With respect. you don't even want to consider using a chainsaw if you don't know how to do the basics such and removing and replacing the bar/chain safely and correctly. You need to be shown and trained one to one on how to do this. Safety is paramount with chainsaws, and not ideally suited to weekend warriors.
