Chainsaw Manual for Homeowners

Description

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 one functions. Step-by-step colour photographs are present throughout.
