I know chainsaws are often separated between "Professional" and "homeowner" models. I have a homeowner, an electric Remington I bought at Menards for $100. It works great to cut logs in my garage.
My question, is that of course its not of the quality of a Stihl or the other professional models, but I want to know "how"? What can I expect to go badly? Is the chain going to slip off the bar? Is something dangerous gonna happen when I'm on my 200th log? Will the bar crack, or the electric cord start on fire?
What can I expect with a "homeowners" model if I use it extensively. My neighbor has a huge locust tree he wants felled (professionally) and will give me the wood. I might be able to cut 200-300 logs to stock up and season for the next couple years.
