Chinese Professional Chainsaw from eBay, review

[fearofpavement]

I just read through the entire manual. Lots of comedy in there. Not sure why they don't have an American edit their technical documents...
Anyway, none of the pics in the manual look anything like the saw I received. In the specs it lists the cc as 52 or 60cc. however there aren't two sets of specs, just one. Confused.
For oil mix 20:1 for the first 25 hours and then 25:1.

Break out the porting tools!!

With that said, I think you will be lucky if you ever get to run it at 25:1.

Just the fact that it came with butter makes it AWESOME.

Lots of extra parts and pieces. Pretty complete kit to start a cutting project. Items such as eye protection, bar scabbard, gloves, mixing bottle and funnel, chain file, carb screwdriver, a couple of allen wrenches and some spares such as gaskets, spark plug, rope, complete chain adjuster, chain catcher and scrench.

Thank God they put the do not place hand on exhaust emblem on it.

There's a clear warning on page 7 of the manual that says: "The metallic parts reach high temperatures immediately after stopping the enging. sic.
So I guess if you put your hand on the muffler while it's running, it'll be ok.

Another thing I noticed once completing the assembly. The wrap handle is close enough to the starter that my fingers are squeezed between the handle and the starter cover when holding the saw in the felling position. (left side up). I do not have large hands and there's no way this would work with gloves. I tried the type of leather palm work gloves I typically wear and can't begin to get my fingers around the wrap handle (left side up) and even in the normal bucking position, they have to be jammed into position.

This saw is going to require either bare handed use or girl size hands. The pair of thin cloth type gloves supplied with the saw do require less space but I don't use that type of glove.

Not yet, just finished getting it together and it's dark now. Hope I have a chance to run it soon but it may be as long as Thursday before I have any free time.

I could seriously rock that muffler on my 036. Clearly the sexiest part of that saw

Not here. I don't polish anything.

 

[fearofpavement]

Do you plan on doing a tear down of the top end before you even run it?

Nope. I only pull the cylinders every two or three trees for inspection.

So hot! I might have to add a stick of butter to my work bench now!

 

[idiotwithasaw]

I'm eager to see this run, make sure you take video, and thank you for being the Guinea pig,

Maybe i missed it, but what was the cost of the saw? You can tell from the pictures its the cheapo plastic. Looks like a toy.

I get a kick out of them including gaskets with a new saw; what were their marketing folks thinking on that. Did anyone else notice their version of air injection looks a lot like a funnel?

It will be interesting to see how it runs. I checked one like this out on the bay and the closeup of the bar shows the chain on backwards. China is kind of a big place, you'd think someone there would know which direction the chain rotates. Give 'em an E for effort anyway.
