A great reference book
If you have chainsaw, or saws, in need of repair; this book delivers the tech specs that others do not. It's not for the casual do it yourselfer however, you need to have some kind of repair knowledge to make sense out of this one. But even for the casual fixer-upper, it deleivers a wealth of knowledge.
It does a very good job of giving the technician little gems about the specific manner a machine is put together and how to take it apart. It's particularly great for older saws- but bear in mind it considers my '86 Homelite an 'antique'.
If you got a chainsaw and usually fix it yourself, this one's for you. The book covers 28 different chainsaw manufacturers and countless model#'s. Filled with exploded views of internal components and chasis attatchements, it's got just about everything a techniclly inclined individual could want.

Comprehensive
Not necessarily the ideal book for a beginner. But if you have an old chainsaw you picked up at a garage sale (as I did), and know some basics about small engines (what a spark plug is, etc.), this is exactly what you need. Provides specs, tuneup instructions, and other maintenance/repair items. Good basic chainsaw information is provided, as well. But the real value is on the details about the various models.

Fantastic Book
This book is ideal for a person with mechanical knowledge.
It contains chain saws of many make and models. Even some
I never heard of. However most equipment you buy now days
do not give any adjustment of any kind to keep your machine
running great. Once you get this book, find the model that
matches yours. Read the information on it. It well explains
adjustments as well as the break down and parts.
This is not for just a novist. You do need to understand
the workings of mechanics. That said, it is a fantastic book.
