Smoldering Chainsaw that melts don't ever buy this
Bought a few months ago , unboxed a few days ago only as was busy moving to my farm . Assembled Chainsaw , chain brake cover would not go on as could not release chain brake . Stripped chain brake handle , none of the linkages were lubed during assembly , lubed all the linkages , chain brake now working perfectly . Assembled everything , adjusted chain , filled up with chain oil and fuel . Started on third pull , all seemed fine . Allowed saw to warm up and plastic close to exhaust started melting and peeling back . Cut down a medium size tree (yes only 1) , when done , the chain brake handle had melted and fell off and the plastic covers were all smoking and blistering . Shut saw down , made sure my fire extinguisher was close by in case , waited 30 minutes , saw would not start again . I have binned the saw and went straight to reputable retailer and bought a proper chainsaw(orange) .
This product should not be sold in Australia , it is exceptionally poor quality and a serious safety risk !
