This Bachelor’s Thesis documents the process and result of an examining product development project for the Innovation and design programme at Karlstad’s University. A concept for a maintenance tool designed for a manual chainsaw has been developed. By applying the phases applied for the product design process described by Johannsson (2013), and by utilizing the knowledge from a comprehensive pre-study, a first concept was established. With a reiterative design process this concept has been developed and made into a first prototype that have been tested, evaluated and adjusted accordingly. The construction as described in chapter 2.6- Detail construction is a handheld tool with file gauges specially designed for the manual chainsaw. By using a groove for the chain at the top of the tool, it can be fixed and sharpened without any additional equipment. A prototype was made by virtual prototyping and constructed by 3D-printing. Project should proceed by implementing the changes in the prototype that was observed during testing and then evaluate that result before a manufacturing adoption.
