wield it.<\/p>\n It\u2019s fitted with Husqvarna\u2019s 38cc X-Torque petrol engine with a fuel saving feature that we\u2019ll talk about in the what it does segment. Another feature users will really enjoy is the ergonomically designed handles which now give you more varied and sure gripping positions.<\/p>\n You may not hear this term often with petrol powered chainsaws, but like I said, the Husqvarna 236 Chain Saw is breaking all barriers. This saw is actually among the manufacturer\u2019s line of eco friendly options.<\/p>\n Thanks to the X-Torq technology that gives out around 70% lower emissions than your average gas saw, you can contribute to slightly less pollution and get through work without having to breathe through a cloud of fumes. But that\u2019s not all this new tech does.<\/p>\n The X Torque goes ahead to improve fuel economy by up to 20%. But all these savings don\u2019t get in the way of performance. The 14\u201d chain saw still makes sure you can chop down some of those bigger branches and trees in the yard.<\/p>\n The Husqvarna 236 Chain Saw is among the best petrol models you\u2019re likely to get for the price. That said, the price could have come a bit lower considering some of the components the manufacturer used.<\/p>\n One particular aspect that I really have to fault Husqvarna for is their choice of plastic. The 236 is a chainsaw that could potentially be used for some occasional heavy duty cutting. So as great as the engine may be, you\u2019re definitely not getting much work done if the flimsy plastic breaks apart.<\/p>\n Likewise, I also noticed the plastic housing needs some double checking every once in a while. If the clutch cover is not properly tightened, it could just snap clean off.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re buying a petrol powered model, you can be sure that there\u2019s going to be some heavy duty cutting involved. That\u2019s why customers who buy gas powered chainsaws are the best to get reviews from.<\/p>\n As expected, lots of them were pleased with the performance and capabilities of the 236. Surprisingly, not many people are talking about the price which could mean that they got the value they were looking for.<\/p>\n Lightweight, compact, extremely powerful and more eco friendly than today\u2019s line of gas powered chainsaws, the Husqvarna 236 Chain Saw<\/strong><\/a> is definitely a new breed of equipment altogether. The fact that it uses up less fuel and gives off less pollution makes it ideal for working on the yard at home. If you expect the most out of your chainsaw and can foresee spells of extended, heavy duty cutting, you just can\u2019t beat the 236.<\/p>\n You\u2019re not a professional lumberjack, are you? If not, then you really don\u2019t need a loud, long, heavy and cumbersome chainsaw. What you need is the ultimate revolution in power saw design.<\/p>\n That\u2019s right, the WORX WG307E 600W Jawsaw Safety Chainsaw was invented to make cutting those branches and hedging as easy and as secure as possible.<\/p>\n Unlike traditional chainsaws that have the chain on the outside, this handy model incorporates a unique guardjaw design that holds your target in place while the saw does its thing. This way the chain is fully enclosed at all times for safety.<\/p>\n The JawSaw is solidly built to tackle hardwood branches and makes use of tough, steel teeth and a powerful 600 W motor for high performance.<\/p>\n As the name suggests, the WORX WG307E JawSaw is a safety saw. In fact, it\u2019s been touted as the best small safety chainsaw in the UK. So naturally, we can say that where this saw excels is in user safety and protection.<\/p>\n We already talked about the enclosed design which is the main safety feature. It keeps the bar and chain fully enclosed so there\u2019s literally zero chance of accidents. The manufacturer also included extra safety features such as left and right safety lock switches to prevent accidental starts.<\/p>\n This one\u2019s a really tough one guys. Because the WORX WG307E 600W JawSaw\u2019s strength is also its weakness. You guessed it; I\u2019m talking about the unique Jawguard design.<\/p>\n Sure, the design is what makes it the best safety chainsaw, but it\u2019s also what creates the limitations. You are limited to cutting only branches and trees whose diameter fits within the saw guards. Any bigger and the safety saw will be unable to but through.<\/p>\n While going through what other customers had to say, I kind of noticed a trend. Most of the customers seem to have bought the WORX WG307E 600W JawSaw did so for one of two reasons. To either handle some of the occasional trimming and cutting at home, or to deal with branches high up in trees.<\/p>\n But no matter the intended purpose, it\u2019s obvious that almost everyone who bought the JawSaw was happy with the purchase.<\/p>\nChainsaw Buying Guide<\/h2>\n
