Most chainsaws use a cord to start because it's the most space efficient way. Simple as that. Electric chainsaws start and stop with a button press.
Okay so I guess I'm just going to comment on the actual practicality of the chainsaw itself.
That's a fucking huge chainsaw. I'm going to assume that beneath that shell thing, there is a fairly basic chainsaw made of a power unit consisting of an engine and drive mechanism, and the business end unit consisting of a bladed chain and guide bar. From this, one can procure some rather mundane facts:
a) The chain and guide bar are fucking long
b) The engine is more powerful than that of a standard forestry chainsaw (anywhere from ~4 to ~6.5 kW [70 to 120 cm^3 displacement])
Being that it is shaped like a sword, I'm going to guess that it's probably made to cut into human flesh. That said, it would most likely still have enough power to cut through both primitive and sophisticated forms of armour, ranging from leather to kevlar. Also, bones. Such power deliver is certainly within the realm of practicality so that's okay.
Interestingly, the artist opted to use blades more like those of a standard circular saw, as opposed the chainsaw blade system (which relies on chipping away at wood at an extremely fast rate) or even a concrete saw blade system (which relies on tough high-speed grinding). Probably a good choice, as the chainsaw system is very specifically developed for cutting wood, and the concrete saw system is designed for cutting... well, concrete. This grants the system more versatility against tough materials.
The biggest single issue with the system is actually fairly simple: that fucking shell. With that shell protruding so rudely out to the sides, the blades can only go as deep as their extrusion out of the shell. That's shallow, man!
Also, the sword is gonna be heavy as shit. A bigass chainsaw is like 10 kg, so this thing will definitely be heavier than that. That's a huge weight to have to swing around. Oh, and stabbing? Forget about that shit man what the fuck.
Blade damage would be a huge problem too, I guess.
In conclusion, she should stop being a showoff and just use a gun. Maybe the gun shoots tiny chainsaws? I don't know.
