FAQ
Look at engine power (cc or kW), bar length, and weight. Think about your intended use – cutting firewood, felling trees, or heavy-duty tasks? Choose a model that matches your needs and experience.
For small trees and firewood, a 35–45 cm³ engine with a 30–35 cm bar is usually enough. For larger trunks or professional use, go for 50 cm³ or more.
Use alkylate petrol or 2-stroke petrol with the correct oil mix (typically 2%). Chain oil is separate and must be refilled regularly. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.
Clean the air filter and cooling fins, keep the chain sharp and properly tensioned, refill oil, and replace the spark plug as needed. Regular maintenance improves safety and extends lifespan.
