Buying guide
Matching the saw to the job
Top-handle saws are light and compact for one-handed control aloft, and are meant only for trained operators working in the tree. Mid-size rear-handle saws are the workhorses for limbing, bucking and smaller removals. Large saws in the 70 cc and up class pull long bars through big trunks and stumps.
A gas pole saw reaches limbs from the ground for clearance pruning. Whatever the saw, check the chain brake, chain catcher and throttle lockout daily and wear full PPE.
Gas saw ownership
Run fresh, properly mixed fuel or premix, keep air filters clean, and sharpen chain often. A saw that is hard to start or bogs under load usually needs a clean filter or fresh fuel before anything else. For deeper issues, take it to a servicing dealer.
Pick bar length to match the work, not the biggest bar the saw will pull. A shorter bar is lighter, easier to control and less prone to kickback. ANSI Z133 sets requirements for chainsaw use in tree work, including starting procedures and PPE; follow it and the owner's manual. Training is the most important accessory any saw can have.
Common questions
What chainsaw do most arborists climb with?
Most climbers use a gas or battery top-handle saw with a short bar. Use top-handle saws only in the tree and only with proper training.
