This project goes into the examination of the Oregon Tool Chainsaw performance, user safety, and the use of modern technology to enhance user experience. Most modern power tools and equipment have adapted to current advancement of modern technology by adding key features that protect the user and keep the tool in ideal condition. While several power tools have undergone a process of evolutionary advancement over the years, chainsaws have predominantly remained unaltered in their fundamental design and functionality. According to the Center for Disease Control, approximately 36,000 go to the emergency room for a chainsaw-related injury every year.[1] This statistic leads to the need for greater safety and performance. Low innovation within the development of modern chainsaws allows these issues to continue being unfavorable among consumers

Project Details

Problem Statement

We aim to enhance chainsaw safety by improving performance and maintenance, addressing the stagnation in their design. While other power tools have evolved with technology, chainsaws lag behind, leading to a higher risk of accidents.
