How to use a chainsaw as a woman
It seems that the chainsaw and the woman will not find a common language. But in fact, they can interact quite well if certain rules are followed.

Where to begin
If there is a man nearby, then the easiest way is to ask him what and how to do. You should also carefully read the instructions and choose the simplest saw, without any frills.
Before starting work, you must fill the tank with gasoline and oil in a ratio of 1 to 40 (approximately 25 grams per 1 liter). You should also add oil to the chain lubrication tank. After this, you need to wait a little and you can start working.
How to start a chainsaw
To activate the device, you must perform a number of actions:
- press the “start” button (usually it is red);
- pull out the air damper halfway (it is located in the front, plastic);
- feed gasoline into the carburetor - to do this, press the soft nylon bottle (usually located on the left) 8 times;
- pull the cord until it starts;
- wait 2 minutes for the engine to warm up;
- Pull out the air damper completely.
It is important to wear safety glasses! The chainsaw should only be held with two hands. You can't cut with the tip itself.
Periodically you need to check how tension the chain is. If it overheats or sags, you should turn off the saw. It is allowed to resume work only after it has cooled down.
To deactivate, you need to press the “stop” button (usually the same as the “start”).
Important nuances
Oil added to gasoline is 2T - for two-stroke engines. Any type of lubricant can be used to lubricate the chain.
The board or log cannot be sawed on the ground or floor. If the object is long, one end of it needs to be raised by placing something under it. The part you will be processing should hang. It’s great if the board can be placed on sawhorses. If it is short, it is better to cut through 3/4 of it. Then you need to turn it over and finish the remaining 1/4 on the other side.
To fell a tree, you must make a cut on the side where it will land. It should look like a wedge. And then you have to file on the other side.
What should a saw be like for women?
Be sure to purchase the lightest device. It should also be compact. And it’s good if the model starts up quickly and is easy to maintain.
It is worth understanding that lightweight devices will take longer to cut, but there is nothing to worry about. A fully charged model can weigh about 5 kg, and any woman can easily handle such a weight.
Some chainsaws are so compact that you can cut with one hand. But it’s better to take the two-handed version. Compact models cost almost half as much.
If you want to use a saw with easier starting, it is better to consider devices with ErgoStar gadgets. Then the starter will not need to be pulled. All you have to do is erect the spring, and it will pull itself.
Every woman can handle a chainsaw if she knows what to do. There is no need to be nervous and rush, and then everything will work out.
