You have probably heard this before but, if you find manual sawing
difficult, you do not have the strength to use a chainsaw safely.


With all due respect: rubbish! Using a bowsaw utilises different
muscles for a start.


Sigh. Even if you didn't need the same muscles to control a chainsaw
SAFELY, it is EXTREMELY rare to have a few arm muscles very weak and
the rest quite strong. What I said is correct, unfortunately :-(

But the main point is _time_ (as well as muscle power): ...


That is a completely separate matter.



.....and the maxim should be "let the saw do the work" - bow saw that is.
