The Buyer’s Guide
Electric chainsaws differ in a number of factors. Which model is the best electric chainsaw for you depends primarily on its area of application. It is therefore advisable to orientate yourself towards the respective application when buying. Below we show ten important buying factors for electric chainsaws.
Sword Length
The sword length shows how long the rail of the respective model is. A small electric chainsaw with a blade length between 35 and 40 centimeters is sufficient for a lot of gardening work. If you want to cut wood with a saw, it is best to use a model with a larger sword.
Performance
A cheap electric chainsaw is often less powerful than a more expensive model. Whether such a model is sufficient for you depends on your intended use. For a lot of classic gardening work, a model with a lower output of around 900 to 1500 watts is sufficient. In some cases, it is worth buying a more powerful device. For example, if you want to saw hardwood, it is best to use a chainsaw with an output of over 2,000 watts.
Chain Speed
The chain speed relates to idling. Accordingly, a lower cutting speed is possible during the sawing work. Slow and steady cutting is often safer as it grants better control over the process.
Weight
A light electric chainsaw is easier to handle than a heavy model. Therefore, a model with a maximum weight of 5 kilograms, on the one hand, is an advantage. On the other hand, you should keep in mind that many higher-performing models are heavier.
Volume
The manufacturers indicate the volume in decibels. Ideally, the model has a volume of no more than 95 decibels. A device with a maximum volume of 90 decibels is even better.
Oil Tank
Before buying the chainsaw, check the oil tank volume. Most models are equipped with an oil tank that holds a maximum of 160 to 200 millimeters. It is practical if the model is equipped with a level indicator. Thanks to it, you can quickly see how much oil is in the tank. Also, make sure that the electric chainsaw enables automatic chain lubrication.
Safety Brakes
It is important that the electric chainsaw is equipped with a chain brake. Thanks to it, the chain comes to a standstill within fractions of a second after you switch off the device. This reduces the risk of accidents. Another safety brake is the kickback brake. If the tip of the sword comes into contact with a solid object, the chainsaw stops immediately with the kickback brake.
Claw Stop
The claw stop reduces the risk of the chainsaw swinging out of control. It enables a firmer hold.
Chain Catch Bolt
If the saw chain breaks, the chain catch bolt can ensure that the saw does not turn over in an uncontrolled manner.
Simple Chain Tensioning
With most models, you can tension and change the chain without tools. This makes setting the chain tension and changing the chain particularly easy.
