Sinopsis

Taking the fear out of chainsaws by emphasising safe handling practices, this resource aims to put raw power in the hands of its readers. With step-by-step colour photographs throughout, 12 of the most common household chainsaw operations - such as cutting firewood, taking down small trees, trimming branches, grooming hedges, and making lumber - are tackled with expert advice and sure-handed guidance. With an additional section devoted to chainsaw types, potential buyers can also assess which size and type of chainsaw best meets their needs. Also included is an appendix that has useful technical information and identifies the parts of a chainsaw and how each functions.

Homeowner's Complete Guide to the Chainsaw, thoroughly researched and richly-illustrated, is a joy to read and shows how a chainsaw, used safely and sensibly, can be a pleasure to work with." - David Lee, author of Chainsaws: A HistoryThis is the manual that should have come with your chainsaw.Brian Ruth's been running a chainsaw for so long, he hardly remembers how he learned. But what if you didn't grow up with a chainsaw, or have someone teach you how to use it-what then? That's what this book is all about. The Homeowner's Complete Guide to the Chainsaw is the manual that you wish had been included with your chainsaw; the guidance over your shoulder that explains everything you need to know. It will help you understand how your chainsaw works and what happens when its chain contacts what you're cutting. It will introduce you to safety gear, and how to maintain your saw. It also will work you through various projects and the methods of using the saw to complete those projects. In the end, it will show you how to run your chainsaw effectively and, most important, safely.
