Select petrol chainsaw

choosing a tool upper price segment of the market, we can well afford lightly abandon brand names, focusing on the features and benefits of specific models.

To begin to decide for what purpose needed drink.Very important is the amount of work to be operated.If you need a saw for use in the household and to use it you will not often than once a week (for example, for firewood for the bath or pruning in the garden), then you should choose among small saws.If you saw a similar exploit frequently and intensively, the result could be spoiled impression about the manufacturer, although, in fact, just the wrong choice was made by the saw model.Source of drinking is limited and they are not designed to carry large volumes of work.

Choosing saw necessarily hold it in their hands.Do not make a purchase based solely on advertising and manufacturer of standard product specifications.Maybe you know the expression "self lies at hand."When choosing a blade, it could not be more helpful.At the same characteristics of the ergonomics of power each blade models may be different.Yes, and people differ in their anatomy.Therefore, it is necessary to choose the right chain saw such that you will be comfortable to use, paying attention to the position and shape of the control levers.

very important part of the chainsaw handle is inertia chain brake.With inertia brakes work even at high speeds chainsaw can be stopped almost instantly, which helps prevent injury to the operator in case of any emergency.All chainsaws, regardless of the model and manufacturer of inertial brake lever is located in one place - in front of the front handle, but the shape and size of the lever, the force with which the brake is applied - different.So you should choose a chain saw that will fit your anatomy.After all, how properly selected and configured tool depends not only on the quality and speed of work, but also your safety.

Let us assume that we have chosen several models of saws, which not only meet all of our technical requirements, but also convenient for work and have high quality manufacturing - STIHL MS180S, ZENOAH GZ400 and JONSERED CS 2137.

All of these saws have such a huge advantage as lightweight .Take any of them in your hands and lift the front handle.You will feel how the saw is well balanced.When working with a chainsaw, you'll be less tired, due to its proper distribution of weight.Lead exhaust gases generated in the process, all of these models is designed in such a way as to protect the operator from falling into the jet exhaust.Of course, to fully protect themselves from the unpleasant effects of the combustion products, when working with the saw will have to take into account the wind direction.A further advantage of models ZENOAH GZ400 is the fact that the hole for the exhaust outlet is equipped with protective netting.This not only prevents the escape of sparks produced during the combustion process, but also protects the muffler from being hit by foreign objects.

STIHL Chainsaw JONSERED and also have protection from sparks, despite the fact that their models are equipped with silencers drank without mesh.But from random foreign objects in the muffler are not insured, and it threatens the failure of during operation.Although such cases are rare, these saws should be handled especially carefully to protect them from damage and themselves - from injury.

We all drank from the recoil starter are located refueling point combustive-lubricating materials.For the convenience of the customer are marked with a special label.Image of a gas station with a drop marks the fuel tank cap and the oil tank is marked with a drop of the image chain.

Entanglement points refueling with petrol and oil is unacceptable, because the result can be a serious failure.At STIHL chainsaws and JONSERED refueling points are as follows: fuel tank is located near the rear handle, and the oil tank - near the front of the handle.An additional convenience saws STIHL MS180S is the presence of windows that allow visual inspection of the oil level and gasoline during operation.At both points ZENOAH chainsaw refueling located near the rear handle.For consumer convenience, they not only have the standard marking, but differ in color and size.However, if you choose this particular chainsaw at work you have to be very careful not to mix up the refueling point.

In addition, it must be remembered that the need for a chainsaw properly prepared fuel mixture, because the structure of its two-stroke engine does not provide for a separate mixing oil with the fuel.

Before begin servicing chainsaws , should be most carefully disassemble the air filter.If dismantling spending carelessly, the consequence of this may be clogging the carburetor.The front body portion slightly overlaps the free access to the spark plug, but does not preclude the possibility of rapid replacement, if necessary spark.A significant disadvantage of this model is the fact that the rapid dismantling of the carburetor is only possible with the use of the tool, supplied with the saw.

Remove the top cover chainsaw JONSERED CS 2137 is possible only with a special key.The reason is simple: the US standards require restricting access to the mechanisms of such tools.And accidentally unscrew three screws, and even those which do not fit the standard keys, it is impossible.But do not worry, cap removal process is very simple, and receive free access to the mechanism of the saw will not take more time than we have spent on his description.
