Chainsaw "Partner": feedback and appropriateness of purchase

Most of the potential buyers of chain saws choose a gasoline tool, and there are many reasons for this. The most obvious among them is mobility. Chainsaw does not depend on the vagaries of power engineers, weather and wiring condition in your home. You should know that there are three classes of this tool, which are chosen in different situations and for different purposes.

Household cuttings

They are ideal for those who need saws only for sporadic harvesting of branches in the garden, as well as for the rare sawing of firewood. The power does not shine with such a tool, it has relatively few functional and technological advantages, and the number of hours of work guaranteed by the manufacturer also does not exceed the scale. For example, any such a chainsaw "Partner", reviews of which speak about the same, for a professional felling of the forest is definitely not suitable.

But the cost of these saws is small, and their weight is calculated for the usual short work. Roughly speaking, this type of instrument should not be used more than once a day. Here everything is simple: if you are comfortable with the possibility of cutting wood a day or two a day, this is an ideal choice, which you will not regret. If not, you will have to save money for a more expensive and high-quality model.

Chainsaws of semi-professional level

Do not assume that this is something between the professional and household tools. Rather, it is a kind of "unfinished" in the good sense of the word professional saws, which lack some "bells and whistles".

They will be an ideal tool for those who earn additionally on private construction or earn a living by harvesting firewood. Ideal example - chainsaw "Partner", the reviews of which speak for themselves.

Her choice may be due to several reasons. Firstly, it is an excellent manufacturer, well-established among professional builders and masters. The second factor is attractive cost. Husqvarna and Stihl ask very good money for their professional class saws. Americans (in close cooperation with China) are much more democratic in their pricing policy.

If we consider specific models, the chainsaw "Partner" 350 is originally designed for felling medium-sized trees, and also good for construction of household level.

For a semi-professional instrument, the weight of 4.7 kg is almost a miracle. Ergonomics at a height: all switches are conveniently and logically located, they are easy to use. The accelerator is easy to grope, and the starter handle and the switch are combined into a single control element. For beginners directly on the body, many pictorial pictograms are stamped, which can greatly facilitate the management of the instrument at first. Unfortunately, there is no vibration damping system. Part of the problem can be corrected by buying special gloves, but for a long work it is better to purchase something more serious. But the chainsaw "Partner", reviews of which are very sympathetic, perfectly suited for work in the suburban areas.

Unlike the products of other companies, it is very easy to unscrew the air filter: it is fixed to only three bolts, and the filter material can be easily cleaned. Even after a long standstill, the saw is excellent and the "start" is started. There is a function of "suction", which the chainsaw "Partner" (reviews speak for themselves) is due to its easy start.

The volume of the engine is 36 cm ³ , it can produce up to 2 hp. (1.3 kW), and the torque is always in excess. The volume of the gas tank and oil tank is 400 ml and 200 ml respectively, and thanks to the transparent plastic housings you can easily control the amount of liquid. The standard length of the tire that comes with the kit is 350 mm. One should not think that such a length is too small: engineers perfectly balance the tool, so this is exactly the size of the tire, the work with which will be most comfortable.

If the engine starts to poorly keep the revs, in most cases, a fouled fuel filter is to blame for this. It should be remembered that the plastic on the starter is quite fragile: it is undesirable to use it at temperatures below 15 degrees Celsius. The saw is clean enough. So, the fuel mixture older than two weeks must be drained, and the tank should be washed with clean gasoline. The air filter needs to be cleaned more often, and also not to be lazy to pierce the lubrication channels of the tire from blockages. Given that the cost of such a tool is not higher than $ 200, it is difficult to call it shortcomings.

The main disadvantage is only that the saw can not work more than a few hours in a row, and even "waving" it all day is not exactly recommended. However, given the complete absence of an anti-vibration system, the "Partner" of 351 chainsaws (and similar models) does not set such diligence at all.
