Rating of the best Chinese chainsaws for 2022

The first association that arises from the word chainsaw is felling trees. The more professional the model, the better it copes with its task. But, in addition to sawing trees, it can cut branches, shrubs, use it in construction, etc. In the article, we will consider how to choose a high-quality gasoline saw and not miscalculate the price, what popular models and novelties of Chinese chainsaws exist, and how much each saw costs.

Description

A chainsaw is a saw with a chain and a gasoline engine for working with wood and other materials. It is completely autonomous and more convenient to use than an electric one.

Kinds:

1. Household. Suitable for small jobs in the garden and garden.
2. Semi-professional. Allows you to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Cope with trees, shrubs and branches.
3. Professional. The most powerful and productive. Designed for professional felling.

Device and main characteristics

Any model consists of a body with handles (with a handle), inside which the engine is located, and a working part (tire with chain). The device provides for a stationary state of the circuit at idle.

The device contains two tanks:

• fuel, which contains the fuel mixture;
• oil, it contains oil that lubricates the chain during use.

Filters in the tool can be of several types:

• Spongy. It is most often made of sponge polyurethane foam or rubber. After complete contamination, it is replaced with a new one.
• Felt. It cleans the air quite effectively, it is used in places with severe pollution.
• Nylon. If heavily soiled, it can be washed with a soft brush in soapy water and dried.

Tires and chain

The bar guides the chain in operation, the greater the power of the saw, the longer the bar will be.

Low profile chains are used for non-professional equipment.The main advantage is low vibration, but the performance is reduced.

The components of the saw set (bar, chain, sprocket or drive sprocket) from different manufacturers are not compatible with each other. Having chosen a specific tool model and manufacturer, try to select the appropriate components of the same company.

Oil

Oil must be selected depending on the season and temperature. For the summer period, mineral oils are most often used, they perform their function well in summer, but crystallize at low temperatures. Synthetic oils are used for the winter season, they are more viscous and work well at sub-zero temperatures. Semi-synthetic oils can be used in any season.

For long work in winter, it is also necessary to provide for heating the carburetor during use; before starting to cut, it is necessary to warm up the saw if it was stored in a cold room so that there is no condensation.

Chainsaw resources

This figure refers to the time the tool has been running from the date of purchase to the first overhaul, or until the compression ratio is reduced by 40%. The main factors that affect this indicator:

• Maintenance. It must be carried out on time, filters must be changed, components lubricated, etc.
• Operating mode. It must be observed in accordance with the instructions, a large volume may lead to overheating of parts, and this contributes to a decrease in operating efficiency.
• Use of branded components (oils, filters).

Criterias of choice

1. Dimensions. For felling, you need a professional, most powerful saw up to 75 cm long. For home use, a household or semi-professional model, 30-40 cm in size, is suitable.
2. The weight.The more the saw weighs, the greater its performance. For a small amount of wood, you can choose a light, maneuverable model.
3. Power. For home woodworking, 2-3 kW will be enough; for professional use, you will need a tool of at least 6 kW.
4. Additional functionality. Additional features, such as smooth speed control, will help you smoothly change the speed of the chain during operation. If it is possible to change such indicators as the depth of cut or cutting speed, then this will be a big plus when working.
5. Price. Inexpensive (budget) models are suitable for a few household chores. They are made of poor quality material and have a minimum lifespan. The best manufacturers guarantee the durability of their tool, but at the same time its cost will be high. Therefore, which one is better to buy a saw, choose based on your capabilities and the amount of work performed.
6. Where could I buy. You can purchase a tool in a regular garden tool store or order it on the website, when buying in an online store, check that the declared product matches the one that will be delivered to you.

First start

After unpacking, before the first use, it is necessary to carefully study the attached instructions and inspect the saw. The handle must be non-slip, the packaging must have all the necessary markings. Before starting, you need to carry out all the preparatory work specified in the instructions, otherwise the tool may work inefficiently or not start at all.
