Here is the chainsaw we use most of the time. One Hunqvarna Chainsaw and the other one is a STIHL chainsaw. The on that is involved in the chainsaw injury or chainsaw accident is the STIHL MS362. It's a professionnal chainsaw with 60HP engine. Two powerful and heavy chainsaws.

HUSQVARNA 455 Rancher I use!

This is the chainsaw involved in the near fatal injury. It's a STIHL Chainsaw. This saw is literally a beast.

  1. Hey dude, the Stihl MS362 does NOT have 60HP(horsepower). You would need something like a 500cc motocross engine to make that much power. No commercially available chainsaw has ever had 60HP. The most powerful available today has less than 10HP. The Stihl you mention is rated at 4.6HP. It does have an almost 60cc (59cc actually) motor displacement.
