For safety and comfort, the handle resists vibration, which is thanks to a built-in spring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise, keeping the tool steady while running would take much work. Note that some chainsaws\u2019 handles absorb vibration more than others; it depends on the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Natural_rubber\">rubber<\/a> quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1-18.jpg\" alt=\"Close view of chainsaw handle\" class=\"wp-image-10004\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1-18.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1-18-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1-18-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&nbsp;[Close view of chainsaw handle]<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"hand-guardchain-brakenbsp\">Hand Guard\/Chain Brake <\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The work of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zqDpfqQaTuc\">chain brake<\/a> is to stop the cutting chain from moving out of place. Like the anti-vibration handle, the chain brake also works on a spring. As you change the cutting position, the chain brake secures the chain <a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chainsaw_safety_features\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">to prevent accidents<\/a>. Also, the chain brake doubles as a guard, preventing the running chain from striking your hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-18.jpg\" alt=\"Hand guard attached to a chainsaw\" class=\"wp-image-10005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-18.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-18-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-18-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&nbsp;[Hand guard attached to a chainsaw]<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"clutchsprocket\">Clutch\/Sprocket<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Clutch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">clutch<\/a> and sprocket of a chainsaw work hand in hand, and both parts are for safety. The clutch links the cutting chain and the engine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It disengages or engages the chain as the engine loses or gains power. The clutch squeezes a small round metal component it wraps around to disengage- or stop- the chain. This small component is the sprocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-19.jpg\" alt=\"Worn out chainsaw sprockets\" class=\"wp-image-10006\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-19.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-19-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-19-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">[Worn out chainsaw sprockets]<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"muffler\">Muffler<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Muffler\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">muffler reduces the noise an engine makes \u2013 in the UK; they<\/a> call it a silencer. It\u2019s present in almost every piece of machinery that uses an engine, of which chainsaws belong. Since the chainsaw is not a large tool, it comes with a small muffler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/4-14.jpg\" alt=\"Cutting wood with a chainsaw\" class=\"wp-image-10001\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/4-14.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/4-14-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/4-14-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">[Cutting wood with a chainsaw]<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"spark-arrestor\">Spark Arrestor<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll find the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Spark_arrestor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">spark arrestor<\/a> inside the muffler, but it doesn\u2019t work to stop the noise. Instead, it stops tiny metal pieces that may fly out of the chainsaw. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These tiny metals are sometimes hot and flammable since they come from engines. So, if the spark arrestor doesn\u2019t arrest them, they could cause serious injuries and fire hazards.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"chain-catcher\">Chain Catcher<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The chain catcher is similar to the spark arrestor. But it catches the cutting chain instead of catching tiny metals, should it break loose. If such happens, the chain catcher hooks and stops it from hitting you. It\u2019s a critical safety part of a chainsaw.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"throttle-interlocknbsp\">Throttle Interlock <\/h3>\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s usually a button on top or close to the chainsaw handle, known as the throttle interlock. It prevents the speed of the chainsaw from increasing or decreasing on its own, consequently preventing irregular use and accidents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This part is most important for gas-powered chainsaws since it sends fuel to the engine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"691\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/5-14.jpg\" alt=\"A high definition picture of a chain saw\" class=\"wp-image-10000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/5-14.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/5-14-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/5-14-768x531.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\uff08A high-definition picture of a chainsaw\uff09<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"chain\">Chain<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>It won\u2019t be wrong to say the chain is the most important part of a chainsaw. It is the part that goes around the bar and does the cutting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people refer to the bar and the chain as the chainsaw blade. Chains are of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/semi-chisel-vs-full-chisel.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">different types and sizes<\/a>.

Tanks are different sizes, but most come with 40 to 1 or 50 to 1 mix ratios. Consequently, the size of the fuel tank will determine how many hours a chainsaw can operate at a go.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/8-12.jpg\" alt=\"Closed fuel tank of a chainsaw\" class=\"wp-image-9997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/8-12.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/8-12-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/8-12-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">[Closed fuel tank of a chainsaw]<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pull-cord\">Pull Cord<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Chainsaws come with motors that need pulling to start. So, they also come with a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pullstring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">pull cord<\/a>. The pull cord is a simple, small rope with a sturdy rubber handle.

It\u2019s no different with a chainsaw. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The air filter will trap dust, dirt, and other contaminants. It becomes dirty and clogs with time, so you must clean it occasionally. At one point, you must replace it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/10-7.jpg\" alt=\"White chainsaw air filter\" class=\"wp-image-9995\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/10-7.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/10-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/10-7-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">[White chainsaw air filter]<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"highlow-adjustment-screws\">High\/Low Adjustment Screws<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The high and low adjustment screws adjust the carburetor in a chainsaw. In particular, they adjust a chainsaw&#8217;s minimum and maximum RPM, which controls the tool&#8217;s idling speed. Carefulness is critical when adjusting these parts. It\u2019s best to follow the manufacturer\u2019s instructions in the user manual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/11-3.jpg\" alt=\"Sideview of chainsaw carburetor\" class=\"wp-image-9994\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/11-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/11-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/11-3-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">[Sideview of chainsaw carburetor]<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"summerwinter-shutter\">Summer\/Winter Shutter<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Only a few people use the summer\/winter shutter of their chainsaws. And the majority of the few that do misuse it. However, it\u2019s not a complicated part. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The summer\/winter shutter adjusts the ventilation of the engine depending on the weather. For example, during winter, you would want to shut out much of the cold air from getting into your engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"999\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/12-1.jpg\" alt=\"Repair chain saw\" class=\"wp-image-9993\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/12-1.jpg 999w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/12-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/12-1-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\uff08Repair chain saw\uff09<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"engine\">Engine<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The chainsaw engine is what drives the entire tool. It\u2019s usually a square metal component with lines and stays covered. Most of the other parts of the chainsaw \u2013 the pull plug, spark plug, fuel tank, and muffler \u2013 connect to the engine. The size of the engine will differ for different capacity chainsaws. It\u2019ll also vary if the engine is gas-powered or electric-powered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/13.jpg\" alt=\"Chainsaw engine parts\" class=\"wp-image-9992\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/13.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/13-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/13-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">[Chainsaw engine parts]<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"onoff-switch-choke\">On\/Off Switch + Choke<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Of course, chainsaws come with an on-and-off switch. Before you drag the pull cord to start the engine, the switch must be in the on position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, you kill the engine when you flip the switch to the off position. The switch also works as a choke when you pull it down.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"manual-fuel-pump\">Manual Fuel Pump<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The manual fuel pump in a chainsaw is a tiny bulb, similar to those on a weedeater or lawnmower. Its work is to facilitate starting the engine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The manual fuel pump will draw up a small quantity of fuel when you press it. That way, the fuel gets to the engine faster when you want to start the engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"999\" height=\"665\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/14.jpg\" alt=\"A chainsaw at work\" class=\"wp-image-9991\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/14.jpg 999w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/14-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nccuttingtools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/14-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\uff08A chainsaw at work\uff09<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>At this point, you should know the different parts of a chainsaw and the role each one plays.
