Yes there is a left handed chainsaw. According to elf and safety a left handed person cannot use a normal saw. It to do with where you are working in regards to the chain. A left handed person using a right handed saw would be working over the chain. Think how you use a saw then swap hands

I have seen, once, an actual left handed saw in a forestry museum in Canada (all I can remember was it was proper old and was yellow and don't know if it was a standard factory item or not) but other than that I've never seen one any different to normal. Seen a few people use them wrong handed though and it looks weird.

 

Ocaisonally felling bigger stuff though I've swapped hands on the back cut if it meant I could get into a more comfortable position.

 

Just wondered if I was missing something obvious with this one?
