About chain saw 106cc

Types of 106cc chainsaws

The 106cc chainsaw is a large chainsaw designed for heavy-duty cutting. It has a large displacement, which means it will sometimes have more power than smaller chainsaws.

Buyers may see chainsaws called 106cc by the engine displacement measurement or 10.6cc by milliliters. The saw's class depends on various factors, like how much cutting power it provides.

  • Gas chainsaws

    A gas chainsaw uses fuel and an internal combustion engine. It provides the mobility and cutting power of corded using chainsaws with no electrical outlet. For this reason, gas chainsaws are often preferred for commercial and industrial use.

  • Corded electric chainsaws

    The corded electric chainsaw is plugged into an outlet. With the electric motor, it is less powerful than a gas chainsaw, but it is easier to use and lighter on the user.

  • Battery-powered chainsaws

    A battery-powered chainsaw, or cordless electric chainsaw, is convenient because it doesn't need to be plugged in. It uses rechargeable batteries instead of an electric motor, making them more portable. However, battery packs can limit cutting power and run time compared to gas and corded electric chainsaws.

  • Top-handle chainsaws

    Top handle chainsaws are designed for working above ground, like tree trimming, where an arborist needs one-handed control of the saw while using the other hand to hold the branch or some other support. The trigger is on the top of the rear handle and easy to operate with one hand.

  • Pole chainsaws

    Chainsaw poles are long-reach saws, either gas- or battery-powered, that allow cutting tree branches from the ground without ladders. They have a lightweight motor on one end of a telescopic pole with the cutting chain and bar at the other end.

Industrial applications of a 106cc chainsaw

  • Land clearing

    Chainsaws are helpful for clearing land for construction and agriculture. They rapidly remove large trees and brush from a site. A 106cc chainsaw's extra power enables it to cut large diameter hardwoods swiftly to prepare areas for building, farming, or other projects.

  • Logging and forestry

    In the logging industry, chainsaws are used to fell trees that are then cut into lumber. Chainsaws make it possible to harvest timber by cutting the trunks into manageable logs. The power of a 106cc chainsaw is beneficial for loggers working with large, tough forest trees.

  • Emergency response

    Chainsaws are also used during emergency responses, such as clearing debris off roads or rescuing trapped people from collapsed structures after natural disasters like hurricanes, wildfires, or earthquakes. A 106cc chainsaw's increased power helps emergency workers cut through thick, heavy, entangled materials more easily when time is critical.

  • Trail and road maintenance

    Chainsaws are commonly employed to maintain trails and forest roads. In parks and national forests, saws are used to remove fallen trees that block paths or roadways. The extra power of a 106cc chainsaw is advantageous for trail crews working to clear large, difficult-sized chunks of wood.

  • Sculpture and Specialty Cutting

    In chainsaw art, professionals use chainsaws to create large, detailed wooden sculptures from massive logs. The additional power of a 106cc chainsaw allows carvers to execute specialty results, like making precise cuts and smoothly shaping tough, thick pieces of timber. This saw is perfect for artists and making commercial-cutting custom orders.

Shipping considerations for a 106cc chainsaw

  • Shipping method

    Buyers should consider shipping methods and choose one that balances speed, cost, and security. For time-sensitive orders, air freight provides quick delivery, although at a higher price. Sea freight is slower but usually much cheaper for large shipments, such as multiple chainsaws. However, the transit time can be weeks depending on the destination.

  • Shipping costs

    Shipping costs are a key factor in overall budgets, as they can add up when ordering multiple 106cc chainsaw units. The weight and volume of the saws directly impact freight expenses, so optimizing packaging sizes and arranging them in efficiently-stacked containers for transport is essential to minimize costs.

  • Custom and import restrictions

    Chainsaws may face customs inspections or special import permits in many countries. Buyers should research the specific regulations that apply based on the type of the saws to ensure smooth clearance. Preparing paperwork, like invoices and certificates of origin is required for policies they have to follow.

  • Packaging and durability

    A well-packaged 106cc chainsaw is important to protect it from damage during shipment and is key to its arriving functional. The bar and chain are sensitive parts that inappropriately packed can bend, break, or become dull. Commercially, strong, sturdy boxes with internal cushioning like foam, bubble wrap, or cardboard reinforcements should be used around the unit to buffer the saw from shocks and impacts during transit.

  • Delivery time

    Delivery timelines for shipment are factors to consider when planning orders. Freight mode choices affect delivery times; air provides relatively fast delivery, while sea freight is more time-consuming but usually less expensive. There can also be delays with customs clearance. It is best to manage delivery appropriately and have demand met, or supply issues do not occur.

Factors to consider when choosing a 106cc chainsaw

  • Bar length

    The bar length relates to the chainsaw's cutting capability. A longer bar allows cutting thicker trunks, while a shorter bar provides more maneuverability and easier handling. Select a bar length that matches the typical cutting requirements of the projects to be taken on.

  • Engine power and performance

    Other parts of gas chainsaws, like the engine, should be evaluated for their power and performance. 106cc chainsaws provide industry-level commercial users with large cutting requirements and enhanced engine displacement for strong torque and power. Chainsaw tasks like felling timber require more demanding chainsaw engines.

  • Comfortable operation

    Comfortable operation during extended use was considered an important safety feature. Chainsaws with anti-vibration design lessen the shaking and jarring felt by the operator's hands, reducing fatigue. Easy-to-access controls, like the throttle lock and on-off switch, improve handling. Selecting a chainsaw with a comfortable grip and lightweight construction further ensures less physical strain or wear on the body.

  • Easy maintenance

    Great care is required for maintenance in commercial or professional use. Chainsaws were picked out that had low systematic specialization, such as easy access to the air filter, fuel tank, and chain lubrication, and that the chain and bar could be taken off and put on without extra fuss for the minimum time to be spent keeping the saw ready for maximum utilization. Automatic chain lubrication assists in providing solid lubrication.

  • Safety features

    Chainsaw safety features are important for preventing accidents. Check for the presence of things like chain brakes that diminish stopping distance, hand guards that protect from kickback, and low and anti-vibration handles and padding that reduce the danger of cuts. Easy-to-access safety switches and other chainsaw safety features lessen operating risks.

Q and A

Q1: What maintenance is required for a 106cc chainsaw?

A1: Regular maintenance involved includes oiling the chain and bar after each use, checking and replacing air and spark plugs as needed, sharpening the chain frequently, and cleaning or replacing the fuel filter. The chain brake should also be inspected occasionally.

Q2: Which industries commonly use a 106cc chainsaw?

A2: Commonly found chainsaws in industries such as commercial forestry and logging, tree service and landscaping, agriculture on farms, firewood production, lumber mills, and by contractors in construction working with timber.

Q3: What are common accessories for a 106cc chainsaw?

A3: Common accessories include extra bars and chains for the saw, chain sharpeners, carrying cases, protective equipment like helmets, chaps, and gloves, and pruning attachments or milling guides for specialty cutting.

Q4: What are the safety features of a 106cc chainsaw?

A4: Key safety features include chain brakes that stop the chain instantly, hand guards to protect from kickback, low kickback chains that minimize kickback force, anti-vibration technology, and easy-to-access power switches, enhancing operation safety and reducing accident risks.
