Hyundai 2400W 16 Inch Electric Chainsaw with Oregon Bar Tool Free Tensioning and Auto Chain Lubrication for Tree Felling Log Cutting and Pruning

Wow! I bought this as I had a beech hedge that was in such a difficult place to trim, it got out of control. Beech hedge will quickly revert to trees as soon as you turn your back. These two trunks merged to form an uber-beech trunk, siamesed at 5ft high. I did manage to lop it, but I was faced with a strange wooden arch that fought off my reciprocating saw, emasculating its (and my) pride. A new shed needed the space, so this meant war. The beech trunks at 40 years old were lifting slabs. It was no longer a demure hedge but threatening to take over. With my reciprocating saw out of the fight, and both batteries dead. I bought this bad lad, whom I have lovingly named the 'Max b'stard 9000'. It did not disappoint. It needed some assembly out of the box, which was simple enough. Some oil in the tank, I used 3-in-1. I have heard that vegetable oil works well, but I prefer my chips cooked in that. Threading the chain onto the spocket and through the guard rail was a little fiddly, but easy enough. Calmer hands would prevail easily. I used my oil can to drop a little of its amber magic onto the sprocket to soak in. I'm old school, you do not have to, but like the essential things in life, it is best to be well-lubed before going in. Once fastened, tensioning the chain was simple with a couple of turns on the big nob. No, not the operator, but a dial on the chainsaw. There is a chain brake, which is engaged when you get it. A hearty pull on the brake, some power, and woah! Get behind me, Satan. Literally, get right behind this thing. Point, pull the trigger (with a dead man's button - reassuring). On contact, it has an auto power setting from 'nibble' to 'devour everything in its path'. At full chat, it was all over very quickly - story of my life. The wife was watching (supervising) and could barely look, while I got to work earning stars on my man badge. There was no vibration, smooth as a hot knife through butter, and whilst I was hanging on (wary of kickback - it didn't), I stamped my authority on this mutant beech. It was on the floor faster than a vertically challenged Italian footballer in the 6-yard box. At 5kg in weight, it has some heft but not so heavy that it's a chore. It chomped through the trunks in about three minutes flat. Some man handling the trunks, and more nom-nom from the chainsaw, they are in manageable chunks, with the wife saying "Are you finished yet?" Story of my life. If you are new to chainsaws (like me - but a keen power tools enthusiast), or fancy something in your arsenal to keep your garden in check, this is the chainsaw to get. It would not manage anything like a big tree (it would have a good try, but would probably break). It is a brilliant piece of kit, and any tree in that difficult mid-life crisis period is easy prey. The chain supplied was up to the job, no idea on longevity, but I might treat it to a more premium one, I am that enamoured. Reasonable money, very well put together, did the job with ease. In a house with a wife and two teenage daughters. I am back as head of the household and not the bald headed, tubby irrelevance and part-time taxi driver. Five stars, recommended, and the hedges that border our house have a new Sheriff in town.

Easy to assemble and operate. It’s fairly light but cuts well and was a good price. I used it to fell two conifers with trunks about 16 inches in diameter and then to cut the trunks into smaller sections. It wasn’t as powerful or as quick as a petrol saw but did the job without problems quickly enough. It comes with a long cable which is a great advantage. It doesn’t come with chain lubricant so you have to buy that separately. It’s very easy to adjust the chain tension. Very happy to recommend it.

Having used the machine the once so far. It functions well, appears sturdy & well made, Time will tell, of course, over weeks & months on longevity, Thus 4 Stars out of 5 at this stage! On unboxing the saw, Things did not go (initially) as expected. The chain was removed from the plastic storage bag, however, I was unable to fit it, due to it being 'tangled'. ( The various unboxing video's/user guides do not mention this can occur) After 20mins of unsucessfully trying to untangle it, rather than get ever more frustrated, I did a You Tube search for 'Untangling a New Chain Saw Chain' video. Sure enough, there were a few available, with tuition as to how to untangle the chain (thankfully). If you have the same issue, save yourself some hassle and do likewise. On fitting the chain, and before endevouring to adjust the tension & rotate it on the bar, be sure to check that the 'Chain Brake' is 'Off' with the plastic handle pulled towards you when holding the saw in the correct orientation (mine was in the 'On' postion) which i assume is the 'default' setting out of the box. Then (with the machine unplugged) push in the 'Trigger Lock' and squeeze the trigger to pull the chain around the bar with a gloved hand (safety/work glove). Before use, and after filling with chain oil, I ran the machine to check the oil was being dispensed onto the chain, which the user guide suggested was 'within a few seconds', This took a number of minutes, (3-4) in this case, before the oil started coming through, after which all was fine.

Thought I’d give this a go, as slightly intimidated by the thought of a chain saw, and this really surprised me. It effortlessly brought down an established eucalyptus tree that sadly had to go before it did some damage, and its been helping me prune tree branches ever since - well worth the money, easy to use and I was way more comfortable using this than I ever would be a full on chainsaw. But don’t think that the price or the fact that it’s electric means that this doesn’t do the job well because it 100% does.

The electric chain saw is just the job for cutting small to medium logs easily , it doesn’t waver and gives a nice clean cut . The price for the item is excellent.

It’s a wonderful working machine, I’m impressed with the efficiency given its size . I had a mcculloch CS50s which break down and also advertised as heavy duty but the Hyundai does more. I cut down a fully grown tree . The Hyundai is much better in my opinion , easy to use , the only minor drawback , I have to keep checking the chain and adjust the tensioner around after every 7 -8 cuts. It works for me , not recommended but I’ve used vegetable oil and it work amazingly. 5 star from me. Good value for my money, robust and easy to use , perfect cut.

ممتاز جدا قطعت به شجرة كمثرى كبيرة تقريبا جذعها 40 سم , ثم جزأت الجذع , وكان المنشار يعمل بكفائة في كل مرة, وكأني اغمس سكين في زبدة
