Homeowner’s Complete Guide to the Chainsaw [Paperback]
by authors, Brian J. Ruth and Jen W. Ruth
Book Description
Taking the fear out of chainsaws by emphasising safe handling practices, this resource aims to put raw power in the hands of everyday yardworkers. With step-by-step colour photographs throughout, 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 different parts of a chainsaw and how they function.

Our Opinion
Whether you already own one, or are considering buying a chainsaw, make buying and reading this book an essential part of your chainsaw safety; as essential as safety gear.
A great birthday present for my nephew. Hopefully, there’s an updated edition somewhere.
