Overview
A landowner or firewood cutter gets a long-bar gas chainsaw with Smart Start, a side-mounted chain tensioner and LowVib vibration reduction. An air injection system removes larger dust before it reaches the air filter.
Power and bar length put this saw in the farm and acreage class, well beyond a pruning saw. Smart Start eases cold starting, and a side tensioner makes slack easy to adjust. Gasoline, mixed oil and chain sharpening come with owning it.
Who it's for
Property owners and firewood cutters who need a full-length bar and engine power for regular sawing. Someone who only trims small limbs would be better served by a lighter, battery-powered saw.
Pros and cons
- Long bar for larger logs
- Smart Start for easier starting
- Side-mounted chain tensioner
- Low vibration design
- Needs mixed fuel and oil
- Heavy for overhead work
- Chain speed figure not given
Performance notes
Engine size and bar length set how thick a log the saw can cut, while a sharp chain and correct tension decide how fast it cuts. The automatic oil pump feeds bar oil as the chain runs, so the reservoir needs checking before each session. Anti-vibration design reduces fatigue on long cuts.
