Did you know? STIHL is the only chainsaw manufacturer in the world that also makes its own saw chains and guide bars. This guarantees that these three components always work perfectly together.

Petrol chainsaws are impressive tools. Efficient and useful in trained hands while dangerous and unforgiving in the wrong hands. Here are some facts you may or may not know about chainsaws.

The average chainsaw has a chain blade that spins at between 55-60mph. This will cover roughly 5000 feet a minute. When in use for a full day, the chain bar sprocket will rotate up to a million times. Make sure you have plenty of chain lube and, just as you wouldn’t want to be in a car crash at that speed, you also wouldn’t want to have a chainsaw accidentally strike any part of you with the chain rotating at full speed.

The piston in a chainsaw engine can travel up and down the cylinder up to an enormous 20000 times a minute. It is therefore crucial for top engine performance to ensure that pre-mixed petrol chainsaws have the correct fuel mix of petrol and oil.

An average of 40000 people in the U.S alone are injured or killed each year, making petrol chainsaws without a doubt the most dangerous tool you can operate. Injuries can occur to any part of the body, although the majority are to the legs.

In 1927, Emil Lerp, designed the first petrol chainsaw. Weighing more than 100 pounds, it required several men to operate the machine. It wasn’t until 1929 that the first mass produced chainsaws became available. In 1946, chainsaw chains took on the form with which we are familiar with today and contrary to popular belief, chainsaw chains don’t actually “saw” through wood, they act more like an excavator shaving small quantities of wood off with each pass.
