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

exhausting!!

An electric chainsaw is lighter than petrol and a lot less trouble.
You can get quite a small one.
However it needs maintenance every few hours,chain sharpened and
retensioned etc & you really need some training/advice/demonstration.

They are a deadly bit of kit, so easy to have a serious accident.

......and as you say, one needs to be taught how to sharpen the chain teeth
properly.
