[Le] terme tronçonneuse, relevé dans quelques revues françaises et québécoises (le plus souvent dans la publicité), ainsi que dans certains documents techniques [...] semble inapproprié, l'outil servant tout autant à abattre et à ébrancher qu'à tronçonner. L'emploi de «tronçonneuse» au lieu de scie à chaîne ne peut que prêter à confusion en forêt, du moins au Canada, où de nombreux engins forestiers ayant pour fonction de tronçonner les arbres sont désignés, depuis déjà plusieurs années par l'appellation tronçonneuse. 2, record 1, French, - scie%20%C3%A0%20cha%C3%AEne
