Chainsaw advice please

[Pistom]

I'm looking to buy a chainsaw for cutting up felled tree trunks into manageable chunks.

I like the convenience of a mains 240v as it saves the maintenance and probably cost of a petrol powered one.

Can anyone recommend any specific models please?

Take a safety course before you buy and use one.

I did one many years ago in North Wales.

It was all common sense really it's just then common sense isn't so common.

They were usin ho end pro stuff. All petrols.

a lot of the maintenance is in the chain itself to be honest and that's the same electric or not, plus when you use it again say halfway up a tree you'll wish you had no wire

A good point but I have a shoulder injury which makes using a pull start on a petrol a little difficult.

The trees I'd be cutting are already felled so no danger of me being up a tree with one.

We had a tree feller out the other year felling an 80 foot tree in our garden by dismantling and he was climbing about with his cordless chain saw. It was great watching him work. Really skilled.
