Well built, heavy chainsaw.
This Chainsaw is a fantastic tool, heavy robust design. Plastics are strong and fit well. Kick back guard/switch is sensitive causing an immediate stop. This gives you confidence, always use it when the saw isn't being used, this should be habit and checked every time you pick it up. Pulling the plug isn't always possible.
Power button is definitely not left handed, saftey switch can be difficult to use. However once let go the chain stops within 10cm.
Cable has a loose fit abrasion sleeve to reduce breaking the wire... It is very short, so correct wrap around your neck to under arm may cause lifting the extension socket, this is a lack of understanding of cable safety.
Motor is very powerful, 2000w of isn't power, start before touching surface... Apply no weight to blade, but lock to stop kick back, while pushing the body teeth in and Pivot the bar down. Feel for weight pinching, chain flex, watching for the end of the cut, Teeth help to stop saw dropping but should not be trusted. Be ready to take full weight, keep the area clear of anything you don't want cut if you fail! Good practice.
This tool causes respectable fear, always plan your cut understanding the do's & don'ts, weakness of a chainsaw and things that can happen. Plan your cuts, Do not just go in with hope, it will bite, jump, lock, flex till chain jumps. Fear is the correct state of mind here.
Buy chain oil, clean and Lube and address any issues. If you cannot then detach the bar, to remind you its not safe to use. DIY tools have long gaps between use, disabled an unsafe tool before putting away.
Great tool, demands respect every time the motor growls. The price is just awesome for what you get.
