Small and lightweight electric saws for women (ideal for summer cottages)

Tree pruning tool - varieties and uses

As we said, there are various manual and automated tools that are ideal for performing shrub shaping and pruning old branches. The problem of choosing such devices is especially acute for beginners who do not understand the difference between a saw and a hacksaw.

Types of devices for working in the garden:

Pruning shears with which you can make smooth cuts quickly and effortlessly
No work in the garden can do without them, and therefore it is very important to choose the right tool. Despite their huge variety, there are only two types of pruners.
The first type is with a curved blade, while the pruner cuts branches like scissors. Here it is important to adjust the pruner so that there is no gap under the blade, otherwise the tool will not cut, but crumple the branches. The second type of device is with a double-sided blade. There is a note here: it is difficult to use for circumcision in hard-to-reach places.
The Lopper is a quality tree pruning machine. With this tool, you can effortlessly cut branches that are impressive in diameter.
A pruning saw is useful where pruning shears are not available. With its help, you can saw off large branches and even whole trunks.

Of course, you can use ordinary carpentry tools, but it is preferable to use a garden saw, since there are special requirements for pruning branches: you must carefully cut down branches, taking care not to damage the bark or leave burrs. Quality pruning saws can cut backward and forward, and the teeth of the tool do not become clogged with sawdust, which makes the work process easier.

It is better to choose a blade with small teeth that do not cause much damage to the branches.
A garden knife, which is used in the case of pruning small branches, cutting the bark, and grafting trees. The advantage of any knife is a high-quality and sharp blade, thanks to which the cuts will be smooth and even. For more precise work, it is best to use an eyepiece knife, thanks to which the bark is very neatly separated from the trunk. When it comes to grafting, you cannot do without a grafting knife, which helps to make even and straight cuts necessary for grafting new cuttings.
Garden shears are most often used for mass pruning, when they form the crown of plants. A classic example is a hedge, requiring all shrubs to be uniform in shape.

General points

The process of harvesting firewood is very laborious, requiring a lot of time and physical strength. To make it easier for yourself to perform many tasks, you should choose wisely equipment for harvesting firewood.

In the old days, sawing logs into logs was carried out using a two-handed saw and took an extremely long time, and there is no need to talk about the amount of effort expended.Nowadays, to simplify the work with wood, chainsaws have been invented, which can be an excellent assistant for you.

Choosing a suitable chainsaw for preparing firewood, you should immediately take care of spare parts for it, and additionally buy a spare chain, a file (chain sharpener), engine oil recommended by the manufacturer, 92 or 95 gasoline for refueling.

To avoid carbon deposits, it is better to use synthetic or semi-synthetic oil, if you are not going to buy a specially designed composition from the manufacturer of the chainsaw. It should be said here that on engines with low revs, the use of synthetics is unreasonable, since the oil simply will not burn, and will fly into the exhaust pipe.

Separately, I would like to tell you about the file with which the chain is sharpened. This option is most preferable to a grinding machine, since it removes a larger amount of metal, which means that the chain wear is faster. If you send the chain to the workshop for sharpening, then there may well be to sharpen it at the wrong angle. Therefore, it is better to sharpen yourself. After the chain breaks down, you should replace it with a new one purchased from an authorized dealer.

The choice of a chainsaw is based on the number of jobs. If you take an apparatus for a summer residence, then you can take a closer look at the technique of the lower models from Husqvarna or Calm. For logging, in particular tree felling, more powerful options should be considered. At the same time, it should be understood that more power implies more weight, which in the future you will certainly feel when cutting small pieces.

Electric saw classification

Like most other tools, electric chain saws fall into two categories: household and professional. Sometimes, in advertising, you may hear about semi-professional products, but in fact, these are household appliances with improved characteristics.

The main difference between professional and household power saws is the ability to use them in intensive mode, for a long time.

Professional tools are designed to work for a long time without overheating, loss of power and the threat of serious breakdowns. It is clear that such a chain saw is very expensive.

Household electric saws are designed to perform work of small to medium difficulty. They require frequent breaks due to the threat of engine overheating or failure of other moving parts and assemblies. Some manufacturers even specifically stipulate the operating mode of such tools, for example: 10 minutes of operation, 10 minutes of rest.

Garden saws

Garden saw Important: For pruning dry branches only.

Bow saws

A tool for continuous work with thick live branches. Such a saw is called an onion saw, since it looks like a bow and it also has a bowstring.Bow saw for pruning
The construction is lightweight but strong thanks to a tubular frame with a diameter of about 25 mm, coated with an anti-corrosion compound. Bow saws with rotating and replaceable blades are especially popular with summer residents.

Garden hacksaws

The garden hacksaw has one handle and an obligatory stop-tooth located at the end of the blade. The cutting element, in turn, can be either straight or curved (like a sickle). Garden hacksaw
Inclined teeth

It is very important that they are 5-7 mm high, wide apart and sharpened for sawing in both directions (towards and away from you).

How to choose the right power tool for women

First, you need to decide how often you plan to use the electric saw. A workload of more than 6 hours a day makes it necessary to purchase a professional electric tool. Difference: power more than 2200 W, tire length from 40 cm, expensive parts with increased wear resistance. The weight of the saw varies from 5 kg.

To implement small household chores that are not performed every day, it is better to purchase a household power saw.

Important!

According to the sanitary standards of Russia, women are allowed to lift a load within 5 kg. In this case, the maximum parameters depend on the age, complexion, state of health of the lady. For nulliparous, the allowable rates are halved, but should not exceed 10% of body weight. Pregnant women are advised not to move objects heavier than 1.25 kg.

the tool is located in the hands conveniently and comfortably;
the level of vibration and noise is acceptable;
the weight of the structure does not overstrain the muscles.

An electric saw with a capacity of 1500–2000 W, a bar length of 30–35 cm, and a construction weight of 2.5–4 kg are optimal for performing household work by a woman.

Features of Small and Lightweight Electric Chain Saw for Women

When choosing a power tool suitable for women, you should pay attention to the following nuances:

increased power leads to an increase in the weight of the unit, and for some models a more powerful electrical network is required;
it is worth giving preference to models with a longitudinal arrangement of the engine, since the balance of the apparatus is shifted in the transverse one. This saw is used to work in a vertical plane;
it is desirable to have a blocking from the involuntary activation of the structure in order to avoid increased injury;
the function of smooth start of the electric saw ensures that the device turns on without a jerk;
spontaneous shutdown of the tool in case of overheating provides a thermal relay;
automatic oil supply to the device significantly extends its service life;
automatic tensioning of the chain makes the maintenance of the device more comfortable;
the presence of rubber pads on the handles of the tool reduces the vibration load on the human body.

One of the disadvantages of an electric saw is an inconvenient cable connecting the structure with a current source. The way out is to purchase a saw with a battery that allows you to use the tool away from electricity.

The development of the Monferme 20237M is presented as an electric saw for women. The weight of the structure is 5.2 kg, and the 40 volt lithium battery charge allows the saw to be used as intended for 40 minutes. During this time, bars with a section of 10x10 cm can be sawed 130 times.

Light chain saw

When choosing a lightweight and convenient power tool for working at home, it is recommended to consider:

the presence of service centers of a particular brand within reach. In the event of a breakdown of the mechanism, it is necessary to provide professional repair;
if spare parts are made of short-lived material, you should first find out where they can be purchased;
a product from an unknown manufacturer is practically beyond repair in the event of a breakdown.

Branded products are distinguished by high cost, but also good quality, long warranty period. The most famous models of electric saws for women:

Bosch AKE 30 S (developer Germany, produced in Hungary);
Sturm CC9916 (developer Germany, made in China);
Union PCS-9922 (China);
Monferme 20237M-1 (France);
MAKITA UC4030A (Japan).

Nowadays, in any power tool store, you can see a wide selection of chain saws, but not every one of them will suit you. What, for example, should be guided by when choosing a light electric saw for a country house? A light chain electric saw consists of an electric motor, a housing, a bus with a chain installed on it, a pump and a container containing oil. Modern electric saws are equipped with a chain tensioning lever. The motor drives a chain through an electric drive, which cuts wood. To avoid seizing, the width of the chain links should be slightly wider than the width of the bar.The choice of the manufacturer determines the reliability of the electric saw. The most famous companies are: Makita, Bosch, Patriot, Hammer, Interskol, etc.

Choosing a saw tool

When choosing a power tool, users are faced with the fact that with the same parameters declared by manufacturers, the price of products is strikingly different. This is primarily due to the name of the company that produces the tool. Firms with a well-known name are trying to improve their products, use high-quality parts and strictly observe safety when using the saw, which invariably affects the final cost.

When faced with the decision of which electric chain saw to choose, they often pay attention only to the country of manufacture, but this is fundamentally wrong. It is much more important to choose not by the country of the manufacturer, but by the name of the brand and model

Since many companies occupying the first places in the ranking of electric chain saws are moving their production facilities to third countries to reduce the cost of the tool produced. At the same time, compliance with the technological process and control at each stage of the assembly remain at a high level.

It should also be borne in mind that even popular companies may have unsuccessful chainsaw models. Therefore, before buying a tool, it will be right not only to study reviews of rating publications for a particular model, but also to read reviews on the selected unit.
