Bought this saw being it was fairly cheap n i cut wood for spare $ in the winter time...i see ALOT of ppl asking how to get it started..i buy premixed gas 40'1 n regular w30 motor oil for use in bar oil,,,..Cheap at dollar tree..yes oil n auto section..To start the saw put the chain break ON..pull the choke out squeeze the throttle lock a few times to get air from fuel line..turn the on switch on...place on ground use your right foot to place in handle n pull the cord n it should start,,,if still no luck,,place the file that came with the saw in the hole on the right side of the throttle to help hold it open..after 3 pulls mine started right up..i let it run on idle for 10 minutes before putting it to work.. now i have cut 22 trees with it so far n just re-sharpened my chain for the first time..you will also use the little screwdriver to open the screw for the oil to lube the bar n chain this is on the bottom of the saw where the chips come out i keep mine at the half way fully open position ..n shut this screw off when storing the saw....there is no need to send the saw back..just follow everything mentioned above n you will have no issues....good saw for the money n i am happy with the purchase n plan on getting a few more for backups// Today 9/20/19 I am giving an update..The Arksen Saw is still purring away. As seen in the photos I removed a Tree That fell on our country Road..And now I own 2 of These saws..Great for The Farm use n for My Wood Business..😁

This saw works great, if you can get it to crank. From day one I've struggled every time I've used it to crank it. Even when using starting fluid, it struggles to crank and stay cranked. Once its cranked however, stand back! This thing is a beast! I wore the chain out after cutting down a giant pine tree into tiny chunks to put on my burn pile and struggled to find a chain. Finally found this one, here on Amazon: "TC-Home 22" Chainsaw Saw Chain Blade 0.325" Pitch LP .058 Gauge 86DL Drive Links Parts" - works a champ!

This not a bad chain saw. It starts on first pull almost everytime. Decent power.But..... It is so freakin heavy OMG!! It is nearly impossible to cut anything while on a ladder. This saw is good for cutting stuff low to the ground. If you plan on cutting branches waist height or higher this saw is not for you- way too heavy!! You will get a workout with this saw.

Just want to clarify that I never write reviews but I buy everything based off reviews. This was my first time purchasing and using a chainsaw. This thing kicks ass. A huge bang for your buck. I was hesitant to buy it because of the mixed reviews but I’m glad I did. It was easy to assemble/clean/work on. Started for the first time in 5 pulls and restarted in 1-3 pulls depending on how long it was sitting.2 cons. 1. Probably needs a little bit bigger motor but it worked just fine for what I need it for. 2. It is pretty heavyI’ll deal with the weight for $300 cheaper than a big name brand.

Took a chance after seeing some video on this unit, ordered and it sat in the box for some time before I could set it up to use, but so far have no complaints on this unit. Easy assembly, started with a few pulls and has the power to rip through large logs so far. Cut 26 - 18" plugs easily so far up to 30" diameter with no difficulty and still need to cut several more with larger diameters. Engine is strong so am looking to get a larger bar and chain as my max diameter to come is around 50" and think this can handle it with the larger setup.

I bought this chainsaw to - along with other odd jobs - cut up 5, 3 foot long logs about 24 to 28 inch in diameter. The size of the logs and being the center of the logs were rotted, it some created slicing but the saw more then did the trick.UPDATE: after cutting up the logs, a couple days later I grabbed the saw to cut the stumps down to size. It is now 4 weeks later and I still cant get the thing started - checked filter, new plug checked spark, freash fuel/oil, is getting gas. Wont start so I reduced the stars and I certainly would not recommend this saw to anyone.

starts right up and very powerful have used about 3hr and seems like good chainsaw for the price ,could have bought 3 of these for the same I paid for a name branded one that's probably made in the same plant.

We only used this 3 times. 2nd time we had to change the spark plug. Now there's not any spark and won't start. The times we used it was for cutting a couple small branches. I will never buy this product again
