Remington RM5118R Chain Saw

The Oregon components are designed for reduced maintenance, but you should still regularly check the chain tension and keep the teeth sharp. The automatic oiler handles lubrication during operation, so you only need to ensure the oil reservoir remains filled.

While the 51cc engine provides significant power, the spring-assist starting mechanism makes it much easier to pull-start than traditional gas saws. The anti-vibration handle and inertia chain brake also add layers of comfort and safety that are helpful for less experienced users.

Yes, as a 2-cycle engine, this saw requires a mixture of gasoline and 2-cycle engine oil. Always refer to the owner's manual for the specific fuel-to-oil ratio recommended by Remington to ensure the engine runs properly.

The inertia chain brake is a critical safety feature that automatically stops the chain if the saw experiences sudden kickback. It provides an immediate mechanical stop to help prevent injury during operation.

With an 18-inch bar and a 51cc engine, this saw is well-suited for felling, limbing, and cutting firewood. It is designed to handle demanding tasks, though the size of the tree should always be balanced against the 18-inch bar length for safe operation.
