Frequently Asked Questions
Looking for the right petrol chainsaw? Here are answers to some of the most common questions.
Why choose a petrol chainsaw over a battery chainsaw?
Petrol chainsaws provide greater power, longer runtime and are better suited to larger properties, heavy firewood cutting, tree felling and commercial work. They can operate continuously with quick refuelling, making them ideal for demanding tasks.
What size petrol chainsaw do I need?
The right chainsaw depends on the size of timber you'll be cutting. Smaller models are ideal for pruning and firewood, while larger professional saws are designed for felling trees and heavy-duty forestry work.
Do petrol chainsaws require mixed fuel?
Most petrol chainsaws use a two-stroke engine and require a quality petrol and two-stroke oil mix. Always follow the manufacturer's recommended fuel ratio to ensure reliable performance and engine longevity.
How often should I sharpen my chainsaw chain?
A sharp chain cuts faster, more safely and reduces strain on the engine. Sharpen the chain whenever cutting performance decreases or the saw begins producing fine sawdust instead of wood chips.
Do petrol chainsaws still need bar and chain oil?
Yes. All chainsaws require bar and chain oil to lubricate the guide bar and chain during operation, helping reduce wear and maintain cutting performance.
Can I use a petrol chainsaw professionally?
Absolutely. Petrol chainsaws remain the preferred choice for many arborists, forestry contractors and commercial users due to their outstanding power, durability and extended runtime.
Do you stock replacement chains, bars and spare parts?
Yes. We stock a wide range of genuine chainsaw chains, guide bars, oils, spare parts and accessories to keep your chainsaw performing at its best.
Can your team help me choose the right petrol chainsaw?
Absolutely. Our experienced team can recommend the right petrol chainsaw based on your property size, timber type, frequency of use and budget.
