Stihl Chainsaws for Professional and Domestic Use
Stihl chainsaws have enjoyed immense popularity among professional arborists and lay consumers for logging and managing trees and woods. The invention of Stihl chainsaws by Andreas Stihl proved a revolutionizing invention for farmers and professional loggers. Now, 80 years later, these chainsaws are no less sought-after on account of their adherence to quality and an ever-steady improvement of performance. Besides their ease of operation and safer designs, Stihl chainsaws are now also known for their environment-friendly operation i.e. minimum levels of undesirable emissions.
Variety of Models
Stihl chainsaws vary impressively in their model designs according to their purpose. There are these light and handy chainsaws driven by gasoline (petrol) for the purpose of property maintenance (garden and landscape), for shaping trees, and for managing wood. More robust chainsaws manufactured by Stihl Company are also powered by gasoline and used for agricultural and landscaping purposes. Special petrol-driven Stihl chainsaws are manufactured for forestry works like thinning and harvesting timber and felling medium density wood. Stihl’s arborist chainsaws are especially produced for use in trees by qualified tree service professionals. Another uniquely designed kind of Stihl chainsaws are the rescue chainsaws, which are meant for use by trained rescue personnel like those working in emergency services. Finally, the comparatively less powerful but quite and easily manageable electric chainsaws of Stihl are ideal for use in building and finishing trades.
Performance Enhancement Features
The success of Stihl chainsaws heavily rests on the updated features of their designs so that they allow greater ease of use and enhanced performance. Some of these enhanced features include the incorporation of more efficient engine and carburetor, easy startup and maintenance, reduced vibration, and durability of the device. Most important perhaps are the safety modifications that reduce the risk of injury during the chainsaw’s operation or in case of an accident. There is, for example, a dual braking system that stops the chain immediately in case of an emergency. The chain catcher and a rear-hand guard are two other safety modifications that minimize the risk of injury during any snag with the chainsaw’s operation.
Stihl Chainsaws for Domestic Purposes
The electricity-powered Stihl chainsaws are comparatively lighter in weight and easier to handle with minimum noise production and vibration. They are now popular for domestic applications like cutting or trimming wood or managing a home-garden. The two most popular models of Stihl chainsaws used for domestic purposes are MSE 140 C Electric and MSE 180 C Electric which are a little over 3 kg in weight and powered by ordinary household voltage of 240 V. Besides household logging and felling, these chainsaws are also ideal for light industry work.
