Andreas Stihl designed and hand built his first chainsaw in 1926. [5] The saw was electrically powered, and weighed about 48 kg (106 lb).

Andreas Stihl (10 November 1896 – 14 January 1973) was a Swiss-born German engineer and important inventor in the area of chainsaws, and the founder of Andreas Stihl AG & Company KG. [1] He is often hailed as the "Father of the chainsaw".
Corded chainsaws became available for sale to the public from the 1960s onwards, [19] but these were never as successful commercially as the older gas-powered type due to limited range, dependency upon the presence of an electrical socket, plus the health and safety risk of the blade's proximity to the cable.
