gas chainsaw

Petrol timber saw

A gas chainsaw is a chainsaw powered by a gasoline engine rather than electricity or battery.

The term distinguishes it from electric and cordless models: Gas chainsaws have more power but require more maintenance.

They're preferred for heavy-duty work like felling large trees, where sustained power and portability matter more than noise or emissions.
