I was wondering if an electric chainsaw would be safer to use for doing work in trees?
*So far as kickback is concerned only* (I'm well aware of the other dangers.)
It seems to me electrics are quite slow as compared with a gas powered chainsaw.
For some reason I would feel safer cutting a branch at eye level with an electric chainsaw, but would be worried using my 18" gas powered chainsaw, and scared to death using my 32" 460.
Are they all just as dangerous?
Or if trimming the tree in the yard on the weekend, safer to use an electric?
