Most people know that chainsaws are powerful tools that can cut through almost anything. However, there are some things that you should not cut with a chainsaw. Cutting these things with a chainsaw can damage the saw, injure you or cause other problems.
Here are some things you should not cut with a chainsaw:
-Trees that are larger in diameter than the saw's bar. This can put too much strain on the saw and cause it to break. It can also kickback which could injure you.
-Metal objects like nails, pipes or wires. These can damage the chain and cause it to break or come off entirely. It can also cause sparks which could start a fire if there is any flammable material nearby.
-Hard objects like concrete, stone or bricks. These can damage the teeth on the chain and cause it to dull quickly. Cutting hard materials also puts additional strain on the motor which could overheat it and cause permanent damage.
