Einhell 4501720 Kettensäge Schwarz, Rot 2000 W

I had a large fir hodge removed but needed to cut the stumps lo the ground. Good job done

Instructions were good, I made sure to read them slowly and throughly for obvious reasons. I got the chain on ok, I made sure the tension was right, added the oil to the reservoir. Got to cut my first branch and it was incredibly hard work. The next one during the cut the saw started to smell and smoke. The wife told me to put more effort into it! I told her I’d watched videos and it shouldn’t be this hard, something was wrong… I looked at the blade that the chain was wrapped around and noticed a very small indicator that enlightened me to realise the chain was on the wrong way around. The silver cutters in the chain needed to face away from the device at the top and towards the device at the bottom. After the switch the chainsaw cut through the branches and trunk like a hot knife through butter! Small conifer felled in around 30 mins! I note many 1 stars reviews have probably been due to the chain on the wrong way. Great product!

Bought one of these to cut up logs in my garden. Was a little hesitant but the machine does cut very nicely. My only issue is that it is easy for the oil lubrication system to get blocked and so every 20 minutes or so I have to check the chain and sometimes disassemble and clean before proceeding. I plan to sharpen after every 1 hour session.

Worked for almost 30 minutes and now it's dead so I threw it in the bin. Motor burnt out. It did cut the branches so was sharp enough but it was poor quality and mostly plastic. Won't be buying another like this as I think the same will happen again. Yes I did buy the correct oil and put it in as per the manual.

I bought this as it was cheaper to buy outright than to hire one for the day. It arrived quickly, well packaged. It was a little fiddly to get the chain on properly, and, although great value, it wouldn't have hurt to have included some oil. As it was, I used olive oil, as this was recommended elsewhere. This isn't light! But I needed to chop down a palm tree that had suffered weather damage. Took me all of 10 minutes to remove the branches, and cut the trunk down into log sized chunks to be dried and used as bbq fuel in the summer. Went like a hot knife through butter. It may not be able to withstand industrial use, but for occasional cutting this is a fantastic addition to my tools.
