Makita EA3202S-40

Advantages: Light weight, easy start, comfortable chain tightening, quiet.

Disadvantages: Have not found

Comment: I did not particularly choose, I trusted the positive reviews on this site. And for good reason. The saw turned out to be very good for my scope of work. Felling a small birch forest, sawing all trash for firewood - you can't imagine better. The kit includes everything you need. I looked into the instructions purely for show - everything is very simple and clear. After the purchase, I removed the top cover and applied a little grease to the "start / stop / throttle" lever, because on dry, it is very difficult to lift the lever up. Considering that it is plastic - so scary. But a little grease and voila, it worked great. Well, just in case, I greased the metal rod from the handle to the carburetor. I don’t think it takes a long time to dry a thin wire. Well, then fill in oil, gasoline. Very convenient "pumping" of gasoline. Started up 3 times. The felling process started. Small birch trees with a diameter of up to 20-25 cm felled like clockwork. By the way - there is almost no vibration. I don’t know how they did it, but the saw doesn’t shake in my hands. Very nice. In subsequent operation, the saw proved to be excellent. It starts up on a cold one from a maximum of 3 times (this is taking into account the fact that it is -20 on the street), on a hot / warm one from the first. Rumbles quietly. Well, I will not hide - it pleases. The only inconvenience has already been noted here - it is very easy to accidentally drown out. That's it, I didn't find any more flaws. If you have not logged, but let's say an ordinary house in the village ... then with all the everyday tasks such as harvesting firewood, pruning branches, etc., the saw will cope with a bang. I recommend it for purchase.

Advantages: Always starts the first time. Large fuel tank capacity. Metal anti-vibration springs. The ability to adjust the oil supply to the chain. Very detailed instructions.

Disadvantages: A very sensitive "Stop" button, a couple of times accidentally touched this button and thereby jammed the saw. Although in case of danger, you can easily and quickly stop the motor. The drive sprocket comes with the clutch drum (welded), so it won't come cheap when you buy a new one.

Comment: My first chainsaw. She had to endure a lot. I have already "sawed off" my own chain and tire. Dirty wood will quickly spoil the chain and tire. Now I use the Calm chain and the Oregon bus. The saw is quite lightweight and compact. And even looks pretty :) However, when cutting thick stumps, one feels that the power is not enough. Summing up, we can say that if you take this saw for yourself to the dacha, then this is an excellent choice, and if for work in logging, then it is better to take something more powerful.

Advantages: Neat assembly, nice to hold, sensible instruction. Saws briskly, when assembled and tucked in, it weighs about 5 kg (4.1 kg - without a pulley, chain and fuel), started up from the 3rd jerk (after suction and cold start according to the instructions), XX is even.

Disadvantages: Not noticed. While it is cooling, oil drips from the supply nozzle onto the chain (you need to put a rag under the base of the pulley for the first 15-20 minutes after work) - but it seems that everyone has it and the instructions honestly say about it.

Comment: There is an adjustment of XX, water mixture, oil supply to the chain. All the adjustments turned out to be correct - nothing had to be adjusted. Explanatory instruction in Russian with pictures, with a description of sawing techniques, nuances, maintenance and assembly - disassembling the saw. From unpacking to starting with the assembly of the pulley, preparing the fuel mixture, tightening the chain - no more than 15 minutes. - and before that I never had a chainsaw. I recommend everyone to read the instructions in full - there are many useful and intelligible descriptions.

Advantages: Although it is a Chinese replica, it is felt that the Tool has been assembled under license and under control. The settings of the carburetor and the oil supply to the chain from the box are not satisfactory. Starts up and cuts without problems. The oil supply to the chain can be adjusted according to the density of the wood. She saws herself! )))

Disadvantages: Not noticed. Product from the category of price-quality.

Comment: I have been using simpler models for more than one year. Our interskol used, Partner, Calm. Impressions like a Mercedes after ZAZ 968 moved. In terms of power, Inteskol will give a head start, but the weight is 7+, and with full tanks it is almost 8 kg - it is very noticeable after half an hour of work, especially if you cut with a tool raised up. The rest (cheaper analogues Partner, Calm) can be ignored. Makita will give a head start. Factory without problems. If people do not succeed, they simply did not read the Instructions. Up switch - two jerks and a flash on the second. The switch is in the working position and starts from the first jerk! Pay attention to the mixture !!! Different two-stroke engine oils have different viscosities! I use Lux Super 2T - the mixture is strictly according to the instructions! 1:50 And it's convenient: in a measuring glass for 1 liter, 10 grams of oil and 500 grams of the 92nd mix perfectly and, after half an hour of work, it is quite convenient to top up the remainder to a full tank. For a month of use, there are no problems with the plant. A separate question about the oil supply channel to the chain. Due to the design, you need to follow. Can be clogged with sawdust. But, if, after a couple of hours of operation, let the Tool cool down, tighten the chain - at the same time remove the cover and clean it at once - there will be no problems. It will take 10-15 minutes and the chain will last a long time. Better, of course, to use a pair of chains. One after a couple of months of work on maintenance and sharpening, and the second to work. But, I think for most users in the garden, in their home - this is not needed: quite a solid chain from the box. Of course there is a stretch. But it depends on your "stubbornness" in the file and forgetting to use denser wood to increase (very convenient! Half a turn of the screw without disassembling anything!) The oil supply to the chain. You can sing a lot more praises - I will say more simply: The price is fully consistent with the quality and capabilities of the Instrument. For a summer cottage Ideal option. Let it be a little more expensive than analogs - but, if used correctly, you will only get pleasure from the quickly completed work! Recommend!

Advantages: price + quality.

Disadvantages: taking into account my lack of experience, she should write about my shortcomings about where my hands grow from))

Comment: my first chainsaw, I almost went crazy while choosing and reading the forums)))) met all expectations. I took her to the village, where she was given a request ... to sleep, they cut down everything from the old, 50 year old apple trees (with sawing for firewood) to the openings in the bathhouse. The chain was stunned, but it was worth it))))

Advantages: "Gentle" start, No vibration. Little noisy. Economical. Sawing is a pleasure.

Disadvantages: Time will tell.

Comment: I read all the previous reviews. A lot of insanity. First, you do not need to convulsively jerk the starter. You smoothly pull the starter cord and it works like a watch. (in the manual, everything is painted in black and white) and the ratchet does not need to be changed every two months. The first launch took place without any problems (I pulled the gas trigger and the speed dropped to normal) In general, read the manual carefully and you will be happy.

Advantages: I have been using this saw for a long time. In a reasonable use for her, it does not cause any problems at all.

Disadvantages: One of the "problems" that manifested itself at the beginning is the indistinct activation of the damper, that is, the transfer to the upper position of the lever. However, over time, she decided, A little more effort needed to be made.

Comment: She doesn't have to work in felling or sawing thick trees, she's not for that. Lightweight, manoeuvrable, minimal vibration and comfort from its use - that's what you get in return.

Advantages: The saw is excellent

Disadvantages: Not immediately figured out how to start. Either my brain slowed down, or the instruction is not very good. It turns out that you need to switch the switch to a cold start and pull it until the first setting (once the engine puffs up and immediately stalls) - usually 2-3 times. After that, you need to put the switch to a cold start and start it - usually on the second jerk it starts without problems.

Comment: Great saw!

Advantages: Lightweight and easy to use. Price. I bought it for 10,500.

Disadvantages: There is no fuel and oil level window. Not critical.

Comment: Was purchased for "extermination" of birches on the site. 10 acres of solid birch forest ... The saw proved to be excellent! There was enough power for felling rather large trunks. I recommend buying an additional (hardened) chain for my own chain.

Advantages: Lightweight. Starts up without misfires.

Disadvantages: I will find - I will add.

Comment: Consistently stable and easy starting. Cold - 2 times with a damper and 1 time without it. Relatively quiet. My sander is louder. Over time, I will replenish the review.
