PORTLAND Gas-Powered Chainsaw

This chainsaw uses a 2-stroke engine that requires a 50:1 gasoline-to-oil mixture. You should use high-quality 2-cycle engine oil mixed with unleaded gasoline.

No, this specific model does not feature an automatic oiler. You will need to manually monitor and apply chain oil to ensure the bar and chain remain properly lubricated during operation.

The chainsaw is equipped with a spring-assist starter, which reduces the amount of pull force required to turn the engine over. This makes starting the unit significantly easier than traditional pull-start systems.

With a 42cc engine and an 18-inch bar, this saw is well-suited for demanding cutting jobs like felling small trees, clearing brush, and bucking logs. It is designed for durability, though it is best suited for residential and light-to-medium land management tasks.

This model uses a side-access manual chain tensioner. You will need to loosen the bar nuts and use the tensioning screw located on the side of the housing to achieve the correct chain tightness.

The chainsaw includes an inertia-activated chain brake, which is designed to stop the chain rotation automatically in the event of a kickback. It also features metal bucking spikes to provide better leverage and control while cutting.
