"Faster cutting, narrow Kerf Diamond Chain"
ho capito cosa si intende ma non so se esiste un corrispondente termine tecnico in italiano. Per adesso ho tradotto "larghezza di taglio ridotta"

solco di taglio
Definition: the narrow slot cut by a saw advancing through wood. This is the basic and most common definition.

Also, when you chop down a tree the cut is called a kerf but this defintion is not used very much. However, in either case, the underlying meaning is: the narrow (thin) area where the wood is cut, whether by an ax or a saw HTH.

For your example sentence above, \"narrow kerf\" means that the chainsaw makes a thin, exact cut and doesn\'t waste much wood. Some chainsaws have a narrow (thin) kerf, some are thicker and some are very thick. Hope this helps.
