Can anyone recommend a small chainsaw for light work. Not to cut tree

exhausting!!

You have probably heard this before but, if you find manual sawing
difficult, you do not have the strength to use a chainsaw safely.
Admittedly, using one for straight, simple lengths on a sawhorse
is by FAR the safest way of using one. I probably still have the
strength to do that (just), but have no difficulty using a bowsaw.

How big is your bowsaw, and how new the blade?
