STIHL Chainsaws Buying Guide
If you've been looking at different chainsaws, chances are pretty good you've come across brand names like Craftsman, Husqvarna, and STIHL. All good chains saws, and all aiming for different consumers. The Husqvarna line definitely targets the bigger industrial sized jobs, but they do also produce machines that work well for the average home owner / casual chainsaw user.
The Craftsman chainsaws (sometimes manufactured by Poulan), are more for the casual user, or maybe as a backup saw. They also make a good alternative to lugging around a big saw, if you don't want to drag your hefty STIHL or Husky off to the job site. Homelite also makes smaller chainsaws, that would be good for cutting firewood, and taking down smaller trees. Other manufacturers to consider are Jonsered, and Echo. Their not nearly as well known, but do fill a niche.
Husqvarna, and STIHL, do own the majority of the market however, with an estimated eighty percent of the market share. Husqvarna holds a slight lead over second place STIHL. If your in the business of farming, growing, or chopping down trees, than chances your going to go for the Swedish designed and built STIHL, or the German manufactured STIHL.
STIHL has been producing chainsaws for about 70 or so years, and both their 250CBE and 180 models are amongst the most popular. THE 250CBE is more for heavy duty power users, where as the 180 is lighter, but provides great value for the money. The nice thing about STIHL saws, is they won't wear you down and beat you up. You'll be able to use them for longer stretches, and get more work down.

Basic Chainsaw Maintenance
There are not too many outdoor tools more versatile than the chainsaw. From cutting firewood to solid trees;from a delicate to a heavy duty job or whether you use a Stihl, Husqvarna, Echo or Jonsered machine, the trusty chainsaw will perform the job admirably.
Don't be fooled by it's apparent power and effectiveness though. Truth be known, a chainsaw is like a finely tuned athlete;it needs proper but basic maintenance and in return, it will provide you with years of winning performance.
One of the most common areas inexperienced and semi professionals tend to overlook is the chain oiling system. Most chainsaws have either an automatic or manual oiling system and performing regular checks will save you plenty in the long run.
Testing the oiling system is simple and quite straightforward. To perform a check;make sure the oil reservoir is full, hold the saw about 3 inches above a piece of paper(preferably white) and revv the saw a few times. By depressing the oil lever while the saw is revving, you should notice a light oil mist spraying onto the paper. If not, then you may have problems.
There are several steps you can take to locate the source of the problem. For instance, dust may have built up in the oil outlets. Your manual should highlight exactly where those oil outlets are located. They'll require careful cleaning.
Likewise, removing the chain and checking the guide bar for cleanliness is also recommended. Without regular checking of the oil outlets dust and oil build up can "cake" leading to performance restriction.
After performing and correcting these problems and you are still experiencing difficulties, then it's time to consider having your chainsaw looked at by an expert.
As stated earlier, chainsaws require basic maintenance but if performed, you'll get years of regular use and service from them.

Stihl - Best Chainsaw Manufacturer
A chainsaw is a movable, mechanical and motorized saw. It is used in logging activities like felling, limbing, and bucking. Chainsaws started around the 1830's. Bernard Heine, a German orthopedist, was the known inventor of chainsaw.
Chainsaw is classified as a power tool. It is a dangerous machine if mishandled. Users must be fully knowledgeable of the machine before trying to use it. Know the parts and functions of each for your safety.A chainsaw has the following parts:
o Chain catcher - this is a plastic or metal guard used to prevent a broken or derailed saw chain from hitting the operator.
o Fly Wheel - a weighted wheel which controls the engine speed and assists in cooling the engine.
o Clutch - it is the connector that controls the driving part of a saw
o Decompression valve - this allows easier starting by releasing saw compression
o Anti-vibration handle system - this relieves stress to the operator's hand, arms and joints.
o Hand Guard -plastic shield that protects the hands from kickback.
o Muffler - reduces engine noise.
o Chain brake - stops the chain when kickback happens to prevent injury.
o Throttle - regulates RPMs by increasing or decreasing the volume of fuel to the cylinders.
