So far I have used an electric chainsaw. But the trees and the small grove grow with each passing year more quickly into the air. I got myself then professional help in the form of a forest worker with chainsaw certificate, the completed with his professional petrol chain saw work in a fraction of the time. He explained to me the safety and protective equipment that are essential when handling a chainsaw for one's own safety. Of course, I wanted to adopt a distinct petrol chainsaw me now. At first I made my thoughts on the purpose. With me is the saw 3-4 times a year for trees / branches with a diameter of max. 25 cm are used. A total of about 20 hours of work for tree maintenance and to a few cubic meters to make firewood. Thus, the field of application was clear and now the search was going on for the right tool. If you researched a bit longer it is found that on the one hand the expensive "German brands-saws" and on the other hand amazingly inexpensive "Far Eastern Baumarkt-saws" are offered. The price / performance ratio clearly in favor of the Far East Product ATIKA BKS 38, which in many test reports excellent cut with grade 1.6 and circulates under various brand names. Very important are a good chain (chrome) and the leader sheet. I have a short 14 "(35 cm) elected sword because it makes to agonize with a long sword and the corresponding heavy motor little sense if you never need -. Not to mention the fuel consumption throughout the delivered one must sheet and chain ATIKA BKS 38 still mounted, but on the basis of well-illustrated German manual was not a problem a round file for sharpening the saw teeth, Kaftstoff-mixing tank 40 nor as an accessory:.. 1, allen wrench supplied with screwdriver and sword protection After the had filled fluids, it was at the start. switch to ON, pump primer several times, by pressing the throttle trigger and pull the choke. The cold start worked without any trouble and the engine took the gas immediately agile to. The first 3 tank fillings please no heavy lifting of the small Saw demand, the engine will thank you with a long life. The new chain stretches a little and should be tightened after a few slices necessarily. Now that I have some work assignments with my ATIKA BKS had 38, I can give an unlimited purchase recommendation. Wen disturb the exhaust gases, which can use the almost odorless mixture of alkylate-based. It must for private use not "German brand saw" (in the Far East and components are used) be for 1000 euros. Clear - a professional course will only use an expensive professional saw for the daily work and the hours of continuous use. As I said: It depends on the intended use!
