Welcome to the site and it is spelt chainsaw and johnsered.

 

[sedanman]

Actually it's J O N S E R E D (s) The "s" used to be on the name tag but disappeared in modern times.

 

[SawTroll]

Yes, I think the "s" disappeared about in 1980, shortly after E-lux entered the picture.

The first Jonsereds saw appeared in 1954, and was the XA.
It was one of the few chainsaws designed to run on Diesel fuel, and a development of the Norwegian designed "Comet".

Here i more info on the story of the Diesel Chain Saws

It's "every" and this - . - is a period.

Everyone is usually one word. In the tense used, spelled is the appropriate conjugation. Spelt is past tense: Before 1980, Jonsered was spelt Jonsereds.

Goat Farmer, welcome to the site. Don't worry about us teacher wannabes, we're just having some fun.

That was not a spelling issue, but a deliberate change in the company name.
Don't ask me why, but the timing indicates that it was a result of the E-lux takeover of Jonsereds.
